30 mile I-73 section gets ok in South Carolina



by Steve Jurmu Owner Funinmb.com

 
There has been federal approval to begin construction on the 30 mile stretch of road between SC 22 and I-95. Now the SC DOT can begin buying land roughly 60 pieces that are in the path of I-73. The interstate will start north in Michigan in the city of Sault Ste. Marie and travel through Ohio, West Virginia, Virginia, and North Carolina. There are areas where the road has already been built or is in the process of being constructed in North Carolina, Virginia, and West Virginia. Ohio and Michigan have no currect progress. I myself can't wait for this interstate to be totally finished as I am from the Upper Peninsula of Michigan (Houghton County), it would make my travel by car that much easier and faster.

The Myrtle Beach area needs this route to be completed very fast as the city of Myrtle Beach and surrounding communities are growing very rapidly. With US 501 being the major route into Myrtle Beach it is very congested and sometimes takes hours to get into or out of the city.
