Lightwood Knot Road Intersection Improvement - CP30002522 - County of Spartanburg

This project will provide for the improvement of the intersection of Lightwood Knot Road and Reidville Sharon Road in the Reidville Community. Lightwood Knot Road serves as a busy cut through connecting three SC primary roads. Traffic from SC-101 turns onto a short section of South Hammett Road (which ties directly into Lightwood Knot Road as they intersect and cross SC 296) and then connects to SC-417. This road will continue to see increased traffic. A roundabout is the initial proposed solution, which would improve traffic safety for this intersection. This improvement is part of a multi-project plan to improve overall traffic flow and safety on Lightwood Knot Road. Future funding for this project will be from General obligation bond proceeds. This project directly supports Council's strategic vision by being a core component of the County's infrastructure plan. The project also improves services provided to citizens by upgrading a roadway in a highly traveled corridor of the County. As of December 19, 2023, this project is included in the Spartanburg County 2024-2028 Capital Improvement Program (CIP). This is an ongoing project. Per owner, engineering and design services, along with the associated right-of-way acquisition, are currently in process. Owner does not wish to disclose design team information. Construction will begin when the ROW is secure and utilities are moved, most likely in late 2026. *Project information has been obtained through a public capital improvement plan (CIP). A CIP is a financial schedule for short- and long-range projects which is updated regularly. Information listed in the CIP often evolves based on funding availability and the project details, including timeline and value, are subject to change. The content management team will continue to pursue additional details as they become available.
