Since 2004, Charleston County Government, the City of Charleston, and SCDOT have worked together to improve safety and traffic flow on Maybank Highway. In September 2018 Phase 2 of the project was completed. This phase included continuing two lanes of Maybank Highway onto Johns Island from the Stono River Bridge to River Road and extending the additional westbound lane to the existing right turn lane on River Road. The project is currently in Phase 3. Phase 3 features the construction of a new road connecting Maybank Highway to Fenwick Hall Allee and River Road.
Charleston County Council approved $15,000,000 from the 2016 Transportation Sales Tax to fund the project.
