Project Description:

The South Carolina Department of Tranportation (SCDOT) proposes to improve traffic safety along a high-crash section of US 76/378 (Garners Ferry Road) in Richland County, between Horrell Hill Road and the Sumter County line.

The department has identified safety concerns along this stretch of Garner’s Ferry and while we have identified some potential solutions, we are seeking public input on these measures before moving towards design and construction. Also, we will be using public input as one element in prioritizing which improvements move forward to implementation.”

Proposed Improvements:

Potential safety improvement design concepts include the addition of concrete medians, dedicated left-turn lanes, right-in/right-out turns, and restricted crossing U-turns (RCUTs).

Purpose and Need:

The purpose of this project is to improve safety through engineering solutions identified to reduce the frequency and severity of crashes.

The need for the project was identified through traffic data collection and historic crash reporting.

While engineering will take time, we will continue to provide updates on the progress of the project via this project page.
