Carolina Bays Parkway Extension to start within a year

If you travel anywhere in Horry County - whether as a tourist or as a resident - there's going to be a lot of construction going on in 2010.

The final piece of the Carolina Bays Parkway - from SC 544 to SC 707 - is scheduled to see construction begin next summer. And at the same time, SC 707 will be widened to four lanes from the Parkway to US 17.

Currently, the final phases of design and right-of-way acquisition of the 4.2 mile extension is underway. Construction should begin next summer and completion in 2013.
