Traffic Relief Is A Step Closer For South Carolina Commuters
The nightmare interchange at I-77 and Carowinds Boulevard is one step closer to expansion thanks to a recent decision by South Carolina officials.
According to the Charlotte Observer, the South Carolina Infrastructure Bank has given the green light to $64 million for improvements to the interchange near the NC/SC state line. The area is frequently congested, especially during rush-hour commutes.
Transportation planners aren’t sure just how the interchange will be upgraded, but having the funding approved clears a major hurdle.
The Rock Hill-Fort Mill Area Transportation Study submitted the request for interchange upgrades back in 2016.
