Didn't they already pull the project? And Rock Hill is moving forward with the interchange? Wow, never done business in SC but it sounds wild as hell lol. 

That’s not Rock Hill.  

I believe those are federal dollars that McMaster got for the interchange.  So that is everyone on this boards tax dollar going to work lol

It happened in Colorado. Brand new interchange between I-70 and CO58 to support a new Cabela's that never happened.

So much money wasted. Swept under the rug or was anyone tagged with that?

Yay! No idea this was a thing in this deal but can't say I am surprised. Good find.

Who paid? Probably the city of Wheat Ridge but I don't know for sure. I know the overall planned spend was $94M but some of it was ditched when Cabela's pulled out but most of the spend was the massive interchange and sweeping bridges that did get built. It was supposed to be a massive retail project. Once Cabela's balked that land sat empty for the better part of 20 years. They're building an huge apartment complex there now.

Unless there is still some backroom negotiating going on, I'd be pissed as hell to be a York county/Rock Hill taxpayer...

Out of respect for rock hill, we should lock this post.

Just began?!? Lol! They are already placing bridge girders across 77.  They didn’t just throw those on some dirt.
 

They have been working on this for months.

The entire project will resume and upon completion will be magnificent
