Highway 178 Detour

County announces Highway 178 Road Closure for Improvement Project.

Beginning at approx. 3:00 PM on Sunday, Sept. 20 through approx. 3:00 PM on Friday, Sept. 25 Hwy. 178 will be closed to all traffic at the Hwy. 78 intersection.

The closure is necessary for crews to safely realign Hwy. 178 and Hwy. 78 as part of the Highway 78 Safety Improvement Project.

During the above-mentioned closure, all traffic will be detoured to Schoolhouse Rd. When Hwy. 178 is reopened to traffic on Friday, Sept. 25 the new traffic pattern (Hwy. 178 – Hwy. 78 realignment) will be in place.

The current alignment of Hwy. 178 and Hwy. 78, commonly referred to as “the fork,” will no longer be in place and all traffic will utilize the new intersection behind the Dorchester County Public Works complex.
