CHARLESTON, S.C. (WCSC) - The South Carolina Department of Transportation is starting a new 2021-2022 paving program, but they say it will require drivers to pay two more cents per gallon at the pump.
SCDOT officials say the project will result in nearly 1,000 more miles of the state’s roads being rehabilitated and resurfaced during the coming two years.
The Transportation Commission approved the plan during its May 20 meeting, the SCDOT says.
The paving program will be funded by an estimated $642 million of revenues from the state gas tax, which officials say will increase an additional two cents effective Thursday.

SCDOT will widen the roadway from two to four lanes and make other improvements to enhance safety
February 22, 2021 / 2 minute read
The South Carolina DOT (SCDOT) will begin construction this week to widen nearly 4.2 miles of U.S. 17 from the Georgia border to the intersection of SC 315 near Hardeeville, South Carolina in Jasper County.
SCDOT will widen the roadway from two to four lanes and make other improvements to enhance its safety and accommodate increasing traffic associated with residential and economic growth in the region.
The $41.9 million road widening project includes a divided grass median between the new four lanes, wider shoulders, and safety rumble strips. SCDOT will also install bike lanes and intersection improvements, including the installation of new traffic signaling at the SC 315 and U.S. 17 intersection. A second phase of the project is being designed by Georgia DOT to construct a second bridge over Back River near the Savannah River.
