Road work on US 123 and SC 153 in Easley

Road work to extend South Carolina 153 from its current end at U.S. 123 in Easley is underway by Thrift Development of Seneca. This project to lessen congestion and improve traffic flow on the east side of Easley is a two-year project, with an estimated completion date of August 2020. This week the contractor plans temporary day time and night time lane closings, necessary for the safety of workers. Motorists should expect delays and are urged to use caution in the work zones, especially around lane closings and other traffic control measures throughout the course of the project. Once completed, the South Carolina 153 extension will connect 153 at the 123 terminus with a point on Saluda Dam Road.
