The whole episode is reminiscent of what happened just over a month ago at I-20 and Columbia Highway in Aiken County. A tanker carrying a highly flammable liquid crashed under a bridge, and although no fire erupted, the chemical spill shut down I-20 for hours.
A fire and crash involving a tractor-trailer carrying fuel on Saturday morning caused an overpass to collapse, shutting down I-20 in both directions in Aiken County.
AIKEN — Because of roadwork, the South Carolina Department of Transportation, or SCDOT, is closing lanes temporarily this month on sections of Interstate 20 in Aiken County, according to recent news releases.
Officials said, a section of Interstate 20 near Aiken County will remain detoured until early next week following significant damage to an overpass bridge.
