All news →The Battery Extension Comes to Lockwood Drive — Right Next Door
The City of Charleston and the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers are advancing the Battery Extension, a perimeter flood-protection system encircling the Peninsula. The Lockwood Drive segment runs along the western edge of Harleston Village.
Three Kinds of Flooding, Three Lines of Defense
Storm surge, sunny-day tides, and rainfall are three different flooding problems with three different fixes — and the space between the knee wall and the Battery Extension becomes stormwater storage. Here's how they work together.
The Lockwood Drive Knee Wall — A Near-Term Fix for Our Flooded Edge
Lockwood Drive floods even on sunny days. The City's near-term "knee wall" — a sub-2-foot seawall with check valves and a gate — is designed to keep the road dry and work hand in hand with the larger Battery Extension.
