Named in honor of Thomas Allen Legare, Jr.



History

The T. Allen Legare Bridge is a bridge that spans the Ashley River in Charleston, South Carolina, USA. It is also commonly known as the Legare Bridge or the Ashley River Bridge. The bridge connects downtown Charleston to West Ashley and provides a key transportation link between these areas.

The T. Allen Legare Bridge is a cable-stayed bridge, which means it is supported by cables attached to towers rather than traditional suspension cables. It was constructed to replace the old Ashley River bridges, which were deemed structurally deficient. The new bridge was opened to traffic in 2005 and has since become an important route for commuters and visitors traveling between downtown Charleston and West Ashley.
