Sheep Farm Road set to open soon

The days are numbered for the bright orange cones and yellow flashing lights along Sheep Farm in Seneca.   DOT resident construction engineer Ryan Miller is reluctant to pick an exact day due to recent rain showers in the area, but said he thinks the opening would be the middle or latter part of next week. Seeding of the highway shoulders and blinking traffic lights are signs that, after what seem like two long years, the work is finally ending.  Four and half years ago, the DOT unveiled the potential routes Sheep Farm Road would traverse from its old terminus to Highway 28 at Tanglewood.  Officials anticipate the new five-lane road will divert some of the traffic on SC 28 in Bountyland as well as Highway 28 and U.S. 123 near Miracle Circle in Seneca, headed to and from area shopping centers.
