SCDOT will implement a temporary detour for drivers using the ramp from I-126 Westbound onto I-26 Eastbound in the early morning hours on Tuesday, July 9.

The detour will begin just after midnight on Tuesday, July 9 with the closure of the existing flyover ramp and will remain in effect continuously until 6 a.m. with the completion of the concrete delivery.
