South Carolina’s section of Interstate 85, called the Boom Belt due to burgeoning economic activity throughout the corridor, is now even better equipped to handle its load of travelers and shipping thanks to this design-build project to add two lanes across eight miles of I-85 and reconstruct four interchanges and one railroad bridge.

Contractors on a highway widening project spotted bridge damage and alerted the state.

A collapsed section of I-85 in Atlanta appears to be on track to be restored by mid-June, Georgia Dept. of Transportation officials say.
