Bridge Package 22 Project

planned

South Carolina will receive $23.5 million in federal funding to replace 18 aging bridges across nine counties through the U.S. Department of Transportation's Better Utilizing Investments to Leverage Development program. The project includes bridges in Berkeley, Colleton, Darlington, Dorchester, Florence, Georgetown, Horry, Marion, and Williamsburg counties. The bridges are part of SCDOT's Closed and Load Restricted Bridge Program and will be replaced and upgraded to current design standards. The project will be delivered through a design-build contract to accelerate construction and includes roadway improvements, roadside barriers, and accommodations for pedestrians and bicyclists. The new structures are designed to withstand extreme weather and have an expected service life of at least 75 years.
