Last week, state and local officials gathered at the Hardeeville Welcome Center near the Georgia border to celebrate the ground breaking of the South Carolina Department of Transportation (SCDOT)’s I-95 widening project. The record $825 million project will widen I-95 from U.S. Highway 278 to the Savannah River, which is about 10 total miles, from four lanes to six, and improve existing interchanges and bridges to fit modern standards. Currently, only Florence, South Carolina has a portion of I-95 that is six lanes wide.
The project is expected to be completed in 2030. More information on the project can be found here.
