There is an upcoming road closure in Columbia County starting Friday morning, Oct. 11.
From 8 a.m. to midnight today, Columbia County will close Antebellum Way to reduce pedestrian and vehicle conflicts in response to an event being hosted.
“Pedestrian traffic is expected to be extremely high in that area, as well as the areas surrounding Evans Towne Center Park, especially during ingress and egress times,” stated a press release from the Columbia County Board of Commissioners.
When driving in the area, Columbia County officials are requesting locals pay attention to their surroundings at all times, obey all traffic control and stay alert for pedestrians, especially children.
“Pedestrians are asked to cross at marked mid-block pedestrian crosswalks and/or intersections with marked presentation crossings unless instructed differently by law enforcement,” stated a press release from the Columbia County Board of Commissioners.
