The plan is to build a "parkway" design (called Alternative G) for an
extension to 526 from the end at 17. Another 4-lane bridge would cross
over to Johns Island a bit north of the existing (new 4-lane) Stono
bridge, run sorta along where River Rd is now N/S of Maybank, then go
back over the Stono on another (new 4-lane) bridge a bit south of the
existing (new 4-lane) Stono bridge, thence through James Island County
Park and connect to the James Island connector, which backs up every
morning by having all the inbound traffic back up at a single-lane and
light. Oh, and it floods at high tides and storms. Alt G would be an
at-grade 35-45mph parkway with lights here and there. It would destroy
lots of marshland and Johns Island to developers (guess who supports the
road?). 16 lanes of bridges to/from this island, almost as many as go
into/from Manhattan. Think about that. $558M or $675M. Minimal benefit
on travel times. And SC is like the bottom of the list in terms of
education and health of its citizens. But Emperor Joe needs his damn
road to complete his destruction of the area.

What's the deal with that project anyway? Personally, I never thought taking
17 to Main Rd was that big of a deal. From the looks of the SCDOT proposal,
it's gonna turn River Rd into a mess. What a shame.

No this is the Emperor Riley Memorial $558M(or maybe $675M, still trying to
figure that aspect out)-of-money-we-don't-have-for-<8-miles
Interstate 526 Extension Low-speed Parkway. But it is all related.
Tax-and-spend Democrats and Spend-and-tax Republicans are lining up to line
their pockets with taxpayer money.
Johnny Island might actually secede. We're working on that.

More fuss about the Johnny Island Thruway?
