A public meeting on four Fort Mill area intersection improvements is set.
Another public meeting on another road project aimed at traffic relief in the Fort Mill and Tega Cay areas is coming.
The York County engineering department will host a meeting at 6:30 p.m. Feb. 20 at the Baxter Close YMCA. It involves four intersection improvements at Sutton, New Gray Rock, Harris and Sam Smith roads.
Pennies for Progress will add turn lanes at New Gray Rock and a cul-de-sac at Sam Smith. A presentation and project displays will be available for viewing at the meeting. The public can ask project leaders questions, too.
The Pennies website shows the turn lane projects at $3 million. They’re near prior, completed Pennies work to resurface New Gray Rock and Harris.
Pennies is a cent sales tax created by York County voters. A referendum every seven years asks those voters if the county should charge the tax to fund road work. The most recent vote passed in 2017.
The public meeting comes less than a month after a public event to talk I-77 and S.C. 160. The South Carolina Department of Transportation will configure that interchange, with construction still two years out and completion two years after that.
