01/25 Update – Barricades blocking access to Williamson Road will be removed on Jan 28, three days ahead of the revised schedule. Drivers will be able to turn left from Highway 93 onto Williamson, and those traveling along Williamson will be able to turn left onto Highway 93, which remains one-lane, one-way in this area. Vehicles headed eastbound along Highway 93 will continue to detour on to Perimeter Road.
Access to Williamson Rd. will be reopened on Jan. 28.
01/22 Update – The Williamson intersection reopening has been postponed to approximately Jan. 31 due to rain and low temps in the forecast. Weather cooperating, we’re hopeful this will be the only delay. See this blog and our Twitter feed for any additional updates.
01/18 Update – A temporary crosswalk has been established at Pine St. while Williamson Rd. is blocked. Once construction passes Williamson, the crosswalk at the intersection will be restored.
Main campus—Construction continues to move forward along S.C. Highway 93 as workers upgrade underground utilities and pipes to serve the main campus. Toward that end, Facilities will extend the existing barricades along Highway 93 to Centennial Boulevard beginning today (Monday, Jan. 14). Access to Williamson Road will remain available until Tuesday (Jan. 15), when workers will place barricades at the Williamson Road/Highway 93 intersection, which will block access to Williamson Road from Highway 93.
Street parking on Williamson Road will remain available and the gravel lot parking by the West Energy Plant will continue to be available.
Traffic will continue to flow one-way westbound on Highway 93 from the College Avenue to the Centennial Road intersections.
