Columbia, S.C. (February 23, 2026) - The South Carolina Department of Transportation will close and detour a portion of Edgeland Road for roadway improvements starting March 1.

The project will involve increasing sight distance by lowering a hill on the road and the construction of a turn lane onto SC 9. The closure is expected to last for 10 months.

As part of this closure a detour route has been set up. A map of the detour can be found below. Please note that Edgeland Road will be open to local traffic only.
