SCDOT

Today, in coordination with the South Carolina Department of Public Safety, we are conducting our annual hurricane lane reversal exercise.

This critical drill allows us to test lane reversal plans across the state's major evacuation routes. While no lanes are actually reversed during today’s exercise, this collaborative effort ensures SCDOT and SCDPS personnel are ready to manage traffic safely and smoothly in the event of a real evacuation.

We anticipate this exercise to be completed by early afternoon. If you are traveling today, you may see increased activity and flashing lights along evacuation routes. Please allow our crews the space they need to safely train.
