Emergency lane closure on I-85, Spartanburg County

DOT is closing the outside (right) lane on I-85 southbound at mile marker 77 in Spartanburg County for emergency repairs.  The problem is the failure of a concrete slab.  To minimize the time the lane will be off limits, DOT is using high early strengthening concrete to expedite the work.  Affected motorists are advised to consider alternate routes such as I-85 Business Southbound.
