After a delay for "unforseen circumstances, the South Carolina Department of Transportation has decided to delay a lane closure that would have disrupted traffic during the holiday season for two days. Two northbound lanes at mile marker 77 were scheduled to be shut down, starting Tuesday morning, officials announced Monday. Officials announced at 10 a.m. Tuesday that the shutdown would begin on Wednesday morning. "Due to unforeseen circumstances, the contractor was unable to begin working," the short release said. Just before 4 p.m. Tuesday, SCDOT officials sent out a news release saying that the maintenance repairs that would have closed the two lanes was rescheduled for early January. "Due to the time required to complete the work and the availability of materials, SCDOT and the contractor have elected to postpone the work to minimize impacts to traffic during holiday travel," the release said. The closure is needed so crews can repair four slabs of concrete, officials said.
