Two-county primary highway improvement project

The South Carolina Transportation Infrastructure Bank is backing a $44.7 million dollar grant for the widening of SC 183 from Pickens County to Greenville County.  SC 183 widening would stretch from SC 135 in Pickens County to U-S 25 in Greenville County.  A letter last week from the Infrastructure Bank to Tony Cox, chairman of the DOT Commission, states the Bank Board October 17 approved financial assistance in the form of a grant to Pickens County, subject to certain conditions such as the project receiving at least $10 million in funds from a General Assembly appropriation.
