Ongoing Palmetto Corp SCDOT Jobs

Our crews have started construction on the below large DOT projects listed below and will be hard at work at them over the next year. Keep an eye out for us on the road, and please be safe in construction zones!

Highway 501 Widening

Palmetto Corp’s crews started road construction on the widening of Highway 501 in October and everything is progressing smoothly.  The project will add a third lane to a 2.1 mile stretch of the northbound lanes of Highway 501 from Tanger outlets to Garner Lacey Roadd. Much of the construction to date has not interrupted traffic flow, as our crews have been laying pipe and grading in preparation for the new lane, which all takes place on the shoulder of the road. When we do need to encroach on the existing road, we wait until night time to perform that work.

Pawleys Island Bike Path

Pawleys Island residents are excited to see construction on a new three mile bike path along Kings River Road and Waverly Road. This will be a asphalt-paved bikeway with a bike bridge and is funded by federal grants, private donors, the Safe Routes to School grant, and the SC DOT and Federal Highway Administration. Construction began in October 2013 and should be completed around the same time next year. Read The Sun News’ story here.

Highway 52 Widening (Darlington)

Our crews are working on widening Highway 52 in Darlington from a two lane roadway to a four lane divided section. This widening project stretches five miles from US 52 BS in Darlington to S-41 in Dovesville and includes a bridge replacement over Black Creek.

Alice Drive (Sumter)

Our crews are also widening Alice Drive in Sumter from Wise Dr (S-380) to Westmark Blvd (S-1074). This is a very busy area of Sumter, so the new widened road will be a relief for Sumter area drivers.
