Rain prevents contractor from meeting schedule

123 motorists will have to put up with a detour between Westminster and the Georgia line a while longer.  A DOT official says rainfall in the last several days has dealt S&S Construction “a major setback.”  The Anderson contractor won’t be able to meet Sunday’s deadline to restore the collapsed road side.  “Basically, we are waiting on the soil to dry out,” said Alan Adams, DOT resident construction engineer. “I don’t really have a good estimate yet as to how long it will take until the road is open, but we are making every attempt to expedite the process and get US 123 open ASAP.”
