HIGHWAY 501 WIDENING CHECK-IN 🛣️
Work continues both day and night to create a more efficient Highway 501.
The busy stretch of highway between Gardner Lacy Road and SC 544 is expanding to six lanes to increase capacity in both directions and improve traffic flow.
This project is a collaborative effort between Horry County and the South Carolina Department of Transportation (SCDOT). It's one of several major projects funded through the RIDE 3 Program.
During the day, crews are working in the median to install storm drains. Overnight, crews are focused on asphalt buildup and base installation at the median crossovers.
Over the next few months, crews will install new traffic signal foundations in preparation for new signal poles, which are expected to be installed this winter.
This roadway improvement project is expected to wrap up in the Spring of 2027.

FIRE PREVENTION WEEK 2026 - CHARGE INTO FIRE SAFETY. SAFE CHARGING IS A SUPERPOWER

This year, the focused theme is centered on safe lithium-ion battery storage and charging, a problem right here in Horry County, in South Carolina, nationwide and worldwide.
