Portions of the intersection of Burnt Church Road and Bluffton Parkway will be closed later this week to repair a dip in the roadway.

The work will fix a flaw in the roadway that causes cars heading east on the parkway to dip severely as they enter the intersection with Burnt Church Road. The repair will cost about $50,000.

County spokeswoman Joy Nelson said the work will be done from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. between Wednesday and Friday this week. Detours and signage instructing motorists will be posted.
