At the 24 September meeting of the Charleston County Finance Committee approval was given to begin negotiations of termination of a contract with South Carolina Department of Transportation (SCDOT) for work relating to the proposed “superstreet” renovation of the intersection of US 17 and Main Road. Termination of the SCDOT contract is expected to free-up $1.5 millions that would then be applied to work relating to the proposed separated grade renovation (so-called “flyover”). During discussion of the motion for contract termination, it was noted that the Charleston County Legislative Delegation Roads and Bridges Committee expressed support for the flyover at a meeting 22 September.
