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.
