Lexington County residents should brace themselves for a temporary road closure as the South Carolina Department of Transportation (SCDOT) is set to close Childs Street for essential repairs starting on Monday, August 26. The closure is expected to last about a week, causing some changes in the usual traffic flow.
The SCDOT announced that the repairs are necessary to maintain the quality and safety of the roadway. During this period, Childs Street will be completely closed to vehicle traffic. Motorists are advised to use alternative routes to avoid delays. A signed detour route will be in place to guide drivers around the construction zone.
Residents who typically travel on Childs Street should plan ahead. The SCDOT encourages everyone to check their routes using the SCDOT’s 511 SC app or by visiting 511sc.org. This tool provides real-time traffic information, including road closures, detours, and construction updates.
If you must travel through the area, the SCDOT urges drivers to exercise caution. It is crucial to adhere to the posted signs and slow down around construction crews. Safety for both the workers and motorists is a top priority during this repair work.
As the work commences, favorable weather conditions are expected. Forecasters predict clear skies with a low temperature around 65°F, and light winds coming from the northeast at 5 to 10 mph. These mild conditions should help the workers complete the repairs efficiently without weather-related delays.
For updates regarding the closure and other local traffic information, residents can check the SCDOT website or use the 511 SC app. The SCDOT encourages community members to stay informed about road conditions and to share this information with others who may travel through the affected areas.
As the repairs on Childs Street begin next week, it’s important for everyone in Lexington County to plan their routes and prioritize safety. The closure is a necessary step towards ensuring safer roads for all, and with a little preparation, residents can navigate the detours with ease.
