SCDOT Traffic Cams for Horry County Residents and visitors who've wished for new and better roads are having their wishes granted. During the past few years, the area has received a billion dollars worth of construction to make traveling to and through the Grand Strand much easier. Below are weekly project updates, along with any detours or lane closures. For more information on the new road network, visit the Myrtle Beach Area Chamber of Commerce or the South Carolina Department of Transportation. Note: On Grissom Parkway, expect lane closures beginning Wednesday, weather permitting, for guardrail repair at US 17 and various locations. Note: US 17 Business (Kings Highway) will have outside southbound lane closures from 27th Avenue North to 12th Avenue North throughout the week for sidewalk rehabilitation.
