Great news today!
Today the SC Infrastructure Bank awarded Dorchester County $19M to address the following road improvements:
- SC Highway 165 from Carolinian Drive (Legend Oaks) to Ashley Ridge High School - The road improvement
will continue the 5 lane section from Bacon's Bridge Road Phase 1 project that will start this summer out to ARHS.
HUGE Safety win for the community
- Old Orangeburg Road Intersection Improvements - Funds to improve intersections with traffic signals and turning lanes
- Right of Way (ROW) Aquisition funds for US 78 Phase 3 (Summerville to Jedburg)
- Total awarded $19M. There has been a focused effort this year to find a solution to fixing the road to ARHS by the County
and DD2 and it looks like we have one. With collaboration from DCTA, and support from the State Delegation we were able to
secure these desperately needed and deserved funds.
More details and timeframe to follow.
