The Lexington County Public Works & Solid Waste Management Committee reported that the county received a $1,000,000 legislative earmark to support an interchange justification and feasibility study at Cox Ferry Road (S‑278) and I‑20. The committee said the project was awarded to engineering firm Mead & Hunt after a qualifications-based selection process and that the budget amendment authorizing the work was previously approved. The committee recommended council approval of an intergovernmental agreement for the project, noting an updated MOU has no reimbursement clause, and the council approved the recommendation.
A committee representative summarized the scope as an evaluation of the feasibility of designing and constructing a new interchange on I‑20 near the existing overpass. The committee emphasized the updated MOU removes a reimbursement clause that had been in earlier drafts. With council approval, staff will proceed under the awarded contract to Mead & Hunt to advance the feasibility work.
