15th Street Widening & Access Management Project
Washington, Beaufort County
STIP Project No. U-5860
15th Street in Washington, Beaufort County is currently a four-lane undivided roadway from US 17 Business (Carolina Avenue) to Brown Street, and a four-lane with a two-way left-turn lane (TWLTL) roadway from Brown Street to US 264 (John Small Avenue). The route currently has a dangerously high crash rate - well over the statewide average.
State Transportation Improvement Program (STIP) Project No. U-5860 will significantly improve the safety and mobility of 15th Street by upgrading the corridor to a four-lane raised median-divided roadway with breaks for left turns, a 10-foot multi-use path along the south (from Carolina Avenue to Brown Street), and a 5-foot sidewalk along the north (from Carolina Avenue to Brown Street).
