CHARLESTON COUNTY, S.C. (WCSC) - Charleston County has revealed a revised plan to widen Highway 41, after receiving a lot of pushback on the original proposal.
The new proposal will still widen Highway 41 from the Wando River Bridge to the intersection of Highway 17 and 41, while minimizing the impacts to Mount Pleasantâs historic Phillips Community.
In August of 2020, officials recommended Alternative 1 from an original list of twelve proposals to widen Highway 41. The chosen alternative moved forward for public comment.
