Phase 2 of the I-26 traffic plan associated with construction of the Palmetto Commerce Interchange project will begin Sunday, July 14, 2024, with a series of intermittent nighttime lane closures along I-26 between US-78 and Ashley Phosphate. This phase of the traffic plan is designed to shift traffic away from the median to allow crews to construct the interchange bridge.
Below is a full breakdown of the scheduled lane closures.
Week of July 14, 2024: Single lane closure
- Work will occur Sunday night (7/14) through Thursday night (7/18)
- Crews will implement staggered eastbound and westbound single lane closures between 8 p.m. and 6 a.m. throughout the week.
- This work will include milling and paving of the temporary shoulder.
Week of July 21, 2024: No work scheduled
Week of July 28, 2024: Double lane closure
- Work will occur Sunday night (7/28) through Thursday night (8/1)
- Crews will implement staggered eastbound and westbound single lane closures between 8 p.m. and 6 a.m. throughout the week.
- During this time, crews will perform the lane shift work, which includes moving the barrier wall and changing the road pavement markings and striping.
As always, motorists are asked to use caution when traveling through the work area and comply with traffic control signs, reduced speed limits, and message board information.
The Palmetto Commerce Interchange project is designed to reduce congestion at surrounding intersections, offer additional travel routes, provide access to existing and planned developments, and improve overall mobility throughout the area.
