Hundreds of South Carolina highways and other roads totaling 727 miles will be paved or reconstructed in 2025 by the South Carolina Department of Transportation.

The Transportation Commission approved spending $719 million on the roads project, a 10-year effort. It’s the eighth year of the $3.6 billion project, which has improved more than 8,800 miles so far.

According to the priority list released by the commission, the worst road to get attention next year is a neighborhood street, Sunset Road in Laurens County, which scored 980.

Among major streets, US Highway 25/White Horse Road in Greenville County scored 950.
