The Drive from Irmo on I-26
- From Irmo Town Hall on Woodrow St, head to Lake Murray Blvd (SC-60) and take the ramp onto I-26 East toward Columbia, about 1.6 miles.
- Stay on I-26 East for about 5 miles, then keep left onto I-126 East (US-76) toward Downtown Columbia.

Prefer to stay off the interstate? Broad River Rd runs from the Irmo area to our address. It is about 8.5 miles, but in our check it took 19 to 21 minutes, a few minutes longer than I-26.
We checked both routes on November 13, 2026. Google Maps showed 17 minutes and 10.1 miles on I-26, and Bing Maps showed 17 minutes and 10.2 miles. Rush hour on I-26 can add time.
