S-466 (E. Red Bay Road) Bridge over Turkey Creek Proposed Bridge Replacement Project - Sumter County

Meeting :

The South Carolina Department of Transportation (SCDOT) is holding a Public Information Meeting for the proposed replacement of the S-466 (E. Red Bay Road) Bridge over Turkey Creek. The meeting will be offered on Thursday, July 1, 2021, from 5:00 pm to 7:00 pm at Central Carolina Technical College, Building M400 Room 401 – Seminar Room, located at 506 N Guignard Dr, Sumter, SC 29150.

The meeting will be an open house-style meeting and will have displays and handouts for viewing.  Citizens will have the opportunity to speak with SCDOT representatives and to provide written comments regarding the project. Additionally, SCDOT wishes to gather information from the public or any interested organization on historic or cultural resources in the area.

For those that cannot attend in person, project information, including meeting displays and handouts, will be available on the project website at https://scdotgis.online/s466overturkey

Project Purpose:

The purpose of the project is to correct the structural deficiencies associated with the existing S-466 (Red Bay Road) Bridge over Turkey Creek to meet current design standards. In an effort to expedite the time frame of the project and reduce construction impacts at this site, this will require closing the bridge and detouring traffic. Proposed detour information can also be found on the project's website.

**Structurally deficient is a status used to describe a bridge that has one or more structural defects that require attention. This status does not mean the bridge is not currently safe for vehicle traffic.**.
