As wedge mentioned, the closure times are what's allowed by SCDOT for this project. It's up to the contractor on what hours from that they actually choose. That's an updated time list from what was available previously.
If they don't repair a pothole within a couple of days after they are notified, the state is required to pay for damage to your car.
Good advice, although I'd be busy for a week filling out forms. At least create work requests for the unavoidable big potholes.
A sad story, that would be funny if it weren't true: today I found myself on smooth pavement and realized that I have a new vibration on the front end of my car. Thinking back, I realized it's been a very long time since I've been on any pavement smooth enough to even detect that type of vibration.

The website is only for state roads, I don't see a way to list the interstates.
UPDATE: Called SCDOT Greenville office at (864) 241-1224, the lady that answered was nice, but told me (typical government answer) that since it was in the "construction zone" it was no longer SCDOT responsibility and she would pass it on to the contractor. Jokingly, she told me not to blame her if it doesn't get fixed. (I didn't laugh...)

The interstates are in the list under the "I"s (i.e. I-85, I-385, etc.).
Dear SCDOT, if you have an extra scoop of asphalt, can you toss it into the large chuck hole on the entrance ramp to I-85N from I-385N that's been there for weeks and is growing?
Purple indicates roadway being widened, relocated, or otherwise improved. Orange is new bridge.
Current main visible construction is the temporary ramps at 385/Woodruff Rd interchange going in, trees being cleared just south of there along 385 for the planned widening and final ramp design.

Complain to the contractor about the damage to your vehicle, DOT is not responsible for damages in a work zone. The rules about DOT paying before/after notification don't apply anymore. The contractor will have to fix your vehicle if you can prove that the damage was because of the conditions on their project.
It's nice to see what the final plans are on the project website. I'm relieved to see that Chrome Drive isn't going to be turned into a dead-end. Many people rely on that shortcut rather than having to crawl to the light at Roper Mountain and Garlington to turn right towards Woodruff. Also nice to see is how exits and merges are being spread out between the interchange and Pelham Rd. That and the greatly increased number of lanes will make the bottleneck a lot better.
After looking at the scope of this project, I wonder why the Woodruff Rd. bridge over I-85 was not included in this project.
