CHARLESTON, S.C. (WCSC) – Work on the I-26 traffic plan continues throughout most of next week.
Phase 2 of the I-26 traffic plan associated with the construction of the Palmetto Commerce Interchange project will continue Aug. 4, with a series of intermittent nighttime lane closures along I-26 between Highway 78 and Ashley Phosphate Road.
This phase of the traffic plan is designed to shift traffic away from the median to allow crews to construct the interchange bridge. Below is a full breakdown of the scheduled lane closures.
Work will occur Sunday night through Thursday night the week of Aug. 4.
Starting Sunday night, between 5 p.m. and 5 a.m., crews will be close down a single westbound left travel lane to place a temporary barrier wall to complete the Phase 2 traffic shift operations.
Starting the following night, between 7 p.m. and 5 a.m., crews will install thermoplastic pavement markings on top of the current temporary paint markings. This will involve a rolling traffic control as pavement markings go down.
As always, motorists are asked to use caution when traveling through the work area and comply with traffic control signs, reduced speed limits, and message board information.
The Palmetto Commerce Interchange project is designed to reduce congestion at surrounding intersections, offer additional travel routes, provide access to existing and planned developments and improve overall mobility throughout the area.
