The Boiling Springs Road project, also known as the S.C. Highway 9 project, is approximately half a mile long, beginning at Interstate 85 and ending at Rogers Commerce Boulevard. Proposed improvements include widening S.C. Highway 9 to add a third travel lane in each direction from I-85 to the Shoally Creek Road intersection.

Tentative project schedules for completion of the project will be discussed. Maps of the project study area will be available. S.C. DOT is urging property owners and business owners on or near the project to attend, according to the release.
