In September, SCDOT contractors completed a project at the intersection of Easler Highway, Holliman Road and Old Greeleyville Road. The goal of this project was to realign the intersection to help improve safety and implemented several other upgrades.

From timing construction work, like tree clearing and bridge demolition to help keep bats safe, to modifying culverts with habitats in mind, we're working to help South Carolina's roads and local wildlife thrive together! 🖤

We're paving in the Pee Dee! 🛣️ You’ll notice a smoother ride traveling down Antioch Rd in Hartsville. Over 3.5 miles of resurfacing work began in late August and was completed in early September. This project boasts a widened road and improved subgrade for added safety.

SCDOT is hard at work replacing the SC 9 bridge over Wildcat Creek in Lancaster County. The new bridge is being built alongside the current one so traffic can continue flowing smoothly throughout construction.

Once completed, the roadway will be realigned and traffic will shift to the new structure, which will feature a modern design, wider lanes, and improved sightlines for drivers. The old bridge will then be demolished. Construction is expected to be complete by late fall 2027. 🚧
