The project (SCDOT P045479 and P045481) encompasses mobilization; removal and disposal of existing pavement and curbing; borrow excavation; cement-modified recycled base installation; multiple asphalt paving courses; full-depth asphalt patching; milling of existing pavement; pavement markings in fast-dry paint, epoxy paint, and thermoplastic formats; permanent pavement markers; milled-in rumble strips; traffic signal equipment and radar detection systems; catch basin conversions; concrete curb and gutter installation; sidewalk and driveway construction; detectable warning materials; and permanent grassing. Completion is September 30, 2027.

This is a federal-aid project subject to Title 23 of the United States Code and the Davis-Bacon Act, with Secretary of Labor predetermined minimum wage rates. The DBE goal is 0.00%, indicating no disadvantaged business enterprise set-aside. Funding is state transportation (ST) funds. Contractors must comply with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, the Fair Labor Standards Act of 1938, the Work Hours and Safety Act of 1962, and federal equal employment opportunity requirements.
