Incredible work by SCDOT to re-open I-20 just hours after the tanker crash.

As a civil engineer, I know the level of coordination and logistics it took to pull this off. Great job by everyone involved!

Hey, SCDOT! Pay attention!
This German-engineered road absorbs 4 tons of water in under a minute through a porous granite base and concealed drainage pipes. It allows water to filter into the ground, reducing runoff, managing stormwater, and recharging groundwater.

I question the way our tax dollars are handled by Curtis Loftis. No new taxes until there is proof of actual need!
