SCDOT: I-526 Lowcountry Corridor WEST
Charleston, SC
Project Description:
​
The purpose of the I-526 LCC WEST project is to increase capacity at the I-26/I-526 interchange and along the I-526 mainline, thereby relieving traffic congestion and improving operations at the I-26/I-526 interchange and along the I-526 mainline from Paul Cantrell Boulevard to Virginia Avenue in Charleston County South Carolina. SCDOT currently ranks the segment of I-526 between I-26 and Virginia Avenue as the most congested segment of interstate highway in the state. The remainder of the I-526 LCC West project, from I-26 to Paul Cantrell Boulevard ranks among the top ten of the state’s most congested corridors. Forecasts show that without improvements segments of the corridor will continue to be among the state’s most congested in 2040. Due to geometric deficiencies, the interchange of I-526 and I-26 is the major source of the congestion.
