South Carolina transportation officials proposed adding several turn lanes at key intersections along Silver Bluff Road to avoid widening from two to five lanes. The ARTS subcommittee unanimously approved the plan with provisions after weighing turn lanes against a four lane expansion. Local officials favored the cost and tree protection benefits of turn lanes over broader roadway widening.
