COLUMBIA, SC (WOLO)– SC Secretary of Transportation Christy Hall says they plan to run lane reversals through Friday morning for the Hurricane Mathew evacuation.

Officials say it is important to note that if you get into the reverse lanes from the coast, know you are going all the way to Columbia. Make sure you have enough gas, say officials.

So far more than 200 thousand people have been evacuated from Charleston and Beaufort.

All lanes on I-26 will be moving westbound from I-526 in Charleston toward I-77 in Columbia.  Travel will only be possible in one direction while the evacuation is in progress.

Here’s Secretary Hall with the latest on Lane reversals.
