US-based contractor Lane has secured a US$152 million contract to design and build a highway system in South Carolina, with an interchange allowing access to a VW-owned automotive plant.
The project aims to support the development of Scout Motors� new manufacturing facility in Blythewood.
The project, for the South Carolina Department of Transportation (SCDOT), will also include the construction of four bridges, access ramps, and a new east-west connecting road that links the I-77 to US Route 21.
Part of US Route 21 will be diverted and relocated to allow for the crossing of the Norfolk Southern railway, which will serve the Scout Motors facility. A total of three miles (4.8 kilometres) of the I-77 will be expanded to three lanes.
Lane is owned by Italy-based Webuild. Webuild said that the deal takes the total of newly acquired and finalized contracts for Lane in 2024 to over �1 billion, while North America now accounts for 13% of the group’s total revenue, as of 30 June this year.
