Lol at the people who think the money will go to anywhere else in the area, it'll probably go to Greenville or Columbia.

Charleston will get its $117 million back. That should pay for the overpass at main rd and 17. It's a good deal considering that the money was actually just what we spent on local roads in the last referendum. It's not like we actually sent them cash.

Wrong, were do you think your fuel tax dollars go? Certainly they don't stay in local government coffers.

Infrastructure Bank board closes the door on I-526 extension



*Our efforts resulted in a positive outcome for our quality of life and our environment! We should all extend our heartfelt gratitude to the SC infrastructure bank for having the courage to protect our state from this wasteful and irresponsible project.
I bet you won't say that when you need an ambulance or fire truck at your home and grid lock prevents help from arriving.

It doesn't impact me so I won't comment, but hopefully they send some money over her for the 41 expansion.
The completion of Interstate 526 is not dead, but it has been dealt a setback. I hope the idea to complete it as a four-lane parkway with at-grade intersections is dead.

Charleston County and state entities need to get their heads out of their rear ends and come up with a proactive plan to complete it as an interstate highway using the funds that exist.

Which "conservationists" won? There are those who oppose protecting the environment and completing Interstate 526, then others who protect the environment and remain committed to completing Interstate 526.

The conservationists who are against irreparable harm to our islands and our community. Those who believe it was a colossal waste of taxpayer money.

A lot of taxpayers' money was spent on countless unnecessary studies when many have been done extensively. How did that work out?
