SCDOT completes first year of ten-year roads project
SCDOT is nearing completion of Year #1 for the 10-Year Plan to Rebuild SC’s Roads and Bridges. The target is to make Rural Road Safety improvements on 100 miles per year for each of the ten years.
Secretary Hall is pleased to announce that SCDOT has exceeded that goal by putting 187 miles of Safety Projects under contract in the first year, including safety features added to resurfacing projects. SCDOT has committed $50 million in annual funding in the 10-Year Plan to address high-crash rural corridors.
The safety improvements planned for these corridors will include wider, paved shoulders, wider and brighter pavement markings, rumble stripes along edge lines and center lines, brighter roadway signs, reflective sign post panels, beveled driveway culverts, wider clear zones and additional guardrail.
