South Carolina Receives Approval from FHWA to implement its Outdoor Advertising Nonconforming Sign Upgrade “Pilot” Project

The Federal Highway Administration (Washington Office of Real Estate Services) has given SCDOT the approval to move forward with implementing its pilot project to upgrade certain non-conforming signs and remove others. The 3 year pilot project will allow the upgrading of certain nonconforming signs along Interstate 26 and 95 in exchange for the permanent removal of others (on a ratio of 2 – 4 removal per 1 upgrade). The pilot is in reference to 23 CFR 750.707(d)(5) which pertains to maintenance and continuance of nonconforming signs.

Inquiries regarding the pilot project can be directed to:

Keith C. Melvin
Director of Outdoor Advertising
SC Department of Transportation
PO Box 191
Columbia, SC 29202
Phone: 803-737-1339
