Streets & Sidewalks Maintenance

This division may also assist the South Carolina Department of Transportation by making repairs to its rights-of-way when requested by the state or when special materials and construction techniques are required. The division has four crews that repair sidewalks and construct curb cuts for wheelchair accessibility. One of the crews specializes in repair to brick, bluestone and other unique materials that occur within the city.

The division also has an asphalt crew that operates an asphalt patch truck. This crew is responsible for patching and repairing minor potholes in city streets and is also capable of resurfacing small areas.

Funding for street resurfacing comes from C-Funds that are distributed by the Charleston County Transportation Committee. With approval from the city, Charleston County Public Works administers a countywide resurfacing contract that includes city streets.
