The South Carolina Department of Transportation (SCDOT) will hold a Public Information Meeting and is requesting public comments for two proposed bridge replacements in Anderson County, S-458 (Mayfield Heights Rd) over Cherokee Creek, and S-671 (Samuel Rd) over Corner Creek.
The meeting will be held on Thursday, May 27, 2021, from 5-7 PM at the Belton-Honea Path High School Auditorium at 11000 Belton-Honea Path Hwy, Honea Path, SC 29654. SCDOT staff will be available to discuss the concept design and project details, and members of the public will have an opportunity to provide written comments.
As a part of its 10-Year Plan that includes replacing deteriorating bridges, SCDOT proposes to replace the existing Mayfield Heights Rd and Samuel Rd bridge structures on their current alignments. Traffic will be detoured during construction. SCDOT estimates that construction could start during summer 2022 and take 12 months to complete for the Mayfield Heights Bridge and 9 months to complete for the Samuel Rd Bridge. The existing bridges are structurally deficient and load restricted. More information can be found on the project websites scdotgis.online/s671bridge and scdotgis.online/s458bridge.
Comments can be made at the public information meeting, on the project websites, by emailing SCDOT Project Manager Clint Scoville at ScovilleHC@scdot.org, or by mailing a letter to Clint Scoville at SCDOT, 955 Park Street, Columbia, SC 29201.
If you have limited internet access or have any questions about the project, please contact SCDOT Project Manager Clint Scoville at 803-737-2085 or at ScovilleHC@scdot.org to request additional information.
These projects are part of SCDOT's 10 Year Strategic Plan that is focused on replacing aging bridges, resurfacing deteriorating roadways, making rural roads safer, and improving key portions of interstates across South Carolina after more than 30 years of deferred maintenance due to lack of funding. SCDOT will replace or reinforce more than 465 structurally deficient bridges across the state by 2027.
