Perhaps if they charge people to use the new road to get the money back?
Don't they have that big golf tournament over there?
Our state government is making noises about toll roads.

The plan is to build a "parkway" design (called Alternative G) for an
extension to 526 from the end at 17. Another 4-lane bridge would cross
over to Johns Island a bit north of the existing (new 4-lane) Stono
bridge, run sorta along where River Rd is now N/S of Maybank, then go
back over the Stono on another (new 4-lane) bridge a bit south of the
existing (new 4-lane) Stono bridge, thence through James Island County
Park and connect to the James Island connector, which backs up every
morning by having all the inbound traffic back up at a single-lane and
light. Oh, and it floods at high tides and storms. Alt G would be an
at-grade 35-45mph parkway with lights here and there. It would destroy
lots of marshland and Johns Island to developers (guess who supports
the road?). 16 lanes of bridges to/from this island, almost as many
as go into/from Manhattan. Think about that. $558M or $675M. Minimal
benefit on travel times. And SC is like the bottom of the list in
terms of education and health of its citizens. But Emperor Joe needs
his damn road to complete his destruction of the area.
