West Columbia’s Kinetic Derby Day committee is working with schools, artists, and businesses to engage broad community participation. To register to race or participate in the kinetic sculpture parade, for volunteer opportunities, and for more information, visit www.kineticderbyday.com . Registration ends April 20, 2019. The first 25 registrants will receive a yard sign to let friends and neighbors know about your participation and encourage them to join in.

West Columbia officials announced Nov. 6 that the Moffatt Street entrance of the West Columbia Riverwalk would close temporarily for an SC Department of Transportation bridge inspection. The entrance has now been reopened.

All lanes of I-26 west were closed Monday for several miles, near US 1 due to a jackknifed truck. The lanes were eventually opened and all was clear, according to the West Columbia Police Department.
