The South Carolina Department ofTransportation (SCDOT) proposes bridge replacement of the SC 215 (Monticello Road) bridge over Big Cedar Creek in Richland County, SC. Specifically, the bridge is situated along the portion of Monticello Road between Bookman Loop to the west and Kinsler Road to the east.

The proposed project will replace the existing bridge with a three-span bridge on an off-set alignment. The bridge will accommodate two 12-foot travel lanes with 10-foot shoulders..

The purpose of this project is to replace the SC 215 bridge over Big Cedar Creek to eliminate structural deficiencies and to provide bridge and roadway approaches that meet current design standards. The bridge, which was built in 1962, was determined to no longer meet SCDOT's safety and design requirements for its transportation system.
