Photos of the Week

Myrtle Beach’s oceanfront boardwalk is getting a facelift, thanks to new deck boards that replace the original Southern yellow pine from a dozen years ago.  The new, wood-look decking is both more durable and more colorful.  The linear pattern adds visual appeal to the boardwalk, as you’ll see in the photos below.  The $3.7 million resurfacing project extends from Plyler Park to Eighth Avenue North.  Work is occurring in three phases with completion expected by late summer.  The boardwalk remains open during the re-decking, although portions are closed to foot traffic while work is underway.
