Keowee River Road temporarily closed

A short length state road that helps connect Oconee motorists traveling to Pickens County and back has been closed temporarily to allow the contractor to re-pave and make other improvements.  It’s the Keowee River Road, which connects between SC 130 and 183 in the vicinity of the Oconee Nuclear Station.  A spokesman for King Asphalt says motorists should rely on an alternate route through the traffic light intersection of the two highways, not far from the nuclear plant.  The re-worked Keowee River Road is scheduled to open June 4.
