The South Carolina Department of Transportation (SCDOT) proposes bridge repair, rehabilitation, and preservation services for the SC 18 bridge over Southern Railroad in Union County, SC.

The proposed improvements include repair, rehabilitation and preservation of the existing bridge over Southern Railroad. No detours are planned for this project as repairs will be completed using extended single-lane closures that will last for approximately 90 days.

The purpose of this project is to reduce the number of load restricted bridges by performing comprehensive and cost effective bridge repairs identified at SC 18 Bridge over Southern Railroad in Union County. These repairs are part of SCDOTs Statewide Closed and Load Restricted Bridge Repair Program. The proposed repairs will improve mobility in the region and extend the service life of the bridge.
