A semi-truck fire on I-26 eastbound near exit 205 (University Boulevard off-ramp) in North Charleston, S.C., caused two lanes to close and backed up traffic nearly 4 miles on Monday morning, December 1, 2025. Fire crews arrived around 8 a.m. to extinguish the blaze, with the roadway reopening later, though a small scene lingered until about 10:30 a.m. No injuries or cause were reported at the time.​
As of December 2, all lanes are clear and traffic is flowing normally in that area, per updates from SCDOT and local reports. Current I-26 eastbound conditions show separate lane closures for roadwork between mile markers 209-212 through December 5, but nothing at exit 205.​
