General Information

The Lexington County Public Works Department’s primary responsibilities are the maintenance, repair, design and construction of the various County roads.  The department maintains 390 miles of paved roads, 719 miles of dirt roads, associated right-of-ways, and drainage systems, totaling 1109 miles of roads.  Of course, there are many more miles of road than this within Lexington County, most of which are maintained by the SC Department of Highways and Public Transportation.

The Public Works Department is comprised of five major divisions:

  • Administration
  • Engineering
  • Transportation
  • Stormwater
  • Vector Control

The various divisions in the Public Works Department work together, along with other regulatory agencies, to insure that all road and construction projects meet standards. For example, the Stormwater Division oversees subdivision and commercial development review, inspection, permitting and federal compliance for floodplain management.  The County’s water and air quality programs are also coordinated out of the Public Works Department.


Administration and Transportation

The Lexington county administrative and transportation divisions of Public Works are responsible for the maintenance of the County Road system. This County Road system includes both paved and dirt roads and the drainage features associated with these roads. Day to day operations include pot hole patching pavement overlays sign replacement scraping dirt roads cutting rights-of-ways etc. General road request can be submitted to Public Works by calling 803-785-8364. Please be as specific as possible when describing the problem so we can be sure to get it to the correct maintenance crew.   Issues relating to drainage from a county road may be called in the same manner or they can be emailed directly to drumbaugh@lex-co.com.
