US EditionSouth Carolina lawmakers want I-73 named for Donald Trump
The bill honors Trump for securing a key permit and aims to boost evacuation and economic growth, with Horry County lacking interstate access until I-73 completion.
- On Tuesday, Rep. Heather Ammons Crawford introduced a bill to name proposed Interstate 73 the President Donald J. Trump Highway; it was referred to the committee on invitations and memorial resolutions.
- Crawford argued the highway name recognizes Trump's role obtaining the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers permit that made I-73 shovel-ready during Trump's first administration.
- A release from Crawford's office said the highway would boost evacuation capacity and regional growth, serving Horry County and the Grand Strand to the Pee Dee corridor as a jobs and opportunity corridor.
- Funding for I-73 was excluded from Gov. Henry McMaster's executive budgets in 2024, 2025 and 2026 despite earlier $300 million requests, while Horry County voters approved RIDE IV in November 2024, but the Horry County Council rejected a 2021 funding plan.
- Naming a not-yet-completed interstate after a living former president draws national attention, and other South Carolina lawmakers issued comments on the proposed legislation naming I-73.
