SCDOT Accepts Public Comments on I-526 Extension

Support the New Way to Work Alternative Click here to send your comments today!Charleston County plans to spend more than $420 million to extend I-526 through Johns Island to James Island. The extension of I-526 has been shown by regional studies not to solve many of our worst traffic problems, such as congestion on Savannah Highway and Folly Road. At the same time, it will increase sprawl, destroy wetlands, lower water quality, and potentially impact James Island County Park. Learn more about the vision and the traffic solutions behind The New Way To Work Alternative at www.newwaytowork.com.
