Road Closures in South Carolina Could Impact North Carolina Motorists

Last Updated on October 4, 2015 4:47 pm

North Carolina motorists traveling through South Carolina should be mindful that their trips could be impacted by road closures and detours due to this weekend's heavy rainfall and historic flooding.

A stretch of I-95 is closed in South Carolina between Florence and I-26. Traffic on I-95 South will be detoured onto I-20 and routed to Columbia.  That will take motorists around Columbia on I-77 and then back down I-26 towards Charleston to reconnect to I-95.  The detour will be reversed for I-95 North.

South Carolina crews are also rerouting a short section of I-20 within the Columbia area to I-77.

In addition, long-distance passenger rail service through South Carolina will also be impacted today and likely tomorrow.
