Hitchcock Parkway bypass widening delayed despite traffic
The Hitchcock Parkway bypass from south Aiken to Highway 1 will not be widened soon despite heavy two lane congestion. Construction is planned around 2004 with an $8 million budget funded by federal dollars. ARTS governs funding and priorities, placing the widening behind other projects like the SC 118 connector near Rutland Drive and Knox Avenue in North Augusta. Public interest to ARTS and federal officials may accelerate action.
