We passed the mic to a few of our Fort Mill officers to share tips that can help keep you, your family, and your belongings safe.

Crime prevention isn’t just about what officers do. It’s about the simple steps we can take on a daily basis.

Take a minute to hear what they have to say. You might pick up a reminder worth sharing with a neighbor, we believe it takes a collaborative effort to help protect our community.

🚧Detour Changes to N. White St. Utility Work🚧

As Town crews continue with urgent utility work along a stretch of N. White St. through Friday, Oct. 16, drivers should be aware of several changes to the surrounding detour routes.

Please plan ahead and follow these detours:

➡️ From Main Street: Drivers traveling onto N. White Street will continue to be detoured north onto Old Nation Road.

⚠️ Important: Both directions of Old Nation Road are now open and accessible for traffic, though southbound drivers will only be able to turn left onto N. White St. Traffic will not be allowed to turn right during this project.

➡️ From the Peach Stand area: Barricades are in place at the intersection of N. White St. and U.S. 21. Drivers will need to detour onto either the Fort Mill Bypass or Harris Street. (Please note, residents who live near Walter Elisha Park will be able to access N. White St. toward U.S. 21.)

Digital signs, detour signs and barricades are in place throughout the surrounding area. Drivers should use caution, follow posted signage and allow extra travel time. Alternate routes are encouraged when possible.

Fort Mill is investing in long-term solutions to improve traffic operations throughout our community. The Town has been awarded a Congestion Mitigation and Air Quality (CMAQ) Grant through the Rock Hill-Fort Mill Area Transportation Study Group (RFATS) to design, engineer and construct an Adaptive Traffic Control System in coordination with SCDOT. Once implemented, the system will continuously monitor traffic conditions and automatically adjust traffic signal timing in real time to improve traffic flow, reduce congestion, minimize unnecessary stops, and enhance travel during peak periods, special events, incidents, and roadway construction.

The design, engineering and construction of the adaptive traffic control system is expected to take approximately 18 months to complete.

The Town appreciates RFATS, S.C. Rep. David Martin, Sen. Michael Johnson, and SCDOT for their support of this important transportation project.
