The Berlin G Meyers Parkway in Summerville, SC was recently approved for federal funds to complete the extension of the highly trafficked road. The project initially began in 2001 and was designed to relieve the congestion from Summerville's Main St, Hwy 17A. The extension will add 2.5 miles to the parkway and hook back with U.S. Highway 17A southwest of Orangburg Rd.
The federal money for the project's completion comes as 14.6 million dollar federal stimulus windfall into Dorchester County. This will be combined with the one cent sales tax passed by county citizens in 2004. The total cost will be 52 million dollars for the extension.
County Councilmen Larry Haggart stated that right of way issues have been resolved and now is only waiting for the Army Corp of Engineers to sign off on the wetland permit. Haggart stated that he does not foresee any problems getting the permit and also stated that he expects construction to begin in the next ninety days.
