BLYTHEWOOD ROAD IMPROVEMENT PROJECT UPDATES

There are several road projects for our area in the planning stages. 

For the Blythewood Road widening project (I-77 to Syrup Mill Road), residents and motorists are invited to a public “drop-in” meeting on Thursday, October 20, from 5 to 7 PM in the Muller Road Middle School gymnasium. 

Project renderings will be on display, and traffic engineers will answer questions. 

Also, Robert Dickinson, an SCDOT administrator, presented some updates on other Blythewood area road projects to the Blythewood Rotary Club on September 22. 

Click here for a summary of those project updates, and then click here to view the COATS Long Range Transportation Plan that is referenced in Mr. Dickinson’s comments.
