Traffic Alert in Richland County Off Sunset Drive

COLUMBIA, SC (WOLO)– Drivers who use Sunset and North Main for their commute may want to look for a different route this week.

Richland County Officials say SCE&G will be closing the westbound lane of Sunset Drive at the intersection of Sunset Drive and North Main Street.

The closure will be between the hours of 7p.m. – 5a.m. daily through December  8th, weather permitting.

If you are traveling westbound on Sunset Drive toward North Main Street you will need to detour right, onto Phillips Street and then turn left onto Avondale Drive, say officials.

Drivers can then turn left onto North Main Street and then turn right to continue westbound on Sunset Drive. Traffic on North Main Street will flow as normal with reduced lane availability. Vehicles traveling from west to east on Sunset Drive will also flow as normal with reduced lane availability.
