Today we’re celebrating the 2024 SCDOT LEAD class members, who wrapped up their year-long leader development course yesterday. Throughout the year, class members have gained hands-on experience and exposure to all aspects of SCDOT operations, completed a challenging and worthwhile class project, and formed strong peer relationships. At their graduation, Secretary of Transportation Powell encouraged the class to maintain those relationships and to remain true to themselves as they move forward on their leadership journeys. Congratulations, LEAD Class of 2024! We look forward to your continued growth as leaders at SCDOT.

As a part of maintaining and updating our state's interstate highway system, SCDOT performs cross slope correction during interstate resurfacing projects. Every stretch of interstate highway has a "cross slope," a term for the angle across the width of the road. The main function of a cross slope is to prevent water from standing on the road. This may require crews to work in the same area multiple times, adding or removing asphalt, and making sure the cross slope is just right.

Here’s a look at the newly opened westbound ramp on Interstate 26 at Exit 119. A new eastbound ramp also opened today at this interchange, which connects I-26 with US 21/176 near the border of Lexington and Calhoun counties. Construction of these new ramps is a part of the I-26 at US 21 Interchange Improvement Project, which is modernizing the interchange, supporting the efficient movement of freight and enhancing the flow of traffic.

SCDOT recently completed a roadway safety project on SC 245 (Leagan Drive/Moss Crossing) in Cherokee County. This 2.18 mile traffic safety project was designed to help prevent roadway departures, and project elements included a high friction surface treatment, centerline rumble strips, brighter pavement markings, and a freshly paved surface.

Construction to widen and improve Interstate 26 is underway in Calhoun and Lexington counties. Some of the work happening in the current phase of the project includes demolition and construction of five overpass bridges, earthwork to support two interchange improvements, and upcoming work in the median.

SCDOT has been awarded $175 million by the Federal Highway Administration to replace four bridges on Interstate 95 over Lake Marion. The grant will allow the four bridges, originally constructed in 1968, with narrow shoulders and roadway approaches, to be rebuilt into one bridge with two 12-foot travel lanes in both the southbound and northbound direction. The project would provide a barrier-separated bicycle and pedestrian path. The project will also provide space for a potential future additional travel lane in each direction with a 10-foot minimum inside shoulder and a 12-foot outside shoulder in each direction.
