I-526 Lowcountry Corridor

I-526 Lowcountry Corridor The 526 Lowcountry Corridor Project will improve mobility and safety along one of the more congested corridors in our state.

NOTE: All comments and messages posted on or received through social media will not be considered “formal” comments for the project record. To provide comments for the official public record, visit the project website at 526LowcountryCorridor.com. The 526 Lowcountry Corridor connects port terminals to distribution centers, enhances local and statewide commerce and industry, and provides community

connections for workforce mobility. A virtual lifeline, I-526 also includes three major river crossings to facilitate hurricane evacuation throughout the region. In cooperation with the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA), SCDOT will focus on a critical piece of the I-526 Corridor, extending from Rivers Avenue to Paul Cantrell Boulevard. The community is encouraged to participate in a process prescribed by the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) to help produce a vision for this Lowcountry gateway that reflects the needs of the region.

NHTSA reports that cell phone use is the most common form of distracted driving—and in South Carolina, it’s against the law to hold an electronic mobile device while driving.

If staying off your phone is a challenge, try activating your device’s “Do Not Disturb” setting or placing your device in the vehicle glove box or back seat until you arrive at your destination.
