The South Carolina Department of Transportation (SCDOT) has postponed the closing of a portion of I-77 and the demolition of the northbound SC 277 bridge originally planned for Sept. 25-27 in Richland County after reviewing potential traffic impacts from the University of South Carolina home football game.
Work will be rescheduled at a later date not yet determined.
Original plans were to demolish the old SC 277 northbound bridge over I-77 beginning the night of Sept. 25, requiring lane closures and detours along a portion of the interstate. Construction of a new, improved SC 277 northbound bridge over I-77 was finished in mid-September and is open to traffic.
