TO REQUEST APPROPRIATE FEDERAL AND STATE HIGHWAY OFFICIALS TO DESIGNATE CERTAIN HIGHWAYS IN SOUTH CAROLINA AS PART OF NEW INTERSTATE HIGHWAYS WHICH THE CONGRESS HAS AUTHORIZED AND WHICH ARE SCHEDULED TO COME WITHIN THE BOUNDARIES OF SOUTH CAROLINA.
Whereas, the United States Congress in amendments to the Intermodal Surface Transportation Efficiency Act of 1991 has authorized several new interstate highways to be part of the interstate highway system of the United States; and
Whereas, two of these new interstate highways, I-73 and I-74, are scheduled to come within the boundaries of our State in the coastal areas of South Carolina in specified locations; and
Whereas, several present highways in South Carolina are in these locations and are suitable for designation as part of these new interstate highways. Now, therefore,
Be it resolved by the Senate, the House of Representatives concurring:
That the General Assembly hereby requests appropriate federal and state highway officials to designate the highways referenced below as part of the new interstate highway system as follows:
(1) Highway 22, the Conway Bypass, known as the Veterans Highway, as part of new Interstate Highway 73 (I-73);
(2) Carolina Bays Parkway, known as the John B. Singleton Parkway, as part of new Interstate Highway 74 (I-74);
(3) the North Myrtle Beach Connector as Interstate Highway I-174.
Be it further resolved that a copy of this resolution be forwarded to the federal highway administration and the South Carolina Department of Transportation.
