SCDOT to conduct temporary closure, detour of Black Tom Road in Berkeley County for road work

Columbia, S.C. (July 14, 2025) - The South Carolina Department of Transportation will close and detour part of Black Tom Road in Berkeley County for road work beginning the week of July 20. The closure is expected to reopen in August.

This closure is dependent on weather. Any updates to the closure will be displayed on the message boards in the area. During this time, crews will work to complete intersection improvements related to the US 176 and Black Tom Road Improvements Project. This will help improve the flow of traffic within the intersection.

SCDOT appreciates the public's patience as we work to move this project forward. We ask that you please slow down and pay attention to crews and signage when driving near the work zone.
