With over 40,000 miles of highways in disrepair, the move aims to speed up repairs and bring clarity to leadership. Meanwhile, the state is eyeing “choice lanes” — paid express lanes — in cities like Charleston and Greenville, but only after extensive studies to ensure they’re financially viable and community-friendly. While the changes signal a new direction, experts warn that decades of neglect won’t be fixed overnight — and transportation will remain a top issue in the next governor’s race.
