The South Carolina Department of Transportation (SCDOT) has reopened 99% of the 900 state roads that were closed following Hurricane Helene last year. SCDOT collected 5.4 million cubic yards of debris and repaired over $50 million in road and bridge damages. The state government has appropriated $35 million to match federal funds for the recovery. The SCDOT team has worked alongside federal, state, and local partners to get South Carolina back on track following the storm.
