The South Carolina Department of Transportation announced Tuesday, an upcoming bridge deck replacement project in Lexington County, at the US 21 bridge over I-26, mile marker 129. The bridge is in the 29160, or Swansea, Zip Code area.

In order to replace the existing bridge deck in its entirety, the bridge on US 21 over I-26 will be closed. This closing of the bridge will be implemented on Monday (March 18.) Detours will be installed prior to the bridge closing for traffic headed both northbound and southbound on US 21.

The bridge is expected to be re-opened to the public on May 28. Motorists should also be aware that nighttime lane closures on I-26, both East and Westbound, are expected during the demolition process of the existing bridge deck.

For more information concerning this project, the public may contact SCDOT Resident Construction Engineer, Jeremy Yuhas, at (803) 796-9540.
