The South Carolina Department of Transportation (SCDOT) has scheduled a public information meeting Tuesday, June 17, concerning the proposed replacements of US Route 701 bridges over the Great Pee Dee River, Pee Dee Overflow and Yauhannah Lake in Georgetown and Horry counties.

The meeting will be between 4 p.m. and 6 p.m. at the Mt. Tabor Baptist Church in Yauhannah Community, Georgetown County.  The church is located on US 701/Tabor Drive intersection, about three miles south of the bridge.  The meeting will have a drop-in type format with displays for viewing.  A formal presentation will not be given during this time.
