USC Aiken bridge funds denied by subcommittee
A transportation subcommittee denied allocating $30,000 in enhancement funds for landscaping around USC Aiken’s planned pedestrian bridge linking main campus to the Convocation Center over Robert M. Bell Parkway. Chancellor Tom Hallman urged a vote, citing a $1.3 million project with $500,000 pledged by the Aiken County Transportation Commission, while city officials warned of red tape and long delays. The LRTP update received unanimous support to proceed, with a public comment period through August 16 and projects totaling over $284 million across widening, realignment, and new facilities.
