Midlands Branch Meeting
Carolina Crossroads Program Update - May 2022
The Carolina Crossroads Program is a ~$2 billion state infrastructure project that will provide a safer, more modern interchange design for the state's top interstate "pinch point," commonly known as "Malfunction Junction." The upgrade and modernization of the corridor is critical to the state’s economic vitality and will enhance the daily commute for thousands of South Carolinians. More than 134,000 vehicles travel through this area on a daily basis. The Carolina Crossroads Program includes 5 project phases, 14 widened interstate miles, 7 reconstructed interchanges, over 40 new bridges and 130 new lane miles. Phase 1 and Phase 2 construction is currently underway, with overall construction expected to go through 2029. This presentation will provide an overview and progress update.
