Drivers will have to avoid a section of a busy road in downtown Columbia for at least a week as repairs are being made.
All lanes of Blanding Street will be closed to traffic on the block between Main and Assembly streets, Columbia Water officials said Monday in a news release. That’s near the Hendrix and Villa Tronco restaurants and about half a mile from the South Carolina State House.
The section of Blanding Street is being shut down to conduct sewer line upgrades, according to the release.
The road will be closed on Wednesday, and it’s expected to remain blocked for repairs for at least a week, Columbia Water said.
“The City urges its citizens to reroute accordingly,” officials said in the release. “Columbia Water apologizes for any inconvenience that this may cause to our customers. We ask for your patience as we work to improve the infrastructure in your area.”
Anyone looking for more information on the traffic change, or those with questions and concerns, can call Columbia Water at 803-545-3300.
