Project Status:

  • Temporary Construction Permission activities began on February 15, 2026, covering a total of 17 tracts. To date, permissions have been successfully secured for 8 tracts. Parcel 6 presented a drainage-related issue, which is currently being addressed by incorporating a drainage swale into the project plans. For the remaining 8 tracts with no response from property owners, the design team is evaluating minor grade adjustments to remain within the existing right-of-way, which may eliminate the need for temporary construction permissions. In addition, the project includes three (3) permanent drainage easements to modify the drainage system and avoid the need for permanent maintenance easements. As part of this effort, the feasibility of relocating the storm drain pipes closer to the existing right-of-way is being evaluated. The proposed concept includes locating the headwall at the edge of the sidewalk, connected to the main pipe, with short perpendicular pipe runs extending to the catch basins. The updated plan was submitted to SCDOT on May 26, 2026, for review. The next step in the process is to proceed with the pre-bid review.
