House Budget Includes Money for Roads & Bridges

The FY23-24 budget, as passed by the SC House this week, includes one-time and recurring allocations to bolster road and bridge improvements.

Infrastructure investments remain a priority among legislators. The SCDOT has been allocated non-recurring dollars for bridges ($200 million) and a combination of recurring and non-recurring funds for litter ($8 million). The budget also includes a non-recurring allocation ($250 million) to accelerate County Transportation Committee (CTC) projects.

The allocations directly to SCDOT are in line with their budget requests. As previously reported, SCDOT has requested $1 billion over five years for bridges and $8 million for litter pick-up on non-interstate routes.

SCFOR applauds the House for allocating dollars to address our bridge network and boosting funds for county road programs.

Bridges are key connectors for communities and commerce. The $200 million allocation for bridges will help address repairs and replacements of aging structures across the state. We look forward to working with the Senate to support this allocation as they begin their budget deliberations.
