Concrete bridges

The South Carolina Department of Transportation (SCDOT) is soliciting bids for the design, manufacture, and installation of pre-stressed concrete bridges across four distinct lots in District 1. The procurement encompasses three 50-foot bridges and one 70-foot bridge, along with associated precast barrier rails and crane services for installation.
