South Carolina Department of Transportation’s (SCDOT) Remount and Aviation Interchange Improvements Project is a part the department’s continuing efforts to improve our state’s major transportation corridors.
This three-year, $66 million project will create the following improvements:
- Reconstructed Aviation Avenue Interchange – The improved Aviation Avenue interchange will include a wider overpass and realigned ramps to improve traffic flow to and from I-26.
- Reconstructed Remount Road Interchange – The improved Remount Road interchange will include a wider overpass, a new ramp onto I-26 Westbound and a new ramp from I-26 Eastbound.
- Eight Traffic Lanes on Interstate 26 between I-526 and Ashley Phosphate Road- Most of the widening in this three mile stretch will occur by replacing the grass median and cable barrier between the east and westbound traffic with a concrete wall.
- Realignment of Fain Street alongside I-26.
