Following emergency work conducted last night and into this morning, the interstate is fully reopened in this area. Additional work on the bridge is planned and being coordinated and we will share updates as we have them. In the meantime, it remains safe for travel.

We are conducting temporary single-lane closures on I-20 in Lexington County for emergency inspection. Please see the link below for more information: scdot.org/inside/SCDOTPress/…

Summer travel season is here! ☀️ Whether you're heading to the beach, the mountains, or somewhere in between, South Carolina's SHEP patrols are out helping stranded motorists, responding to incidents, and keeping traffic moving. If you need assistance, dial*HP!

Making way for a smoother ride. 😎 Crews on the Church Street Bridge in Greenville have been performing hydrodemolition, a process that uses high-pressure water to remove worn-out concrete and prepare the bridge deck for a smooth new surface.

🚧SCDOT is in the peak of its paving season. Crews have been hard at work restoring SC 914 in Lancaster County. The process starts with something called "reclamation” where the existing road is essentially rebuilt from the ground up! The result? A stronger route for all!🚧

Today, with SCDPS, we're conducting our annual hurricane lane reversal exercise. No lanes are actually reversed today, but this drill ensures SCDOT and SCDPS are ready for a real evacuation. Expect increased activity and flashing lights along routes until early afternoon.

🚧In Darlington County, SCDOT is addressing heavy traffic at the intersection of McIver Road and Old Florence Road by converting it into a roundabout. Roundabouts have proven to be safer, reducing speeds and encouraging safer movements! 🚧

We’re putting our stamp on our bridge projects, literally. These are pictures recently taken at the bridge replacement on US 301 in Orangeburg, where the state of South Carolina was etched into the new bridge caps. 🌴 The bridge project is set to be done by the end of the year.

Through our Rural Road Safety Program, we’ve achieved: ✅ A 30% reduction in fatal and serious injury crashes across SC ✅ A 54% reduction in run-off-road crashes involving fatal and serious injuries in SC The impact is clear: sensible solutions are making our roads safer. 🚗

Heads up! This Wednesday, June 10, DPS will work in conjunction with @SCDOTPress, @SCEMD, and other State Emergency Response Team members to conduct a full-scale hurricane evacuation exercise for all three major coastal areas of the state. From 8 a.m. to 3 p.m. on Wednesday, personnel will simulate interstate lane reversals on Interstate 26, U.S. 21, U.S. 278, U.S. 501, and S.C. 544 in the event of a coastal evacuation order. Please note that no traffic lanes will actually be reversed during this exercise, and this simulation will not impede the flow of traffic.

⚠️ In Columbia, SCDOT owns and operates that state’s only sign creation and pressing shop. This small and dedicated team is capable of producing up to 75,000 signs each year. These are the very same signs that guide you along your routes every day. 🛑

🛣️ SCDOT crews in Lancaster County have recently resurfaced SC 522! Just over 4 miles of roadway was improved with brighter pavement markings and reinstalled rumbled strips. As peak paving season continues, remember to drive cautiously when traveling near the work zone. 🚧

We’re upgrading your roads in Orangeburg County! ⚠️ SCDOT recently finished repaving about 10 miles of SC-210 between Bowman and I-95. We’re now working to repave about 7 miles of US 178 between Bowman and Branchville, which is on track to be done by July.

Have you spotted the new look under the Church Street Bridge in Greenville? Crews have been hard at work painting underneath the new bridge a bold shade of blue, adding another touch of character to this downtown landmark.

The Old Vaucluse Road bridge over I-20 has officially reopened to traffic! Crews have been working tirelessly to replace the bridge after being damaged in June 2025. Not only has the bridge been rebuilt, it’s been improved to serve this Aiken County community better than before.
