The Columbia Airport Expressway now bears the name of Congressman Joe Wilson (SC-02), honoring his long-standing commitment to South Carolina. Officials and community members gathered at Columbia Metropolitan Airport for the dedication ceremony, where South Carolina Attorney General Alan Wilson, Secretary of Transportation Justin Powell, U.S. Congressman Ralph Norman, and Wilson’s family and friends celebrated the occasion.
The South Carolina Department of Transportation (SCDOT) Commission approved the naming earlier this year in recognition of Wilson’s years of service to the state. “I am beyond grateful to SCDOT for naming Columbia Airport Expressway the Congressman Joe Wilson Expressway,” said Wilson. “I will always fight for the people of South Carolina and the United States.”
