Street Closure Alert: Lexington County’s Childs Street To undergo Repairs

If you’re planning to venture out in Lexington County starting this coming Monday, August 26, you may need to rethink your travel plans. According to the South Carolina Department of Transportation (SCDOT), there will be temporary closure and detour on Childs Street for repairs.

Plan Your Route Ahead

This might be a good time to consider that alternate route you’ve been thinking about. If you haven’t got one yet, well, better scramble now because repairs are expected to run for a week or so – no exact timeline given just yet. Also, SCDOT has your back – at least partly. They have decided to put up a signed detour route for all you good folks out there.

Want to plan your route even ahead of time? How about firing up the SCDOT’s 511 SC app or visiting 511sc.org. It’s always better to have a backup plan, right?

Use Caution Around Construction Crews

And just in case you can’t steer clear of the area, then slow down when you pass by the crews. The SCDOT reminds everyone to exercise caution. The workmen on the ground need all the protection they can get, so let’s keep it safe, people!

Temporary Street Closure: A Necessary Evil

While we all appreciate smooth as silk roads, nobody wants to withstand the occasional inconvenience of road repairs. But remember, in all the hustles and bustles of commuting, there’s always a silver lining to these necessary evils.

So, even if it seems a hassle at first, we need to keep an open mind about these temporary road closures. It’s a small sacrifice on our part that will ultimately result in better, safer roads for everyone. And who wouldn’t want that?

But hey, let’s focus our drive on the positive side, pun intended. This closure means soon we’ll be sailing smoothly along Childs Street once again. Meanwhile, remember, it’s always your safety first on the road, and any inconvenience should be secondary.

Driving Tips

Just a quick reminder. Whether you are driving on a detour or passing by the construction area, make sure to respect the speed limits, be aware of your surroundings, and pay attention to the signage.

Let’s drive safely, folks, because every journey matters.
