Ride 3 & Ride 4 updates: Fred Nash open; 22 extension narrowed to 14 preliminary alternatives
Summary
County staff reported progress on Ride 3 and Ride 4 projects: Fred Nash Boulevard opened to traffic in January 2026, sections of 501 and SC 9 are moving toward completion, and the US‑22 extension NEPA screening trimmed options to 14 preliminary alternatives ahead of tier‑2 analysis.
Anna Barnhill summarized the status of multiple road projects funded under the Ride program, saying Fred Nash Boulevard opened in January 2026 and that contractors are mobilizing on the 701 and 501 corridor projects. “Construction for Fred Nash and LaVar began in the spring of 2023, and it was fully open to traffic in January 2026,” Barnhill said.
Barnhill said the US‑22 extension has moved through a tier‑1 screening and is down to 14 preliminary alternatives; she said tier‑2 screening will incorporate public feedback, displacement effects and wildlife impacts before narrowing to the reasonable alternatives that will be reviewed in later public meetings.
