Dorchester County Plans Highway 17-A Expansion | Charleston News
Description
Dorchester County is moving forward with a major expansion of Highway 17-A along Boone Hill Road, adding lanes, upgrading intersections, and building bike and pedestrian paths to tackle rising congestion. With traffic expected to surge over 200% by 2050, the project—funded by local sales tax and federal grants—is designed to future-proof the area’s growth. Planning began in 2022, with design underway since 2024, and environmental reviews are a top priority. Residents are being invited to weigh in as the county seeks community input before breaking ground.
