Great - another Christmas shopping season where that road won't be an option.

If you haven't went this way before they closed it you're going to bottom out your vehicle on the speed bumps....

Yeah, they said on the news that only one lane is open each way right now and the project isn't fully compete yet. Wait..it's got speed bumps?

I didn't see speedbumps this morning unless they were poured today. All the lanes were open this morning around 9:00. Things must have changed drastically during the day. Not sure why they would have speed bumps when the two roads it connects doesn't.

I just got done driving along Salters Road. No speed bumps, all lines were painted, four lanes were open, and no overgrown grass. Not sure what davetech is talking about.

Oh, you're talking about the section between Woodruff Road and Verdae Blvd. Makes sense now.

When I first read about this project, I did not understand why they were doing nothing with this part of Salters. Maybe it doesn't need widening, but it should be resurfaced, repainted, etc.

Yeah they should also realign the other end of Salters with the Mall Connector Road. Then people go right from the mall to Greenridge, Whole Foods, etc. without getting on Woodruff.

Yes agree....but that would make too much sense and that is not what we do with our roads in SC.
