Closure and Detour of Rainbow Lake Road bridge in Spartanburg County

The South Carolina Department of Transportation is beginning a bridge repair project along Rainbow Lake Road in Spartanburg County. The bridge is expected to be closed for approximately one month while repair work is completed.

A signed detour route using River Oak Road, Highway 9 and Highway 11 is in place. A map of the detour is included below.


Motorists are encouraged to plan their detour routes in advance and to drive safely around road work zones. Real-time traffic and road closure information is always available at 511sc.org and on the SCDOT 511 mobile app.


SCDOT is repairing and replacing hundreds of deficient bridges across South Carolina as part of the agency's Strategic 10-Year Plan to improve the state's roads and bridges. Since the implementation of the plan, 301 bridges have advanced to construction across South Carolina.
