Clear Skies and Road Repairs Cause Minor Detours for Lexington Residents

Clear Skies Ahead for Lexington Residents Amid Road Repairs

Good day, Lexington! As we step into a new week, we can count our blessings for some delightful weather ahead. Today’s forecast is looking bright with clear to mostly sunny skies anticipated this afternoon! With temperatures expected to reach a pleasant high of 73°F, it’s a perfect day to enjoy the great outdoors. So, whether you’re taking a stroll in one of our lovely parks or just relaxing in your backyard, make sure to soak in the sunshine!

But before you grab your sunglasses, there’s a little update regarding some roadwork in our area. Starting today, Monday, November 18th, the South Carolina Department of Transportation (SCDOT) will be kicking off some bridge repair work on Marcellus Rd. in Lexington County. This closure is expected to stretch until Friday, November 22nd, so it’s wise to plan your travels accordingly!

What’s Happening?

The SCDOT is serious about keeping our roads safe, so they’ll be temporarily shutting down Marcellus Rd. while they tackle some necessary repairs. We know detours can be frustrating, but don’t worry! A detour route will be set up to help you navigate around the affected area. Keep in mind that while Marcellus Rd. will be closed to through traffic, locals will still have access to their homes. It’s all hands on deck to complete this job efficiently and keep everyone safe.

Additionally, if you’re commuting via I-20, be prepared for some daytime lane closures as well. Crews will be working diligently, so SCDOT is encouraging drivers to slow down and stay alert. Look out for any signs or flags marking the sensitivity of this work zone.

Safety First!

While we’re all eager to get back to normal traffic patterns, the safety of both workers and drivers is paramount. SCDOT is utilizing various measures to ensure that everything goes smoothly. They’re advising everyone to be patient during this time and to watch out for crews hard at work. Just think of it as a little detour that will lead to better roads in the future!

Mild Nights Ahead

And for those of you wondering about the nights, we have some comfort as temperatures are expected to drop to a cozy low of near 50°F. It’ll be a perfect setting for snuggling up with a good movie or settling in with a book after a sunny day.

So, there you have it, Lexington! Enjoy this beautiful weather and steer clear of any roadwork detours. Let’s stay safe and have a wonderful week ahead.
