Hello folks! If you’ve been traveling lately around Spartanburg County, you must have noticed the signboards cautioning drivers about the closure of Fairforest Road. A portion of a bridge over Interstate 26 was removed after it was hit by a tractor-trailer a few months back. It’s now set for some much-needed mending. And that’s not all. Soon, five more bridges across the beautiful state of South Carolina are being geared up for repair.
This flurry of reconstruction comes as part of a larger commitment to road safety. The state transportation officials have announced plans to fix five bridges that currently have weight restrictions due to their waning condition. However, they need your valuable feedback. As participating citizens, let’s improve our surrounding infrastructure together!
The repair work is speculated to start sometime early in 2025, although no concrete dates have been released. And keep in mind, these projects are over and above the 109 projects that the S.C. Department of Transportation has already listed in the region.
Public input is very much invited and appreciated. To share your thoughts about any of these projects, you can call, email, or even write a letter. There are two web portals too through which you can drop your comments. Just make sure you do it before October 9!
Apart from these projects, there are two more upcoming informational meetings about proposed changes to U.S. Highway 178 and repairs to the load-restricted bridge along S.C. 146 over the Enoree River. So, mark your calendars and make your voices heard!
It’s a great opportunity for all of us to contribute to our community’s safety and comfort. Let’s put our heads together and make South Carolina roads better, one bridge at a time!
