There will be upcoming lane closures in Columbia County this week.
In preparation for this year’s Christmas in Columbia County event, the county is informing the public of two temporary road closures.
Beginning at 7 a.m. on Thursday, Dec. 5, road closures on Market Street and Main Street will remain closed until midnight.
“The purpose for closing the roadway is to reduce pedestrian/vehicle conflicts for the event. 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 Columbia County.
When approaching the Evans Towne Center area, Columbia County officials are asking drivers to pay extra attention to surroundings at all times and obey traffic control devices unless instructed by law enforcement to do otherwise.
“Pedestrians are asked to cross at marked mid-block pedestrian crosswalks and/or intersections with marked pedestrian crossings unless instructed differently by law enforcement,” stated a press release from Columbia County.
