How do I get to Joint Base Charleston from Interstate 26?
Joint Base Charleston, SC is located about 10 miles northwest of the city of Charleston, S.C. JB CHS is between U.S. Interstate 26 and Dorchester Road (S. C. Highway 642). The main gate is located off Dorchester Road; however there is easy access from I-26 via West Aviation Avenue and we prefer you to use this route.
