ROCK HILL, S.C. — Ahead of the construction project's original Monday deadline, two lanes on the new Interstate 77 southbound bridge over the Catawba River opened Friday afternoon.
"Friday afternoon we expect to move the two southbound lanes over into the southbound [bridge]," South Carolina Department of Transportation Deputy Secretary for Engineering Leland Colvin told WCNC Charlotte Wednesday. "Then starting Saturday afternoon, we'll open up all four lanes in the northbound, and then sometime midday Sunday we'll have all for lanes open in the southbound direction."
