LOCAL KNOWLEDGE
What to Know Before Booking a Courier in Columbia
Columbia is a capital, a university town, and an army town at the meeting of three rivers. These six points shape a delivery.
Malfunction Junction
I-20, I-26, and I-126 meet northwest of downtown at an interchange locals call Malfunction Junction. It is being rebuilt in stages over several years, with shifting lanes and ramps.
Three Rivers
The Broad and Saluda rivers join at Columbia to form the Congaree, separating downtown from West Columbia, Cayce, and Lexington. A few bridges carry all the traffic, and they are slow at rush hour.
State Government and the University
The State House, state agencies, and a large university sit side by side downtown. Legislative sessions from January to May and the academic year both fill the streets and parking.
Game Days at the Stadium
Home football games bring about 80,000 people to the stadium south of downtown, next to the fairgrounds. Streets there close for hours, and the state fair fills the same area for twelve days in October.
The Army Post
The army training post takes up much of the east side, and its graduations bring thousands of visiting families. Deliveries on post need a sponsor, and hotels and restaurants nearby are busiest around graduation days.
Famously Hot
Columbia summers are among the hottest in the Southeast, with long runs of days in the upper 90s and sudden afternoon storms. Perishables go direct.
