Clogged and getting worse



Interstate 26 is by far our most important and heavily traveled roadway in the Charleston metropolitan area. On a typical workday, roughly 140,000 vehicles roll through its busiest stretches — 160 a minute during the morning rush. Most of the time, I-26 efficiently speeds motorists between downtown Charleston and Summerville in 20 to 25 minutes. But rush hour is a different story.
