Fort Mill, South Carolina – Drivers traveling through Fort Mill are experiencing significant delays today along Highway 21 near Coltharp Road due to a community event, prompting officials to urge motorists to seek alternate routes.
According to the York County Sheriff’s Office, traffic congestion is tied to the Walk for Peace, which is taking place along portions of Hwy 21. Deputies reported slow-moving and stopped traffic in the area, particularly near the Coltharp Road corridor, as pedestrians and event-related safety measures impact normal traffic flow.
Officials say drivers heading north toward North Carolina may save time by avoiding Hwy 21 altogether. Law enforcement recommends using Highway 521 in Lancaster County, noting that it is currently moving faster and offers a smoother route for those traveling out of York County.
The affected stretch of road is located in Fort Mill (York County), just south of the Lancaster County line, a heavily traveled area during morning and midday hours. No estimated time has been provided for when traffic conditions will fully return to normal.
Deputies remain on scene assisting with traffic control and ensuring the safety of participants and drivers. Motorists are urged to slow down, remain alert, and follow any posted signs or instructions from law enforcement.
Drivers should expect continued delays while the event is underway and are encouraged to plan ahead, allow extra travel time, or use alternate routes when possible.
