The South Carolina Department of Transportation (SCDOT) will hold a Public Information Meeting and is requesting public comments for the proposed SC 412 (Rainey Road) culvert project at Big Generostee Creek Tributary in Anderson County.
The meeting will be held on Thursday, December 2, 2021, from 5-7 PM at the Starr Iva Middle School located at 1034 Rainey Road, Starr, SC 29684. 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 SC 412 (Rainey Road) bridge structure with a culvert on the same alignment. Traffic will be detoured during construction. SCDOT estimates that construction could start in early 2023 and take approximately 12 months to complete. The existing bridge is structurally deficient and load restricted. More information can be found on the project website www.scdotgis.online/sc412culvert.
Comments can be made at the public information meeting, on the project website, by emailing SCDOT Project Manager C.T. York at YorkCT@scdot.org, or by mailing a letter to C.T. York at SCDOT, 955 Park Street, P.O. Box 191, Columbia, SC 29201-3959.

This project is 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.
