Columbia, S.C. (November 13, 2026) - The South Carolina Department of Transportation will host a ribbon cutting ceremony celebrating the completion of the I-26/I-95 Interchange Project in Orangeburg, Dorchester counties on Thursday, November 19, at 11 a.m.
Originally scheduled for completion in Summer 2027, the project is being completed six months ahead of schedule, marking a significant milestone for transportation in the region and delivering important improvements to one of the state's key interstate connections.
The project was designed to improve safety, reduce traffic congestion, and enhance traffic flow at this heavily traveled interchange. Improvements include replacing existing loop ramps with new, modern flyover ramps to improve traffic movements between the two interstates. In addition, the roadways were reconstructed to improve travel conditions and accommodate future capacity needs as traffic continues to grow in the region.
The final flyover ramp, connecting I-95 northbound to I-26 westbound, will open to traffic overnight on November 19, completing the interchange improvements and providing motorists with the full benefits of the new configuration.
