Pine Log road widening project begins on east side
The Pine Log Road widening and rerouting project has started on the citys east side. The two lane road will be expanded to four lanes with a center turn lane and raised to railroad level along US 78 over about two and a half years. The project ties to the proposed 118 bypass, though it is separate, and aims to reduce truck traffic on Richland Avenue. The current work runs from South Aiken Boulevard near Kennedy Middle School to the SC 4 and SC 302 intersection.
