York County, SC – Drivers in Rock Hill should prepare for traffic delays Tuesday morning as a group of monks continues their “Walk for Peace” through York County, escorted by sheriff’s deputies along major routes.
According to the York County Sheriff’s Office, the group is currently traveling on Highway 21 (S. Anderson Road) near Rock Hill, stopping Monday evening at Catawba Baptist Church. Deputies are assisting with traffic safety and ensuring a secure escort during the walk.
Sheriff Kevin Tolson urged residents to remain patient and courteous, quoting Sheriff Breeden’s message: “Whether you agree or don’t agree, support or don’t support, let York County be remembered for its kindness and respect toward others.”
On Tuesday morning, the monks plan to continue north along Anderson Road to Cherry Road, eventually heading toward Fort Mill. Drivers should expect intermittent lane slowdowns and temporary backups throughout the corridor during the group’s passage.
The “Walk for Peace” event aims to promote compassion and unity during the monks’ multi-state journey. The Sheriff’s Office recommends motorists allow extra travel time and stay alert for pedestrians and patrol vehicles in the area.
