The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers in South Carolina says work on the Grand Strand is almost complete. Earlier this year, crews began to replenish sand at beaches along the coast. The last site to tackle is Surfside Beach in Horry County.
Engineers released the following timeline this week:
Section 1: Holiday Drive to Holly Drive
Timeline: Now through mid-July
Section 2: Holiday Drive to 12th Ave. South
Timeline: Both Section 1 and Section 2 are expected to be completed by mid-July
Section 3: 5th Ave. North to Myrtle Beach State Park
Timeline: Expected to finish in mid-August
Section 4 (Final Stretch): Holly Ave. to Southern End
Timeline: Scheduled from mid-August through mid-to-late August, with final grading and finishing completed immediately following sand placement
Beachgoers can track closures online.
