Improvements on some 90 miles of interstate highways in South Carolina could move closer to fruition if the Transportation Infrastructure Bank accepts the recommendation of the S.C. Department of Transportation Commission.
The commission designated seven major interstate improvement projects to be funded with bond proceeds approved by the General Assembly in the 2013 session. The commission approved a resolution July 18th urging the Transportation Infrastructure Bank board to “fully utilize and adhere to the South Carolina Department of Transportation Commission’s recommendations” for projects to be financed.
