Formally the World War II Memorial Bridge, the Northbridge spans the almost half mile distance along S.C. Highway 7 over the Ashley River connecting North Charleston and West Ashley.

 
 

The purpose of the Better Northbridge is to provide a safer alternative for walking and biking over the Ashley River enhancing connectivity between the communities of North Charleston and West Ashley. The Better Northbridge project is currently in the study phase.
