The South Carolina Department of Transportation (SCDOT) has announced the completion and opening of the new US 601 bridge over Colonels Creek in Richland County. The previous structure was deemed structurally deficient, prompting a full replacement to ensure public safety. SCDOT expedited the project to minimize disruptions for motorists.
The newly constructed bridge adheres to current design and safety standards, offering a long-term solution for this key route. It is expected to improve durability and performance, benefiting both daily commuters and commercial traffic in the region. SCDOT expressed gratitude for the patience shown by local residents and drivers during the construction phase and advised caution as traffic patterns return to normal.
