The South Carolina Department of Transportation seeks public comment on the action to amend the Statewide Transportation Improvement Program to include preliminary engineering, right of way, and construction phases of work for the federal 2024 Highway Safety Improvement Program totaling $62,100,000 for 32 intersection improvements in 18 counties. SCDOT will receive public comment for a 21-day period from September 19, 2024 through October 10, 2024.
Thirty-two intersections have been selected for improvement through the federal Highway Safety Improvement Program (HSIP). This program uses a data-driven strategic approach to identify locations throughout the state with high crash rates, or patterns, and implements safety enhancements through infrastructure-related improvements.
The HSIP intersection improvement process includes an engineering study that will be performed at each location to include an analysis of the crash data, an assessment of field conditions, and an evaluation of the effectiveness of all potential countermeasures to ensure maximum safety benefits are obtained for funds invested.
To assist those who do not have internet access, a printed copy of this press release and any supporting information is available for public review and comment at any of the South Carolina Department of Transportation District Offices and the South Carolina Council of Government Offices.
