AN ACT TO AMEND SECTIONS 57-5-820 and 57-5-830, CODE OF LAWS OF SOUTH CAROLINA,
1976, RELATING TO CONSENT OF A MUNICIPALITY TO WORK ON STATE HIGHWAYS WITHIN
THE MUNICIPALITY AND TO APPROVAL OF PLANS, SO AS TO PROVIDE THAT THE CONSENT
OF A MUNICIPALITY AND APPROVAL OF PLANS SHALL NOT APPLY TO BRIDGES CERTIFIED
AS FUNCTIONALLY OBSOLETE OR STRUCTURALLY DEFICIENT IF THE BRIDGE CROSSES THE
INTRACOASTAL WATERWAY.
Be it enacted by the General Assembly of the State of South Carolina:
Definitions
SECTION 1. Section 57-5-820 of the 1976 Code is amended to read:
"Section 57-5-820. As used in this section and Section 57-5-830:
'Structurally deficient' means not adequate to handle the vehicle weights authorized on roads leading to
them.
'Functionally obsolete' means narrow clearances or sharp roadway approach angles that make passage
difficult or hazardous, or with too few lanes for existing traffic needs.
All work to be performed by the Department on state highways within a municipality must be with the
consent and approval of the proper municipal authorities, except that work performed or to be performed on
a bridge and its approaches, certified by the Department as functionally obsolete or structurally deficient, to
remove, replace, or improve such bridge and its approaches shall not require prior consent and approval of
a municipal authority if the bridge crosses the intracoastal waterway."
Review of plans
SECTION 2. Section 57-5-830 of the 1976 Code is amended to read:
"Section 57-5-830. In every case of a proposed permanent improvement, construction, reconstruction,
or alteration by the Department of any highway or highway facility within a municipality, the municipality
may review and approve the plans before the work is started; except that a municipality may not have the
right to review and approve plans to remove, replace, or improve a bridge and its approaches within its limits
where such bridge and its approaches have been certified by the Department to be functionally obsolete or
structurally deficient and if the bridge crosses the intracoastal waterway."
Time effective
SECTION 3. This act shall take effect upon approval by the Governor. |
