Scope of Work

The project consists of all work necessary to complete the design and reconstruction of the system-to-system interchange at I-26 and I-95 in Orangeburg and Dorchester Counties. The project will maintain existing I-26 and I-95 thru-lanes in their current location and provide clearances for future lanes towards the inside of each interstate mainline. Work will include design and construction of new bridges on I-95 over I-26 and related roadway approaches along I-95, design and construction of interchange ramps, and demolition of the existing bridges on I-95. The work also includes replacement of the S-1302 overpass bridge over I-26 and associated roadway approaches. The purpose of the project is to address traffic deficiencies at the interchange, to bring the facility up to current standards and to accommodate future lanes in each direction along both interstate mainlines.

Project Highlights

• Will reduce vehicle weaving movements to help prevent associated congestion and crashes
• Will accommodate current and projected traffic volumes
• Will accommodate future third and fourth through-lanes in each direction along I-26 and I-95
• Will minimize impacts to the traveling public as possible during construction
