That road closure is going to be a nightmare with all of the traffic that uses that route. While they are disrupting the traffic, they should go ahead and put in a 4 lane bridge but the SCDOT doesn't have that level of forward thinking. That section of W. Georgia road has enough traffic to support 4 lanes and it will just continue to increase.
I believe they will make the bridge wide enough for 4 lanes.
But the priority to widen W. Georgia Rd, according to GPATS Horizon2040 is very low. Actually at the bottom of the list. Starting at #128, Hwy 25 to Fork Shoals, then #136 E. Standing Springs to Neely Ferry Rd; #137 Fork Shoals to E. Standing Springs; #138 Fork Shoals to Rocky Creek.
I contacted the Greenville News and they are going to investigate this issue.
What useful purpose do those lights even serve? I agree that it is annoying to see something that tax money was spent on go unused but I don't think those lights have a real use. My issue would go back to the funds wasted on initially installing them. They are largely a waste of electricity and source of light pollution with much of a useful purpose.
Interstate 85 from the Saluda River bridge/Anderson County line to south of mile marker 48 should be in position to be widened from six to eight lanes. This segment was widened from four to six lanes twenty years ago.
I-85 from MM 40 to Woodruff Rd is scheduled to be widened to 8 lanes. It's in the design phase right now.

wow, that's good to know - estimated start date? (I know that the Laurens Road/I85 interchange is expected to begin construction/re-configuration in 2024)
Highway 101 at Milford Church Road will get an all-way stop sign beginning November 7. Don't know if this is the permanent solution or the precursor to a traffic light.
The permanent solution to North Highway 101 and Milford Church Road would involve realigning Milford Churh Road north of the present intersection, adding a left turn lane from North Highway 101 northbound, and adding a traffic signal.
Why bother with an all way stop when North Highway 101 has three signalized intersections north of Locust Hill Road (South Carolina Highway 290)? Two of those intersections are bookends (North Rutherford Road, North McElhaney Road).

There is now a traffic signal at N Highway 101 and Milford Church Road.
