The S.C. Department of Transportation plans to transform a section of North Buncombe Road into a five-lane roadway to relieve traffic congestion and prepare for future growth beginning in 2012.

The affected section of North Buncombe will be the portion where state highways 290 and 101 converge, a primarily two-lane stretch, which extends from Wade Hampton Boulevard northward to where Highway 101 branches off to the right. The road-widening project is expected to cost $3.9 million and will add an additional lane traveling in each direction, with a refuge lane to be placed in the middle.
