Lyttleton Street Closed in Dusty Bend
Lyttleton Street is closed between Dicey Ford Road and Broad Street in Dusty Bend due to a water main break. All traffic is being detoured onto Dicey Ford Road until further notice. We will provide an update once the road is reopened. Thank you for your patience and cooperation.
Wild Turkey Lane remains closed, as does Kendall Park walking trail and Sweet Gum trail connector between Scott Park and Woodward Park.
If your home or business sustained damage as a result of the storm, please contact Director of Planning & Development Shawn Putnam at 803-432-2421 x1153 or putnam@camdensc.org.
Crews continue to clean up downed trees, limbs and other storm debris. We appreciate your continued patience and cooperation, as many neighborhoods experienced extensive tree debris falling during the storm and clean up is taking longer than normal weekly yard debris pickup.
