News Summary

Starting January 6, 2025, both lanes of Atomic Road in Aiken County will experience temporary closures at various bridge locations for essential repairs. This construction is expected to last until August 2025, impacting daily commutes and potentially causing delays. While local traffic will have some access, through traffic should prepare for detours. Motorists are advised to plan their routes early and stay updated on traffic conditions to ensure safe travel during this construction period.

Aiken County to Experience Temporary Road Closure for Much-Needed Repairs

Attention, residents of Aiken County! Starting January 6, 2025, a part of Atomic Road will be temporarily closed as the South Carolina Department of Transportation (SCDOT) rolls up its sleeves for some serious bridge repairs. If you regularly drive on Atomic Road, you’ll want to be informed about how this might affect your daily commute.

What’s Happening?

Beginning in early January, both the northbound and southbound lanes of Atomic Road will be shut down at various bridge locations. This construction stint is expected to last several months, with an anticipated completion date in August 2025. That’s a substantial chunk of time, so it’s best to plan accordingly!

A Road Less Traveled

While Atomic Road will remain open for local traffic, it will be fully closed at the bridge sites aimed at reducing the risk and enhancing safety while the work is in progress. So if you live nearby, you may have access, but through traffic will have some adjustments to make.

Don’t Get Stuck! Here’s Your Detour!

For those who aren’t local or simply don’t want to crawl through construction traffic, a detour route has been set up. To help make the transition smoother, a detour map was shared on social media by North Augusta Public Safety on December 23, 2024. Be sure to check it out and map your journey wisely to avoid unnecessary delays!

Plan Ahead and Stay Safe

As you may know, construction can lead to unexpected delays and possible detours, so it’s highly recommended to plan your travel routes early and allow for some extra time to get where you need to go. Patience is key during these adjustments. Additionally, be on the lookout for any signage indicating changes and watch out for construction crews doing their job.

Intersection Alert!

On another note, if you’re passing through the intersection of Gordon Highway and Skyview Drive, be advised that as of January 6, 2025, traffic signals are reported to be nonfunctional. Proceed with caution in this area to ensure everyone’s safety while navigating around the repairs.

Staying Informed

It’s always wise to keep an ear to the ground for any updates, as construction timelines can sometimes shift. The goal of these repairs is to improve infrastructure and enhance safety for all who travel through Aiken County. So if you can, allow for a bit more time in your day and stay tuned for any announcements regarding the progress of the bridge repairs.

Wrap-Up

As construction crews get busy on Atomic Road, we can all do our part by being extra cautious and patient. The scenic route may be slightly altered, but let’s make sure to help each other out along the way. Here’s to better roads and safer travels in Aiken County!
