What are they building between Liberty and George streets?

Nice avatar indeed. Did you celebrate Talk Like a Pirate Day on Tuesday?

Hey IRoam, nice avatar! I've only heard plans to extend the Glenn McConnell to Summerville, but actually veer left from the plantations that are nearby and intersect further down SC 165. To be even more ridiculous, planners have suggested that Glenn McConnell proceed north around Summerville and end at I-26! I guess that makes sense with the growth patterns, but I really think the Parkway should be extended further west and end at I-95 near Walterboro. Chas needs another link to I-95, especially for a hurricane evacuation, and this highway would be the most logical link. The highway could be named I-326 or I-726, much like Greenville's I-385.

Thanks guys No, I didn't really celebrate talk like a pirate day, unless of course indulging in some rum counts

I think they definitely need to make another loop off I-26. Starting around Wando High School, going up towards Goose Creek and Summerville, and coming back towards West Ashley, perhaps ending near the Red Top area. Making another connection to I-95 would be a godsend. They need to make I-26 at least three lanes all the way to 95, if not all the way to Columbia.

Sounds like you're talking about I-526.... I'm talking about Glen McConnell in West Ashley.... I've heard that they're going to extend it all the way out to Summerville.

As for 526, I hope they do take it out the James Island connector. Hopefully if they do it will alleviate the hellish intersection there at 17 and Folly Road or whatever that road is that goes out to James Island. I have to drive that just about every day. I hate that there's no turn-only lane so the right lane is always backed up for forever.

IMO, they should just make that right lane the turn lane and the left lane go straight since it all merges into one lane right before the Ashley River Bridge anway. Either that, or they need to make it two lanes all the way to the bridge. (Did that make sense? ) That merge is dangerous, I've almost wrecked there.

Does anybody know anything about Glenn McConnell (sp.?) Pkwy being extended? Is it even going to happen?
