PURPOSE AND NEED

Need for the Project

The proposed project is needed to address the lack of network connectivity between I-20 and the western portion of the Town of Lexington (Town) and Lexington County (County) to accommodate traffic from current and planned growth.

Project Purpose

The purpose of this project is to improve the system linkage of I-20 to the western portion of the Town and County to alleviate existing and forecasted congestion resulting from development and intensive zoning in the project vicinity.
