==Infrastructure== ===Transportation=== Hardeeville serves as a major transportation hub for the Lowcountry and Coastal Empire regions, with several major regional transportation links. Listed below are some of the major transportation links that are located in the city. *{{jct|I|95|state=SC}}, the major north-south highway on the [[East Coast of the United States|Eastern Seaboard]], runs through Hardeeville. Exits 5 and 8 are located in the city and provide numerous motorist services. A South Carolina welcome center is located in the city, shortly before Exit 5 on the northbound lanes. The four-lane interstate is expected to be widened to six lanes from Exit 8 to the state line to help with increasing congestion. A future exit 3 is being planned and will help assist in the flow of traffic around the city and to [[Bluffton, South Carolina|Bluffton]] and [[Hilton Head Island]]. *{{jct|US|17|state=SC}}, a principal route connecting [[Charleston, South Carolina|Charleston]], [[Savannah, Georgia|Savannah]] and beyond, enters Hardeeville shortly after crossing the Savannah River from Georgia and remains in the city limits for {{convert|15|mi|km}}. The road is known locally as Speedway Boulevard for points south of I-95 and as Whyte Hardee Boulevard north of the interstate. U.S. 17 is exit 5 off I-95. The road is mainly four lanes wide, with some segments having a center turn lane, while other segments are limited-access. Sections of two-lane configurations exist in the northern and southern areas of the city. *{{jct|US|278|state=SC}}, also known as Independence Boulevard, is a heavily traveled thoroughfare connecting Hardeeville and Interstate 95 with Bluffton and Hilton Head Island. As mentioned above, most of the city's major large-scale developments are occurring along this corridor. U.S. 278 is Exit 8 off I-95. Heading north, the route runs concurrent with U.S. 17 until [[Ridgeland, South Carolina|Ridgeland]], before veering west toward Augusta, Georgia and Atlanta. *{{jct|US|321|state=SC}}, also known as Deerfield Highway, is a lightly traveled route for cars, yet serves as a commercially important link for trucks heading for the Port of Savannah. From its starting point/terminus at U.S. 17 near Interstate 95, the route heads northward toward Columbia, South Carolina; Charlotte, North Carolina; and Knoxville, Tennessee. *{{jct|SC|46|state=SC}}, known locally as Main Street, runs eastward from its starting point at U.S. 321 over the CSX rail line, intersects U.S. 17, goes under I-95, and continues eastward towards Bluffton, passing by the hamlet of [[Pritchardville, South Carolina|Pritchardville]] and the new development of Palmetto Bluff. The route provides a more scenic and less traveled alternative to U.S. 278. *{{jct|SC|170|state=SC}}, known locally as Okatie Highway, Freedom Parkway, and Alligator Alley, runs generally northeast to southwest, connecting Hardeeville with [[Beaufort, South Carolina|Beaufort]] and northern Beaufort County as well as [[Port Wentworth, Georgia|Port Wentworth]] and the northern suburbs of Savannah. The highway also goes through the neighboring rural communities of Okatie and Levy, as well as the Savannah National Wildlife Refuge. [[CSX Transportation]]'s [[Charleston Subdivision]] (also known as the [[Charleston and Savannah Railway|Charleston-Savannah Railway]]) currently operates both [[freight rail|freight]] trains and [[passenger rail|passenger]] trains (via [[Amtrak]]) along the lines, but do not stop at Hardeeville. Local public transportation and [[dial-a-ride]] service is provided by Palmetto Breeze, a regional transportation authority run by the Lowcountry Council of Governments, which serves as the regional [[Metropolitan Planning Organization]] (MPO). ===Utilities=== Since 2005, water and sewer services are provided by the regional [[Beaufort-Jasper Water and Sewer Authority]] (BJWSA), based in Okatie. South Carolina Electric and Gas Company (SCE&G) and Palmetto Electric Cooperative are the major suppliers of power to the city. Hargray provides telephone and broadband services. Republic Waste provides solid waste services.
