Lexington, South Carolina: Road Repairs Loom Ahead!
Hey there, Lexington residents! We’ve got some important news that you might want to keep an eye on as we move into next week. Starting this Monday, November 18, the South Carolina Department of Transportation (SCDOT) is rolling up their sleeves to get some bridge repairs done on Marcellus Rd. Yep, you heard it right! So, if you’re planning on heading through that area, there are a few changes you should be aware of.
What to Expect: Closure Details
The closure of Marcellus Rd. is expected to last until Friday, November 22. During this time, all traffic will be redirected as the repair crews do their thing. But don’t worry too much, SCDOT has promised that they’ll set up a detour route to help everyone navigate around the work zone. So, while it might not be smooth sailing, you can still make it to your destination with a little patience.
Local Traffic Access
If you live nearby, you can breathe a small sigh of relief, as Marcellus Rd. will remain open for local traffic only. Just keep in mind to watch out for construction crews and potential delays, as they’ll be working hard to ensure the road is safe for everyone. The SCDOT is urging all drivers to slow down and stay alert for any signs of construction or changes in the road.
Daytime Lane Closures on I-20
But wait, there’s more! If you’re thinking about taking I-20 during this time, you should also prepare for some daytime lane closures. These closures are also part of the bridge repair endeavors and will help the crews work effectively and safely. So, don’t be surprised if you see some extra signs or crews bustling about. It’s all hands on deck to get these repairs done right!
Stay Informed and Plan Ahead
As the dates approach, it might be a good idea to plan your routes ahead of time. Whether you’re heading to work, school, or just out and about, knowing where to go can save you some headache and time. And remember, patience is key! Construction can be frustrating, but it ultimately leads to safer roads for everyone.
Weather Report: What’s Happening This Week
Speaking of planning ahead, let’s not forget to check in on the weather! This week in Lexington is shaping up to be pretty pleasant, with temperatures reaching a high of 69°F. There will be a mix of clouds and sun, so make sure to enjoy that sun when it’s out! Just be aware of some patchy fog that may drift into the area, especially in the mornings. Nighttime temperatures will dip to around 45°F, so if you’re heading out in the evening, you might want to grab a light jacket.
