SCDOT to close I-26 Westbound Exit 187 and SC 27 on ramp in Berkeley County – September 14-24, 2025

Columbia, S.C. (September 12, 2025) – The South Carolina Department of Transportation will close the I-26 Westbound Exit 187 and the SC 27 on ramp to I-26 Eastbound in Berkeley County beginning September 14 at 9 p.m. This closure will allow crews to shift traffic on to the new SC 27 bridge. This work is part of the I-26 Widening and SC 27 Interchange Project. 

The closure will continue until September 24. During this time, SC 27 will remain open to traffic but will be shifted on to the new SC 27 bridge. SCDOT asks that drivers slow down and pay attention to crews and signs as they navigate on to the new bridge. 

As part of this closure, a detour route has been established. A map of the detour can be found below.
