Re: Locklair Road
I looked at the 1966 and the 1983 images using the the side-by-side comparison feature at the Aerial Viewer site.
What we can learn from this:
1. Locklair went in a straight line across the route of I-95. It looks like the original road was still intact in 66, but of course would be diverted soon after. The diversion route can be seen in 66, but it looks like it was not properly built up yet.
2. The county road that Locklair meets at its south end (or west end before its diversion south) crossed I-95 at ground level in 66. A proper overpass was constructed by 83. We need to find out when that overpass was completed and determine if the county road's intersection with 95 ever allowed vehicles to turn onto the interstate or not. I emailed SC DOT about historical highway maps from the 70s. Hopefully they'll get back to me.
