SCDOT Restricts Highway Lane Closures Ahead Of Labor Day Weekend

COLUMBIA, S.C. — To help holiday travelers, the South Carolina Department of Transportation (SCDOT) prohibits lane closures on interstate highways for non-emergency highway work during the Labor Day holiday travel period.

These restrictions will be in place from 6 a.m. Friday, Sept. 2, through 6 a.m. Tuesday, Sept. 6.

With continued progress due to SCDOT’s Strategic 10-Year Plan to rebuild South Carolina’s roads and bridges, more work zones are in place all across South Carolina.

SCDOT reminds motorists to remain alert and use caution. β€œLet β€˜em Work. Let β€˜em Live.”

Motorists may keep up with travel conditions by using SCDOT’s 511 system, which provides real-time traffic information on all South Carolina interstate highways and some of the highways along the coast. Users can call 511 or access www.511SC.org 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, and download the free app.
