Charlotte, NC, August 3, 2026 —
The South Carolina Department of Transportation (SCDOT) has begun lane closures on Interstate 77 southbound in York County, specifically near Exit 82. The closures are in place to facilitate necessary bridge repair work.
The affected areas include stretches of I-77 near Celanese Road, Cherry Road, and Dave Lyle Boulevard. These closures are part of an ongoing effort to maintain and repair state infrastructure.
According to the SCDOT, the repair work is expected to continue until Wednesday afternoon. Drivers in the region are advised to anticipate potential delays and plan their routes accordingly.
The timing of these repairs has become a point of concern for local commuters. The closures coincide with the first day of school for many students in York County, a period that typically sees an increase in traffic. Additionally, existing construction projects in the area may further exacerbate traffic congestion.
Further details regarding the specific scope of the bridge repairs or alternative routes were not immediately available. The SCDOT has not provided information on potential detours beyond the initial announcement of lane closures.
