Columbia, S.C. (September 29, 2023) – SCDOT will implement the following series of temporary, overnight closures of Interstate 20 traffic under the Broad River Road bridge (mile marker 65). During this time, I-20 traffic will be detoured across Broad River Road.
Drivers can expect to experience a slowdown in traffic while these detours are in place. This work is part of the Carolina Crossroads project in Richland County.
I-20 Westbound
- Monday, October 2, 2023, at 11:00 p.m. – Tuesday, October 3, 2023, at 5:00 a.m.
- Tuesday, October 3, 2023, at 11:00 p.m. – Wednesday, October 4, 2023, at 5:00 a.m.
- Wednesday, October 4, 2023, at 11:00 p.m. – Thursday, October 5, 2023, 5:00 a.m.
Detour Route: Traffic will be directed to take the exit 65 off-ramp to Broad River Road. At the traffic signal, drivers will travel straight across Broad River Road and take the I-20 westbound on-ramp back to the interstate.
I-20 Eastbound
- Thursday, October 5, 2023, at 11:00 p.m. – Friday, October 6, 2023, at 5:00 a.m.
- Tuesday, October 10, 2023, at 11:00 p.m. – Wednesday, October 11, 2023, at 5:00 a.m.

Thursday, October 12, 2023, at 11:00 p.m. – Friday, October 13, 2023, at 5:00 a.m.
Detour Route: Traffic will be directed to take the exit 65 off-ramp to Broad River Road. At the traffic signal, drivers will travel directly across Broad River Road and take the I-20 eastbound on-ramp back to the interstate.
These nightly detours of I-20 traffic will allow girders to be safely lifted by cranes across the closed interstate travel lanes and set in their permanent location, which is a major step in construction of the first of two new Broad River Road bridges over I-20. Message boards and construction signs will be placed along I-20 and Broad River Road throughout the duration of the detour to inform motorists of the temporary traffic pattern. Law enforcement will also be present at the intersection of Broad River Road to effectively monitor and direct traffic.
Drivers are advised to use caution and plan accordingly in case of delays. Note that all dates are subject to change based on weather conditions. Visit the project webpage
