Lexington County, South Carolina – The South Carolina Department of Transportation (SCDOT) has announced an upcoming road closure affecting Whippoowill Drive at US 378 in Lexington County. The closure will start on Monday, July 29, and is set to make way for a significant pavement repair project.
The SCDOT’s detour is part of a broader scope to improve the county’s transportation infrastructure. The initiative involves a comprehensive pavement repair task, which also comprises improvements to the region’s drainage system and resurfacing of the affected roadway. The project is likely to be completed by August.
Motorists who frequent Whippoowill Drive will be affected by the road closure and are encouraged to plan alternative routes. The SCDOT recommends drivers to pay keen attention to signage for detour instructions to mitigate confusion and avoid inadvertent violations. The department is committed to ensuring minimal disruption during the repair works and has put in place stringent measures to manage traffic effectively.
Road users passing through the affected zones are urged to observe keen alertness during the closure period. The SCDOT advises motorists to maintain vigilance, adhere to all traffic laws and instructions, and give construction zones wide clearance for the safety of both the road users and the project workers. The proposed detour and road closure are a necessary inconvenience to improve the road quality and overall driving experience in Lexington County.
The SCDOT is dedicated to maintaining and enhancing the county’s transport infrastructure, with a key focus on ensuring optimal road safety and driving conditions. This project serves as another testament to this commitment and is expected to significantly improve Whippoowill Drive’s condition, making it much safer and more convenient for motorists.
Besides the direct improvements to the pavement and the drainage system, SCDOT’s extensive repair work also indirectly contributes to road safety by ensuring smoother roads that help reduce the risk of traffic accidents. Such projects are vital for the county’s transportation evolution and uphold the department’s commitment to citizen safety.
The SCDOT appreciates all road users in Lexington County for their patience and understanding as these crucial upgrades get underway. These improvements are expected to provide a safer and more efficient transportation environment for everyone in the community.
