Paving underway on I-85 in AC

Repaving has begun on I-85 in Anderson County. The project is anticipated to take over a year to complete, so motorists are encouraged to slow down and watch for workers and equipment on the interstate. The South Carolina Department of Transportation announces lane closures on I-85 between mile markers 18 and 34. This 16-mile stretch of interstate is the most traveled section in Anderson County. One lane will be closed consistently and two lanes will be closed at times. Crews plan to work at night when two lanes must be closed. Work is expected to continue through July 2018.
