SCDOT and partners are making steady progress on the SC 773 bridge over I-26 in Newberry County. Crews recently began raising the bridge spans and installing structural components as work continues on the deck.

Paving around the approaches is set to begin in the coming weeks. The project is expected to wrap up later this summer.

Paving season continues here at SCDOT! Crews are working to improve routes statewide, including this operation pictured here on Sweetwater Road in Edgefield County that has been taking place this month.

Similar work continues daily in other areas. Be patient and follow flagger directions as we improve the routes in your communities.

Earlier this month, SCDOT and the South Carolina Department of Public Safety, alongside local and state partners, conducted a full-scale lane reversal drill.

This annual drill is critical to test evacuation routes covering all major coastal areas. It's also a reminder that now is the time to get prepared for hurricane season:
✅ Know your evacuation zone
✅ Review your hurricane plan
✅ Be hurricane ready

Stay ahead of the storm! Visit hurricane.sc, download the 511 SC App, and follow SCDOT on social media for the latest storm updates and resources.

SCDOT has completed major reconstruction on a four-mile stretch of SC 462 (Lowcountry Drive), from just south of Old House Road to south of Three Mile Road. The project improved pavement conditions, widened asphalt shoulders, and strengthened the road to support heavier truck traffic.

The road is now open, with final touches like rumble strips and pavement markings to be completed in the coming weeks.

Yesterday, SCDOT celebrated the ribbon cutting for the newly completed US 76 bridge over the Chauga River in Oconee County, which is now officially open to traffic!

Damaged during Hurricane Helene in 2024, this critical upstate connection was quickly prioritized for replacement. Construction began in January 2025, and in just under nine months since the hurricane, the bridge is back and better than ever.

Thank you to our federal, state, and local partners for making this rapid rebuild possible, and to the people of Oconee County for your patience and resilience throughout the process.

✅ I-20 Reopened in Aiken County ✅

SCDOT is proud to report that both directions of I-20 are now OPEN to traffic at mile marker 13 in Aiken County!

After a major emergency response effort, including bridge demolition, cleanup, paving and more, crews have worked around the clock to safely reopen the interstate within 36 hours from impact.

Thank you to our partners South Carolina Highway Patrol, Aiken County Sheriff's Office, GVW Fire Department, contractors United Infrastructure Group and Satterfield Construction Company, and the public for your patience and support during this emergency response!

🚧 UPDATE: I-20 Bridge Aiken County 🚧

Overnight, contractors successfully demolished and removed the bridge structure damaged in yesterday's tanker crash and fire. The structure was removed less than 24 hours after the crash occurred.

With the roadway cleared, crews will begin to mill and repave the damaged sections of I-20, as well as replace the guardrails.

We’re working as quickly and safely as possible to reopen the interstate. Thank you for your continued patience and support!

🚧 Traffic Alert: I-20 detoured near Aiken County until early next week 🚧

Following a strike by a tractor-trailer, the overpass bridge on Old Vaucluse Road is damaged beyond repair, requiring demolition and removal.

SCDOT is rapidly mobilizing contractors to demolish the bridge and remove it from the interstate. Our partners in law enforcement are working alongside us, helping keep traffic moving along the detour routes.

If you can, avoid the area. If you need to travel in this area, drive with caution, plan for delays and follow the detour signs.

Columbia has another new Diverging Diamond Interchange! This new style of interchange has been put in place along Broad River Road as a part of the SCDOT Carolina Crossroads Project.

The new interchange will reduce traffic wait times and help with safety. Although you can drive through the new interchange, crews will still be out in the area installing some finishing touches. The easiest way to learn the interchange is to practice. Drive through slowly, follow the lines, and watch the traffic signals.

Hardworking SCDOT vegetation crews were recently on Smiths Crossing Road in Jasper County, using ditch mowers to keep our roadsides safe and functional!

✅ Cutting grass low so ditches are clearly visible
✅ Trimming back overhanging limbs for driver safety
✅ Ensuring water flows freely to prevent flooding

Please slow down and give work crews plenty of space as they work to keep Jasper County roads safe and maintained.
