Aiken bypass road on Hwy 118 opens after delay
The 2.4 mile bypass around Aiken on S C 118 opened with traffic after five months of delay. Contractor Cherokee Construction and project superintendent John Harmon oversaw the opening amid remaining cleanup. The $6 million project began in June 2001 and faced weather delays pushing completion past the October 2002 target. The project is 45 mph on the divided four lane and 50 mph on the east two lane section, with potential future widening to four lanes. The South Carolina DOT reviews delay penalties while paving on Beaufort Street proceeds and final work continues.
