Corridor study - bluffton parkway US 278 to SC 170

The South Carolina Department of Transportation (SCDOT) received a $200,000 Formula Grant from the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) under the Highway Planning and Construction program (CFDA 20.205), awarded on June 23, 2025. This grant funds a corridor and access management study for the Bluffton Parkway, specifically evaluating the transportation corridor from US 278 bridges on Hilton Head Island to SC 170 in South Carolina. The study will assess corridor functionality, access management strategies, and potential improvements to support transportation infrastructure planning and decision-making for this regional corridor.

This planning-level project represents a typical application of CFDA 20.205 funds, which support comprehensive transportation infrastructure development through analysis and planning activities. The study will provide foundational analysis to inform future infrastructure improvements and land access coordination along the identified corridor segment, contributing to SCDOT's broader transportation planning and project prioritization processes in the Lowcountry region.
