Lexington County, SC – Drivers in Batesburg-Leesville should avoid the 7100 block of Two Notch Road at Fairview Road this afternoon after downed power lines forced a full closure, according to the Lexington County Sheriff’s Department.
The closure, announced around mid-afternoon Friday, is expected to last until utility crews can safely remove the power lines and restore service to the area. Deputies are on scene directing traffic and urge motorists to find alternate routes.
According to officials, drivers can check real-time updates through a link posted in the sheriff’s department’s official social media comment section. There were no immediate reports of injuries or outages beyond the immediate area, but responders warned that icy conditions could further delay clearing efforts.
Residents and commuters traveling through Batesburg-Leesville or nearby Fairview Road should allow for extra travel time and stay alert for detours until the scene is cleared.
