NORTH CHARLESTON, S.C. (AP) - Plans are moving ahead on a new $250 million Interstate 26 interchange and road to serve a new container port in North Charleston.
The Post and Courier of Charleston reports (http://bit.ly/1Iv3GPT) that the new interchange will link the interstate with a port being built at the old Charleston Navy Base.
The state Department of Transportation has started the procurement process and is expected to take bids on the work next spring.
The interstate interchange and 1-mile port road will keep heavy truck traffic serving the port off local streets in North Charleston. Most of the road will be elevated.
