Delivering the ACT 98 Program  Resurfacing  Bridges  Interstates 21

Delivering the ACT 98 Program: Resurfacing  SCDOT’s Non Federal Aid Resurfacing program has been more than doubled with ACT 98 resurfacing.  Actual Revenues ($60M) are trending ahead of forecast ($41M).  $55M in ACT 98 resurfacing projects are under contract.  Another $43M of ACT 98 resurfacing is planned to go to contract between now and February  Every county in the state will receive ACT 98 resurfacing dollars. 22

Delivering the ACT 98 Program: Bridges  $50M set aside to serve as match for 2 years of Federal Aid bridge projects. Currently, SCDOT has utilized approximately 50% of the 1 st year’s match allocation.  SCDOT redirected it’s previously planned matching dollars back into the bridge program.  The “cascaded funds” have enabled $25M in construction to begin on 33 bridge projects to address load restricted or closed bridges spread out across the Districts by the end of this calendar year.  27 additional projects are planned to be let in Jan/Feb

Delivering the ACT 98 Program: Interstates  Annual allocation of $50M to be leveraged via the SCTIB for an estimated $550M in available state resources.  I-85 / I-385 Interchange in Greenville  I-77 widening from I-20 to Killian Road in Richland  I-20 widening from Longs Pond Road to US 378 in Lexington  I-85 widening from Gossett Rd to SC 18 in Cherokee and Spartanburg Counties  Design work on the last phase of I-85 widening to near NC state line, I-20/I-26/I-126 interchange in Columbia and other projects yet to be identified in order to develop “projects on the shelf”. 24

Delivering the ACT 98 Program: Interstates  The largest of the ACT 98 Interstate projects has been awarded for construction: I-85 / I-385 Interchange upgrade. It includes $80M of ACT 98 funds and is the 2 nd largest contract in SCDOT history.  Partnering with FHWA has enabled 6-9 months of acceleration on the I-20 & I-77 projects. The Requests for Proposals for both projects are expected to be released to the design-build arena between Summer and Fall of next year.  Preparatory work is underway on the complicated I-85 widening project. First Public Meeting on the project is planned for this November in order engage the public on this significant project. 25

Delivering the ACT 98 Program: Interstates 26 $270M Project, $80M ACT 98 funds $65M +/- Project $88M +/- Project $260M +/- Project $20M Est. Available

Delivering the ACT 98 Program: Summary  Resurfacing: Original target of $41M per year. Currently have $55M on the streets now with plans to grow it to $100M by February. More to follow based on revenues.  Bridges: Original target of 90 “cascaded” bridges over a 2-3 year period. Currently have 33 bridge projects underway with plans to grow it to 60 bridge replacement projects by February.  Interstates: Largest ACT 98 enabled project, I-85/I-385, is under construction. I-20 & I-77 have been accelerated. First Public Meeting on the complex I-85 project is in 2 months. 27
