Aiken draws interest in Whiskey to Silver Bluff connector
City manager Roger LeDuc says nearly 60 engineering firms have filed proposals to study a proposed roadway linking Whiskey to Silver Bluff. The six month study will pick a route, with hearings, while funding comes from planning grants and a 20 percent local match. Options include using Chukker Creek Road or Anderson Pond Road, and Hitchcock Parkway widening may be scaled back to fund the connector.
