Crumbling asphalt just across the I-85 bridge into South Carolina

I-85 northbound traffic entering South Carolina is encountering crumbling asphalt which, for some travelers, makes for a first impression of the state.  It’s National Travel and Tourism Week.  The question of when the state might authorize the highway repairs is one that Dawn Moore Smith at the Welcome Center cannot answer, so 101.7/WGOG NEWS has sent an inquiry to the state DOT.
