🚧 Crews are working to mill and repave 9.5 miles of Macedonia Church Road in Newberry County.

Work is happening in sections, starting with 1.75 miles near Dreher Island Road. Right now, crews are milling away the old asphalt to prepare the roadbed for a smooth, new asphalt surface.

🦺 As crews work to give you a smoother ride, help give them a safe workplace by slowing down and paying attention as you make your way through the work zone.

Roundabouts are becoming more common across South Carolina—and for good reasons. These circular intersections are designed to increase safety and improve efficiency. By reducing vehicle speeds and minimizing the potential for severe crashes, roundabouts help make intersections safer for everyone while maintaining the flow of traffic.

When approaching and entering a roundabout, remember to: Slow down, watch for pedestrians and bicyclists, and yield to vehicles already in the roundabout.

Learn more about roundabouts and how they are making intersections safer here: https://highways.dot.gov/safety/proven-safety-countermeasures/roundabouts

👨‍🦽‍➡️🚶‍➡️SCDOT wants safe streets for everyone, and we want you to help make it happen! 🚗🚲

Right now, we’re taking a closer look at roadways in Aiken, Allendale, Bamberg, Barnwell, Calhoun, and Orangeburg counties.

Whether you walk, drive, or bike to work or school, you should feel safe throughout your entire trip.

Take our survey to make your voice heard and help us identify roadways in these areas that may need safety improvements. Your feedback can help shape safer roads for everyone!

We’re 90% of the way there on Rural Road Safety improvements along SC 121 in Saluda County! 🚧

This 14-mile project includes new paving and pavement markings, rumble strips, guardrails, and a slightly wider roadway designed to make this rural route safer for everyone who travels it.

All main line paving is complete, with the exception of driveways, intersections, and permanent pavement markings left to do.

While crews finish the work, please slow down, stay alert, and give them plenty of space to safely get the job done. 👷‍♀️

⚠️ Heads up, Lowcountry! ⚠️

New travel lanes in both directions of I-26 in Berkeley County are open to traffic! 👏

Between the exits onto SC 27 and Jedburg Road, travelers now have access to three lanes in either direction of I-26. This marks a major milestone in the I-26 corridor widening project for South Carolina.

All travel lanes are currently open. There will be occasional single-lane closures as final punch list items are completed on the new lanes. The project is on track to be fully completed before the end of October.

While you were sleeping, crews working on the I-77 Exit 26 Interchange Project were hard at work pouring the newest bridge deck. 🌙🏗️

The new bridge will carry US 21 over the CSX Railway, restoring traffic on US 21 while also allowing trains to access the new Scout Motors facility.

This is the second bridge built as part of the project, with two more to go!

A Roundabout project is wrapping up in Darlington! 🚗

SCDOT contractors are finishing construction at the roundabout on Old Florence & McIver Roads. Check out the progress made since we last checked in!

The new roundabout will help improve the safety of this intersection. It will also improve the ease of travel for the high volume of trucks the area sees.

Though the roundabout is open to traffic, finishing touches are being made and will be completed in October. Please be alert and slow down when driving through this new roundabout as crews finish up their work. 👷
