Simpsonville Public Works Department Announces Nightly Road Closures for Sewer Main Line Construction

Drivers navigating downtown Simpsonville should prepare for evening delays and rolling detours this week. The Simpsonville Public Works Department has issued a high-priority road work alert ahead of extensive sewer main line maintenance.

According to a construction schedule published by city officials, the utility improvements are being executed strictly overnight to minimize the overall impact on heavy daytime commuter traffic. The nightly operations officially commenced on Sunday, May 31, 2026, at 6:00 p.m.

Rolling Work Schedule and Targeted Streets

The infrastructure project relies on a rolling timeline, closing specific blocks down one evening at a time as crews progress down the line. Motorists are advised to plan alternative routes around the following active work zones:

• Sunday, May 31: Work area concentrated on NE Main St. near Simpsonville City Park.

• Monday, June 1: Double closures scheduled for W Curtis St. and College St.

• Tuesday, June 2: Operations shifting to E Curtis St.

• Wednesday, June 3: Active construction wrapping up on Academy St. and within the ALDI Parking Lot on Fairview Rd.

Detour Information and Driver Advisory

To assist drivers through the closures, the city has established dedicated detour loops marked with green route markers around each temporary roadblock. Public Works officials are urging the community to allow extra travel time, remain alert for construction personnel, and follow all posted traffic signs.

City managers emphasize that the outdoor schedule remains entirely subject to change depending on local weather conditions or unexpected mechanical issues. For immediate inquiries or emergency contacts regarding the active work zones, residents can reach project coordinator Aaron Stephens directly at (864) 525-0893.
