SCDOT to Close I-26 Westbound Off-Ramp to Bush River Road
COLUMBIA, S.C. – The South Carolina Department of Transportation (SCDOT) has announced that it will permanently close the westbound off-ramp from I-26 to Bush River Road. This closure is set to take effect at 9 p.m. on Sunday, November 10.
Drivers looking to access Bush River Road from westbound I-26 will still be able to do so using an alternative route. The recommended detour will lead them through the expanded Colonial Life Boulevard and I-126 interchange.
This closure marks the final step in SCDOT’s plan to modify traffic patterns on Bush River Road. These changes are essential for upcoming improvements to the I-26/I-20/I-126 interchange.
For drivers transitioning from I-26 westbound to Bush River Road, the new exit will direct them from the right lane on I-126 westbound, just past St. Andrews Road.
As SCDOT works on enhancing the Carolina Crossroads area, drivers are urged to remain vigilant and heed all posted traffic signs.
