The South Carolina Department of Transportation has officially launched their brand new 24/7 SC511 Travel Information Service.

Wondering if your commute will be clear, clogged or flooded? For AT&T, Sprint/Nextel, Comporium, Farmers Telephone, Horry Telephone, Sandhill Telephone, West Carolina, Time Warner and Spirit Telecom customers, all you need to do is dial 511. For other carriers, the back door number is (877) 511-4672.

If you're a fan of the internet, you can also check road conditions by logging on to www.511SC.org.

The Post and Courier has the details on the new service; read it here.
