WWhen completed, the Interstate 26 project will greatly improve traffic flow through one of the worst bottlenecks in the Lowcountry. Here are the improvements which are part of this construction project:

Widen Interstate 26 from six to eight lanes.
Replace the cable barrier in the center of I-26 with a concrete wall.
Construct separate exit lanes, like at Ashley Phosphate Road, for the Aviation Avenue and Remount Road exits.
   - This will keep exit ramp traffic from slowing I-26 traffic.
Reconstruct the Aviation Avenue interchange
   - Replace the existing overpass with a wider overpass.
   - Realign the exit ramps to improve traffic flow to and from I-26.
Reconstruct the Remount Road interchange
  - Replace the existing overpass with a wider overpass.
  - Add an on-ramp onto I-26 Westbound
  - Add an off-ramp from I-26 Eastbound.
Realign Fain Street alongside Interstate 26
