WSAV South CarolinaCOLUMBIA, S.C. (WSPA) - We often hear from drivers that they want to see more money put into the roads in South Carolina, and now it's happening.
The South Carolina Department of Transportation asked for $200 million from the general assembly for roads and bridges, and they got it along with a bonus of $35 million to help areas affected by Hurricane Helene.
"I have to change my windshield ever other year due to rocks getting kicked up and cracking my window, and there's a pothole on about every street. They repair it by just putting a cone in it," said Mike Cobb, a South Carolina Resident.
"Roads for sure fixing some of the potholes around the train tracks, so I've popped a couple tires," said Matthew Coven, another South Carolina Resident.
