How will the new road impact neighborhoods in its path?
SCDOT will develop the EIS, a process that will include the evaluation of alternatives and comparison of impacts on both the natural and human environment. All impacts to both the natural and human environment will be minimized to the extent possible. Because of the early stages of the project, specific community and neighborhood impacts have not been identified at this time. A detailed Community Impact Assessment will be conducted in relation to the reasonable alternatives that will be identified by the SCDOT project team. The results showing both the benefits and impacts to nearby neighborhoods and communities will be included in the EIS.
