State infrastructure bank revives I-526 project again
The Interstate 526 extension project is back on the table following the S.C. Transportation Infrastructure Bank’s 5-2 vote Tuesday to revive it yet again.
The vote at the SIB board meeting means the $420 million set aside more than a decade ago remains designated for the I-526 project, and Charleston County is still on the hook for coming up with the remaining funding needed to build onto the interstate. The county and the S.C. Department of Transportation will negotiate a new contract.
The bank board decides which infrastructure and highway projects should get funded in South Carolina.
