SCDOT is getting ready for paving season with a "Pothole Blitz," a statewide effort to patch and repair potholes and make travel safer for everyone. Over the next several weeks, our dedicated maintenance crews will be working to fill and repair potholes across the state.

We need your help - if you see a pothole on a state roadway, please report it to us. You can easily submit pothole locations by visiting filling out a maintenance work request at scdot.org/pothole or calling 1-855-GO-SCDOT (855-467-2368).
