US 17 ACE Basin Parkway - Segment 2A

Thanks to cooperation among local, state, and federal agencies, an approximately 8-mile stretch of US 17 will be widened from Gardens Corner in Beaufort County over the Combahee River to the four-lane roadway at Lightsey Plantation in Colleton County. Completion of this segment will improve the safety of this important highway, while preserving the natural, pristine beauty of South Carolina’s valuable estuary where the Ashepoo, Combahee, and Edisto Rivers converge.

Completion of Segment 1, between Gardens Corner and the Combahee River, is anticipated for Spring 2010. The design/build contract cost is $80 million.

Completion of Segment 2A, between the Combahee River and the four-lane roadway at Lightsey Plantation, is anticipated for the Fall of 2010. The design/build contract cost for this segment is $20.4 million.
