About the County Roads
Georgetown County consists of roads contributed by developers and individual property owners, and in-house or contracted county roads. There are approximately 975 roads in Georgetown County totaling 329 miles of roadway. Roughly 109 miles of these roads are paved and the other 220 miles consists of dirt roads and aggregate roads - stone, slag, recycled asphalt pavement (RAP) and other base materials.
Rights-of-way vary on these roads. While some rights-of-way include only the maintained area of the roadway, others are typically fifty foot. All developer-contributed and county-improved roads require a minimum fifty-foot road right-of-way.
Existing roads vary in their cross-section construction, right-of-way, drainage, materials of construction, and design integrity. This is not uncommon as many of these roads were acquired by the county through hardship waivers or prior to the development of county standards for acceptance.
Georgetown County upgrades roadways to a standard consistent with accepted design protocol as opportunities allow (including rights-of-way, drainage, alignment and cross-section improvement).

There are 7 newly petitioned road projects going through the process for determining eligibility and right-of-way so they can be considered for funding:
- Godfrey Road
