The Carolina Crossroads Project is in full swing. We have begun reconfiguring 14 miles of the I-20/26/126 corridor, working toward a redesigned corridor that places priority on your time and safety and creates enduring change for the midlands. Carolina Crossroads is one of the largest construction ventures in South Carolina's history, followed by the Ravenel Bridge, and will alleviate the most congested portion of the Midlands' interstate system.
In October of 2023 SCDOT announced that the Carolina Crossroads Project would be restructured to improve project delivery and accelerate the widening of I-20 in the Midlands. In February of 2024, it was announced that the upcoming phases of construction will advance the interstate widening projects on I-20 and the improvements to the I-126 and I-26 interchange while utility coordination and project development continues in the main interchange area. In the new phasing plan for Carolina Crossroads, Phase 3 has been divided into subphases - A, B, C, D, and E - and Phases 4 and 5 have been combined.
Procurement of Phase 3C will start this spring and the procurement of Phase 3B will start in the fall. Throughout the summer, SCDOT will refine details of the Project Re-phasing Plan, and this information will be announced as it becomes available. The momentum on the Carolina Crossroads Project will continue uninterrupted.
