This end of the West Ashley Bikeway is, I believe, the old Seaboard Air Line Railway (after 1946 the Seaboard Air Line Railroad and after July 1967 the Seaboard Coast Line Railroad). The bridge over the Ashley River is obviously gone. This SAL route was opened in late 1917, running between Charleston and Savannah - and right through the heart of Sun City Hilton Head, where this writer lives. Two articles about SAL and SCL were written for the October and November 2009 issues of SunSations, the Sun City magazine. SAL built the line to compete with its adversary the Atlantic Coast Railroad (ACL) but then, following WW II and the development of the trucking industry and the Interstates, SAL merged with ACL to create SCL. The line was shut down and abandoned during the 1960s, it is believed, but remnants, including portions that run through Sun City, can easily be seen using Google Earth. Seaboard is the "S" in CSX, which operates on the old Charleston and Savannah line that was used by ACL. If you follow this line southward, you'll see that it passes through the Links at Stono Creek where an historical sign proclaims the line to be C & S. It is actually SAL/SCL. See Dr. Stone's excellent book "Vital Rails" for photographs of the historical sign. We are in the process of straightening these facts out... as of October 2009.

Well, not really the Cooper River which is a good 16 miles south of there. It's actually over the Rediversion Canal that will later turn into the Santee River.

Yep. I asked another couple of guys from Chas. Water Systems, and they confirmed that it was indeed a lift station.
This also explains to me how a lift station can run into the hundreds of thousands of dollars.

Properly, I think this is a transverse 6.
