Summerville drivers are encouraged to detour while crews try to replace downed power lines

South Main Street and East Carolina Avenue in Summerville, S.C., have been closed while crews respond to downed power lines in the area, according to the Summerville Police Department.

What is happening

  • First responders and utility crews are working to secure and restore the downed power lines along South Main Street and East Carolina Avenue.
  • Large sections of that intersection are blocked off for public safety, since downed lines can carry live electricity and pose serious hazards.

Travel advice

  • Drivers are advised to use alternate routes and avoid the closed area until officials confirm it is safe and reopen the roads.
  • No estimated reopening time has been given yet, officials say this is a developing situation and recommend checking local news or police updates for when the closure may lift.
