Details are to be released this week on the plan to widen parts of Clemson Road, one of the road improvement projects paid for by the Richland County penny sales tax for transportation.
Also this week, another project in Northeast Richland is wrapping up, while a third, in St. Andrews, is set to begin on Monday.

Construction at the intersection of Broad River Road and Rushmore Road in St. Andrews is scheduled to begin Monday and last at least through the end of July. Improvements at the intersection include a new right turn lane on Rushmore Road and replacing the existing traffic signal.
