North Main project to be completed next Spring

Street Squad received an update from SCDOT and the Richland Penny tax on the intersection's construction.

COLUMBIA, S.C. — SCDOT says a popular Richland County intersection is expected to be under construction for another year.

Kim Grant reached out to Street Squad asking for an update on the construction at the intersection of North Main Street and Sunset Boulevard.

She tells News19 she has seen the area dug up and re-paved for two years. She was also concerned about the amount of metal plates lining the road.

SCDOT's Derek Frick says the project is set to be completed in Spring 2020.

The project is a part of the Richland Penny tax program.
