Columbia, S.C. (July 17, 2025) - The South Carolina Department of Transportation Commission approved updates to the bridge program, including directing an additional $200 million to bridges following the appropriation from the General Assembly. The 2025 list approved by Commission action today prioritizes bridge projects that SCDOT expects to begin in the coming years with current and future funding appropriations.
The South Carolina General Assembly allocated $200 million in additional one-time funding for bridges in South Carolina. The current program is $239 million, so the additional state funding increases the total program for bridge replacements and rehabilitations for the coming year to $439 million.
This funding will be used to advance the projects on the agency's prioritized list of projects. While the current program budget will not cover all of the projects on the new program map, SCDOT will continue to advance these projects in order of priority and as funding becomes available.
Following today's action from the Commission, SCDOT seeks public input to amend the Statewide Transportation Improvement Program (STIP) to include the additional bridge projects on interstate, primary and secondary routes in various counties. The program includes the preservation, repair and replacement of these bridges. Comments will be accepted through August 7, 2025.
