DOT announces special bridge replacement program

South Carolina DOT plans to spend nearly $53 million to replace 90 bridges in 33 counties, and invites the public’s comments on which projects should be funded. Four Oconee County bridges are being considered. One of them, the S-13 Richland Road Bridge over Richland Creek, has received a #4 ranking among bridges within the 3rd Congressional District. Only load-restricted and closed bridges are being considered.
