COLUMBIA, S.C. (WOLO)–We have a traffic alert if your commute takes you to Bush River Road. The South Carolina Department of Transportation has permanently closed the westbound I-26 off-ramp to Bush River Road. Access to Bush River Road from westbound I-26 will be available through the expanded Colonial Life Boulevard and I-126 Interchange. SCDOT says this is the third and final step to permanently change the traffic pattern on Bush River Road to allow for future improvements to the I-26/I-20/I-126 interchange.   Exiting to Bush River Road from I-26 westbound: Drivers traveling from I-26 westbound to Bush River Road will use the new Colonial Life Boulevard exit from the right lane on I-126 westbound just past St. Andrews Road.   The Department of Transportation to permanently close I-26 westbound off-ramp to Bush River Road (Photo: SCDOT)   Drivers are advised to use caution and follow all traffic signage as SCDOT continues to enhance the Carolina Crossroads corridor.
