The project is located at the convergence of US 17, SC 61, SC 171, and SC 700 in the St. Andrews area of the City of Charleston. The primary purpose of this project is to ease congestion, enhance accessibility, and improve traffic flow at the junction of these heavily traveled urban arterial roadways.

This project, as with all of the initial bond projects, will undergo an extensive public involvement process with the goal of developing an improvement which improves the traffic congestion of the area while being sensitive to the concerns of area residents and businesses.

This public involvement process consists of a series of three public meetings. The goal of the first meeting, held on July 27th, was to solicit public input regarding what the public feels the problems are, what their concerns are, and what they feel may be possible solutions. Comments obtained at the first meeting were combined with results of traffic analysis and were used to develop several improvement concept alternatives which were presented at the second public meeting. The public had the opportunity to comment on the alternatives presented at the second meeting and identify what their preferred improvement alternative was. The preferred improvement was further refined based on citizen comments and presented at the third public meeting which was held Marrch 22, 2007.

The third public meeting was held March 22, 2007 at St. Andrews Elementary School and 67 citizens were in attendance. The modified Alternative C was presented.
