Traffic congestion could increase 70 percent by 2030

By 2030, Charleston roads could be clogged like Atlanta unless the system is improved.

  • Congestion would have jumped by 70 percent by then.
  • South Carolina has the fourth highest traffic fatality rate in the country.
    • The death rate is five times higher on rural roads than other highways.
    • Twenty-eight percent of the state's roads are in poor or mediocre condition
    • 20 percent of its bridges are structurally deficient or functionally obsolete
The House will be considering a transportation bill later this year that will continue efforts to make improvements in these areas.
