According to Lt. Tim Pearson, of the North Augusta Department of Public Safety (NADPS), a suspect in a North Augusta attempted robbery was arrested in Augusta on Tuesday.

It is almost finished: the Palmetto Parkway project has come miles in the last few months…and crews tell us, they expect to beat their December 31st deadline to open the parkway.

Team United, the contractor constructing phase 2 of the Palmetto Parkway (I-520) in North Augusta, will be paving on I-20 in the vicinity of exit 5 during the next few weeks.

In an e-mail to WJBF News Channel 6, Team United, the contractor constructing phase 2 of the Palmetto Parkway (I-520) in North Augusta, is proceeding with the replacement of U.S. Highway 25 bridge over I-20 at exit 5. The contractor will be setting the new beams across westbound I-20 the week of June 8th. This work will be done at night and will require closing a section of I-20.

Construction continues at the I-20 and Bobby Jones Expressway intersection, but the traffic headaches could be taken care of, with just the click of a button. WJBF News Channel 6’s Barclay Bishop has all the details.

According to a release, Team United, the contractor building phase 2 of the Palmetto Parkway, reminds all motorists that there will be intermittent lane closures during the daylight hours on US Highway 25, in the vicinity of Interstate 20, over the next two weeks. All motorists should be aware of this potential for delays and seek alternative routes when available.
