We're paving in the Pee Dee! 🛣️ You’ll notice a smoother ride traveling down Antioch Rd in Hartsville. Over 3.5 miles of resurfacing work began in late August and was completed in early September. This project boasts a widened road and improved subgrade for added safety.

SCDOT recently wrapped up a pavement improvement project in Allendale County, and the results are *borderline* amazing. 😎 Our team upgraded four miles of US 301, starting just east of the Georgia-South Carolina border line and ending right before River Road.
