SPARTANBURG COUNTY, S.C. — Two Spartanburg County bridges shut down to traffic Monday as the state transportation department started work on both, sending drivers onto signed detours.
The longer job is on Racetrack Road, also known as SC 234, where the South Carolina Department of Transportation is tearing out and rebuilding the span over Dildine Creek. SCDOT expects that stretch to stay closed until mid-summer 2027, and the date could move if weather slows crews.
The second closure is the Zimmerman Road bridge over Fairforest Creek, which is getting repairs rather than a full replacement. The agency is aiming to reopen it before the end of this year, again depending on the weather.
A third county crossing is already out of service. Since Oct. 16, traffic has been barred from the Pine Ridge Road crossing of the Middle Tyger River because of issues that need a closer look, and state engineers are still studying it. No date for fixing or reopening it will be set until they finish.
Drivers are asked to watch for posted detour routes and slow down near the work zones.
