| Columbia, S.C. (December 10, 2024)— The South Carolina Department of Transportation has rescheduled the temporary overnight closures of I-20 at Broad River Road (US-176). Please see the new dates below.
Traffic will be detoured using the Broad River Road intersection at Exit 65. Motorists will be directed to exit I-20 using the off-ramp to Broad River Road and continue through the intersection to enter the on-ramp back onto I-20.
The detour schedule for the I-20 westbound overnight closures is as follows:
- Thursday, December 12 to Friday, December 13 from 11:00 p.m. to 5:00 a.m.
The detour schedule for the I-20 eastbound overnight closures is as follows:

- Tuesday, December 17 to Wednesday, December 18 from 11:00 p.m. to 5:00 a.m.
These temporary overnight closures of I-20 are necessary for the contractor to set the concrete beams for the new bridge that will carry Broad River Road traffic over I-20 as part of Phase 2 of the Carolina Crossroads Project.
Message boards and construction signs will be placed along I-20 to inform motorists of the detour and temporary traffic pattern. Law enforcement will be present at the intersection of Broad River Road and the I-20 on-and-off-ramps to effectively direct traffic.

| The South Carolina Department of Transportation will temporarily close the bridge on SC 121 over I-26 in Newberry. The bridge was recently inspected after a vehicle struck the bridge and it was determined that the bridge needed to be closed for repair. The bridge was already scheduled to close in January 2025 for a rehabilitation project that includes raising the current structure. The bridge will be closed until that project is complete which is currently anticipated in spring 2025. All interstate travel lanes remain open.
As part of this closure, a detour route has been put in place. A map of the detour can be found below.
SCDOT encourages drivers to slow down and pay attention to signs and crews when driving through the work zone.

| The South Carolina Department of Transportation is asking the public to have all debris properly placed in the right of way of state-maintained roads in areas impacted by Hurricane Helene by December 16, 2024. The graphic below provides instructions for properly placing storm debris. SCDOT expects to have debris collected by the end of the year in most of the impacted areas. In the areas with the most significant storm damage and debris, SCDOT will continue collecting debris for the first several weeks of the New Year. This schedule is weather dependent and we will continue to communicate with residents in impacted areas.
Deputy Secretary for Engineering Rob Perry, P.E. said, “This is one of the largest debris missions in the history of our agency. We want to reassure folks that we are coming to help. We know we have properties in our hardest hit areas that are still waiting for the first pickup. We appreciate the patience of our community members as we work closely with our own maintenance forces and contract forces to clean up all of the mess that the storm left in our state.”
SCDOT asks the public to continue piling debris on the side of the road, safely out of the roadway. Moving all debris to the right of way by December 16 will allow crews to expedite the cleanup process.
Residents who are having trouble getting debris to the right of way due to limited road frontage or debris blocking the way are encouraged to call us directly at 855-467-2368.
Since work began in October, nearly 1,800,000 cubic yards of debris have been collected across the state. SCDOT asks that if you encounter crews, please slow down and give them room to work.
