Construction Phasing
The South Carolina Department of Transportation (SCDOT) is advancing the Carolina Crossroads I-20/26/126 Corridor Improvement Project utilizing a phased project approach. The project will be divided into five separate phases of construction based on the Selected Alternative that was identified during the NEPA process and presented in the final Environmental Impact Statement/Record of Decision in 2019.

Construction of Phases 1 and 2 will begin in 2021, and all Phases are expected to be completed by 2029.
PROJECT PHASING FAQS
What is the timeline for construction?
Procurement of Phases 1 and 2 began in April and July of 2020, respectively, with construction of Phases 1 and 2 starting in 2021. The anticipated construction completion date is 2029 for all phases. The phases are shown in the Phased Construction Map & Schedule graphic above.
Why is the project divided into five phases?
SCDOT originally advertised Carolina Crossroads as a single project and only received one proposal, which may not have resulted in a competitively priced project. The new plan divides the project into five phases, which supports competitive contractor procurement and provides the best value to the state of South Carolina. Individual phases are being timed strategically to maximize incremental operational improvements in the corridor.
Will construction delay my commute?
As the plan for each phase of construction is developed, SCDOT will provide traffic impacts and detour updates for your travel and commute routes.
