Detour on U-S 76 to extend into the Summer

WGOG reports that by the end of next month, South Carolina DOT expects to have awarded a contract to rebuild a rural bridge in Oconee County. Helene’s fury disabled the Chauga River Bridge on U-S 76 between Westminster, SC, and Clayton, GA. Kelly Moore, spokeswoman for the DOT, said the procurement phase for the work is underway and the expectation is that DOT will have further timeline details after the contract is awarded. “At this point, we expect work to go through the summer of 2025,” she says.
