SCDOT road construction starts Monday, expect travel delays

AUGUSTA, Ga. (WRDW/WAGT) – Several roads will be impacted by road construction over the next several months, according to SCDOT.

Beginning Monday, the South Carolina Department of Transportation will temporarily close and detour part of Atomic Road in Aiken County for bridge repairs.

The closures are expected to last until August.

A detour route has been put in place as part of this closure.

The northbound and southbound sides of Atomic Road will be closed at the bridge sites during construction. Atomic Road will be open to local traffic only.

Starting Tuesday, road construction will begin on Broad Street between 15th Street and 13th Street.

The number of travel lanes will be reduced to one lane in each direction. Expect delays traveling through this area for the next several months.

Access to each property will be maintained during construction.

Drivers are encouraged to utilize alternate routes if possible. This will negatively impact traffic, especially those going to/from SRS in the early morning and afternoon hours.
