Project #8    

Lafayette Drive / Hwy 378 Interchange Improvements

The intersection at US 15N (Lafayette Dr) and the US76/378 Bypass (near McLaughlin Ford) is one of Sumter's most congested and frustrating intersections. Here, North Main Street, Lafayette Boulevard, the 378 Bypass, and both North and South Pike come together making navigation through the intersection both tedious and dangerous. This proposal centers around fully re-engineering this area with and interchange configuration for easy access and reduced traffic congestion.

More than 36,000 vehicles per day go through these intersections, which become extremely congested in peak hours.
