Lane closures planned for westbound portion of Killian Road over I-77 in Richland County

Bridge Rehabilitation to begin the night of June 10 and last approx. 6 weeks

The South Carolina Department of Transportation (SCDOT) announces a lane closure beginning the night of June 10 on Killian Road westbound in Richland County required to improve the bridge over Interstate 77.

This project is part of SCDOT’s 10-year Strategic Plan to rehabilitate and improve structurally deficient bridges across South Carolina.

The contractor’s work to repair to the bridge deck over I-77 requires two stages.

Beginning the night of June 10, the right lane of westbound Killian Road will be closed starting at Killian Crossing and ending beyond the overpass of I-77. Upon completion of the right lane of the bridge, traffic will be shifted onto the new lane and the left lane will then be closed to traffic to continue the final stage of the bridge deck repairs.

Each stage will last approximately 3 weeks. The entire project is estimated to take approximately 6 weeks, barring delays due to weather or other circumstances. Work will be done around the clock to lessen the impact to motorists as much as possible.

All on-ramps and off-ramps to I-77 at this interchange will remain open during construction.

Motorists should watch signs for construction information and are encouraged to avoid the area by taking alternate routes if possible during construction. Please use caution in the work zone. “Let ‘em Work. Let ‘em Live.”
