BLYTHEWOOD – In order to allow crews to construct part of the new SCOUT railroad overpass on I-77, SCDOT will conduct temporary nighttime closures of I-77 Northbound from mile marker 24 to 27 in Richland County.
The first closure will occur Monday, May 5 from 9 p.m. through Tuesday, May 6 at 6 a.m. Northbound lanes will be closed again Wednesday, May 7 at 9 p.m. until Thursday, May 8 at 6 a.m.
As part of these closures, a signed detour route will be put in place. Drivers will take Exit 24 and turn right on to Wilson Boulevard (US 21) and then turn left on to Blythewood Road where they will re-enter I-77 Northbound.
SCDOT encourages drivers to slow down and pay attention to crews and signs when driving near work zones.
