The South Carolina Department of Transportation held a ceremony yesterday for expanded access to 1-77.
The SCDOT is introducing a new interchange, Exit 26, along the freeway with intentions to help traffic flow. The new traffic stream has been a product of the development of the Scout Motors Manufacturing facility in Blythewood. There are further plans in the future to add a connector road between Exit 26 and the US-21 with hopes of completion by Summer 2027.
