Well you should see the amount of levelling they've done for the plant... It's MASSIVE. I work about 2-½ miles from there so I see it frequently.

The purpose of the Scout Motors Drive Interchange Project is to serve the future Scout Motors Manufacturing facility and provide access for future economic development.

Secretary of Transportation Justin Powell said, "We are excited to begin the construction phase of this project that will be vital to continuing development in Blythewood and the surrounding areas. SCDOT is committed to keeping people and products flowing through our state and we are looking forward to doing that alongside Scout Motors and the community.

From Scout Motors LinkedIn:

More than just a road, this is the path forward.

Together, we’re laying the foundation for something bigger than any one project- because #ANewScoutEra starts with a strong community. The Scout Motors Drive Interchange on I-77 isn’t just about infrastructure – it's a testament to the partnerships we’re forging across South Carolina. From local and state leaders to workforce and education partners, we’re working hard to create new opportunities, drive innovation, and build a lasting impact.

By directing all employee and supplier traffic through this new interchange, we’ll ensure growth doesn’t come at the expense of those who already call this area home.

We’re committed for the long haul, and as we expand and grow, we’ll stay true to our roots - building vehicles with purpose and strengthening the community that makes it all possible.

Thank you to Governor McMaster, the South Carolina Department of Transportation, the South Carolina General Assembly, and Richland County for their continued support in driving this project and partnership forward.
