Lane Closure

The outside southbound lane on Hwy. 17 Bypass, from East Coast Honda to the Glenns Bay/Holmestown Road intersection, is currently closed for repair work due to washout issues caused by utility boring under the road. Contractors are working diligently and will re-open the lane just as soon as possible. The temporary closure could take up to 24 hours.
