Myrtle Beach Announces Temporary Road Closure for Waterline Installation
Details on the Road Closure
Myrtle Beach, S.C. – A significant portion of Old Bryan Drive, south of 29th Avenue North in Myrtle Beach, will be temporarily closed. This closure is due to installation crews working on a new 48-inch waterline in the area. City officials confirmed that the road would be closed on weekdays from 9 a.m. until 4 p.m. beginning on Wednesday.
The work zone is currently filled with construction materials ready for deployment, indicating the commencement of the installation work. The city promises to have this phase of the construction completed by Sept. 12.
Next Steps in the Project
Furthermore, another pipeline installation is scheduled to commence on Sept. 23 at the “Mama Canal” near Myrtle Beach Grand Prix and will extend to Old Bryan Drive to 33rd Avenue North before turning east towards Highway 17.
The Importance of the Waterline
The purpose of this new waterline is to strengthen the water supply system for both Myrtle Beach and North Myrtle Beach. The existing waterline, which has served the area for nearly 40 years, is being replaced as part of this effort. The entirety of the project is penciled to span six months, according to city announcements.
