Columbia, S.C.
(May 7, 2024) - Starting overnight tonight, the South Carolina Department of Transportation will shift traffic on US 1 over Interstate 20 in Lexington County as part of the I-20 Interchange Improvement Project. Overnight the traveling public can expect to experience temporary lane closures on US 1 and I-20 Eastbound while the contractor performs work needed to complete the traffic shift.
As part of this traffic shift, SCDOT will also open the new I-20 Eastbound on-ramp from US 1. This is a right-turn only lane, which is accessed from US 1 Southbound (traveling from West Columbia toward Lexington). US 1 Northbound traffic will continue to access I-20 Eastbound via the existing loop ramp.
SCDOT asks drivers to use caution as the motoring public adjusts to the new traffic pattern.
