SCDOT is working closely with Dominion Energy and our state partners to make repairs to the damaged walkway over the Lake Murray dam. For now, a portion of the walkway is closed and will remain closed until the completion of the repair. (1/2)
Ahead of schedule, crews removed the lane closure from the southbound lane of this repair project. All lanes are open to travel southbound at this location. Work on the northbound side continues to move forward on schedule.
Please continue to drive cautiously through the area.
