The I-20 Eastbound right lane between mile marker 54 and 60 in Lexington County will be closed on Tuesday night, May 26, 2020. All traffic traveling along I-20 Eastbound will be directed into the left lane and will not have access to Exits 55 and 58. The on ramps at US 1 and SC 6 will also be closed. Motorists traveling along I-20 Eastbound wishing to use Exits 55 and 58 will continue along I-20 Eastbound to exit 61. At this point they can enter I-20 Westbound and use exits 55 and 58. Motorists wishing to enter I-20 Eastbound at Exit 55 will be directed along the detour route along Two Notch Road, Dooley Road, Cedar Road, and Cromer Road to 378 where they can enter I-20 at Exit 61. Any traffic wishing to enter I-20 Eastbound from US1 will be directed along the detour route down Cedar Road and Cromer Road to 378 to use Exit 61 ramps.
The I-20 Eastbound ramp closures at SC6 (Exit 55) and US1 (Exit 58) will occur from 7 pm Tuesday, May 26, until 6 pm Wednesday, May 27
Message board signs along US 1, SC 6, and I-20 will display detour directions.
Motorists are advised to use caution and plan accordingly in case of delays.
The road work is part of a four-phase project to widen an 11-mile stretch of I-20 in Lexington County. The project extends from mile marker 60 near US 378 to mile marker 49 at Longs Pond Road. Upon completion, the project will add a third inside lane in both directions aimed at reducing traffic congestion. It is expected to be completed in the summer of 2021
