Cooper River Farms Project Overview

In the heart of Charleston, South Carolina lies one of YBC’s newest Timber Vehicular bridges at Cooper River Farms Apartments, a new residential community within Charleston that is comprised of 56 acres of woods and former farmland is threaded with creeks and trails. This 65 foot free span bridge glides along the landscape with a configuration of rails, posts and combined with the “translucent” finish to the bridge – which provides a unique and natural look to the setting, welcoming its residents home.
