Horry County residents can review the proposed SC-22 extension at three public scoping meetings November 17–19. The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers is inviting feedback at the drop-in sessions. [1]
The county’s proposed new roadway is intended to ease congestion, support hurricane evacuation and improve access to services on both sides of the Waccamaw River, according to the official project website. The South Carolina Department of Transportation administers the project for Horry County, while the Corps leads the federal environmental review. [2]
Scoping helps identify issues for the Environmental Impact Statement, which examines potential social, economic and environmental effects and reasonable alternatives. The Corps and project team will be available to discuss those alternatives. The project website lists a later Draft EIS and public hearing as planned stages. [2]
Tuesday, November 17: Horry County Government and Justice Center, Multipurpose Rooms, 1301 Second Avenue, Conway, SC 29526. The drop-in session runs from 4 to 6 PM. [1]
Wednesday, November 18: James Frazier Community Center, 1370 Bucksport Road, Bucksport, SC 29527. The drop-in session runs from 4 to 6 PM. [1]
Thursday, November 19: South Strand Recreation Center, 9650 Scipio Lane, Myrtle Beach, SC 29588. The drop-in session runs from 4 to 6 PM. [1]
Each meeting provides the same information and comment opportunities. Prerecorded presentations are also available online. Scoping comments are accepted through December 4, 2026. [1]
Trust, but verify.
