Highway 401 Pavement Improvement and Widening Project

planned

The project involves pavement improvement for the first roughly three miles of Highway 401 in Sumter, beginning at South Pike East and extending through Bell Road, near Crestwood High School and Chestnut Oaks Middle School. Additionally, the South Carolina Department of Transportation plans to widen approximately 4.32 miles of US 401 from Bell Road to the Lee County line by 2 to 4 feet on each side to add paved shoulders, improve safety, and provide additional space for drivers. The project also includes patching and resurfacing portions of the existing pavement.
