We thought we would share information on what you need to know about the Carolinas Crossroads Project. The Linda Hall Team consists of people who are residents in the area, and this is a big project that concerns all of us. As you know, we are on the road a lot when showing homes, listing homes, and researching new developments. We have to keep up with the latest traffic information, and this project is definitely of interest.
This is how Carolina Crossroads' website describes the project -
The Carolina Crossroads project is a $1.7 billion state infrastructure project that will provide a safer, more modern interchange design for the state's top interstate "pinch point," commonly known as "Malfunction Junction."
The goal of this project is to save the average commuter 112 hours each year via this upgrade. That certainly will be a welcomed change, but in that time, we will need to be aware of several factors of the project and the timeline of the project. Here's what we know so far -
Phases 1 is the Colonial Blvd work which the Secretary of Transportation signed in May 2021. The major construction is estimated to take three years to complete.
Phase 2 is the Broad River Road work, and that should begin in the Summer of 2022 with anticipated completion at the end of 2024. This phase is also estimated to take three years to complete.
Phase 3 is the System Interchange work and is expected to last 4 to 5 years.
Phase 4 is the Harbison Boulevard Interchange & Frontage Roads project, which will take three years to complete.
Phase 5 is the final phase, and that is the I-26 widening portion of the project and is expected to take 2 to 3 years to complete.
