This project will provide funding for the widening of Lightwood Knot Road. Lightwood Knot Road is a County maintained roadway that begins at the intersection of Highway 417 and extends nearly 20,000 feet to the intersection of Reidville Road. The road is approximately 18 feet wide and is currently in poor condition. There have recently been several larger residential developments along Lightwood Knot with more anticipated in the future. This roadway is in the southwest planning corridor. This project would reclaim and widen the road to 24 feet, install new asphalt pavement and pavement markers, and improve the associated roadway's storm water conveyance system. 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. Engineering and design services, along with the associated right-of-way acquisition, are currently in process and are expected to continue throughout FY 2022/23. Additional funding is planned for FY 2023/24. Design team has not been identified per owner. *Project information has been obtained through a public capital improvement plan (CIP).
