Ongoing construction in and around downtown Rock Hill means more detours and road closures over the next few months.

Next week, city officials expect extensive utility work around the site where a new park, office building and parking garage are under construction near the corner of East Main Street and Elizabeth Lane.

Workers will begin pipe installation and patching road cuts along Elizabeth Lane between East Black and East Main streets. Lane closures will be in effect along parts of several downtown streets, including East Main, East Black and Saluda streets and Elizabeth Lane.

Access to the Comporium Communications drive-thru window and the rear employee parking lot will remain open for the next two weeks. Currently, customers and employees can access those areas from Elizabeth Lane. By the end of the month, that access will switch to East Black Street.

The parking garage, office building and new Fountain Park are part of the city and Comporiums Old Town East redevelopment project to revitalize the east end of downtown Rock Hill.

Various road closures and detours are also expected next week in the Knowledge Park redevelopment area along West White and Laurel streets, just west of the downtown area.

Waterline construction along Laurel Street, from Peachtree to West White streets, is expected to continue. The intersection of Laurel and West White streets is expected to be closed during the day and reopened overnight.

For the next two weeks, West White Street, from Laurel Street to Stewart Avenue, is expected to be closed.

Property owners and residents will still have access to their properties in this area, city officials say.
