Greenville County’s Important Bridge Repair Projects Need Your Input!

Hey there, Greenville! If you’ve ever found yourself driving over a bridge and wondered about its condition, now’s your chance to weigh in on some critical repair projects happening right in your backyard. The South Carolina Department of Transportation (SCDOT) is gearing up to gather input from residents about various bridge repair projects in Greenville, Pickens, and Spartanburg counties. Better grab your thoughts and opinions because the input window is open from March 10 to April 9!

Pick Your Projects!

Among the projects highlighted for feedback, two are especially noteworthy:

• Table Rock Road Bridge over the Oolenoy River in Pickens County.
• Dan River Road Bridge over a tributary of the Pacolet River in Spartanburg County.

Your opinion matters! Interested folks can send in their thoughts through the dedicated SCDOT project website. It’s a great opportunity to make your voice heard and contribute to the safety and reliability of the roads you travel every day.

Old Grove Road Bridge Needs Your Patience

Meanwhile, in Greenville County, the Old Grove Road bridge has been closed due to some serious damages caused by recent heavy rainfall. For now, it’s out of service and has been detoured for repairs, with a reopening date still up in the air. Hang tight while those repairs are underway; safety comes first!

Future Replacement Projects on the Horizon!

If you think that’s all, think again! Looking ahead, SCDOT has plans to replace ten bridges that took quite a beating during Tropical Storms Debby and Helene. This is a big deal, as the flow of safe travel is a top priority. Some key bridges set for replacement include:

• South Hudson Street Bridge
• West Washington Street Bridge
• New Cut Road Bridge over Motlow Creek in Spartanburg County.

Construction is set to kick off in the winter of 2025 and is expected to take around eight months for each project. These efforts aim to enhance the safety and reliability of routes that residents rely on every day, prioritizing structural safety to prevent future mishaps.

Church Street Bridge – A Maintenance Makeover!

$20 million. However, be prepared as the bridge will see a change in traffic flow. It’ll be reduced from four lanes down to two lanes, and during construction, the speed limit will be knocked down to 25 mph.

Mark your calendars for June 2026 because complete closure of the Church Street bridge will hit for six weeks as construction fully unfolds. Don’t fret, as city leaders are on it. They are working closely with DOT to ensure smooth communication about closures and any traffic impacts that may arise.

Get Involved and Stay Informed!

So let’s gear up, Greenville! Whether you drive, walk, or cycle, staying informed about the state of our bridges is crucial. Make sure your voice is heard before April 9. Happy driving!
