Cherry Grove Dredging Project Concluded on April 30, 2017
The dredging of 24 canals and the minor channel from 42nd Avenue North to 62nd Avenue North in the Cherry Grove section of the city of North Myrtle Beach concluded on April 30, 2017.
The dredging project, which was to have begun in early October 2016, was delayed by Hurricane Matthew and began in early November 2016. Because of the hurricane delay, the original completion deadline of March 1, 2017 was extended to April 30, 2017 with U.S. Army Corps of Engineers approval.
All dredging logs have not yet been submitted for final confirmation but it is currently estimated that about 165,000 cubic yards of dredged material was transferred via pipeline to a spoils basin located off Little River Neck Road, bringing it very close to capacity. The original spoils basin, for years used to deposit dredged material from area marinas and other locations, was expanded and its walls heightened for the Cherry Grove project. The dredged material will dewater in the spoils basin and then be moved to a final disposal location.
The dredge path as permitted by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers was centered between the private property lines on both sides of the canals that were dredged.
The cost of the first dredge, including actual dredging and contingency; increasing the capacity of the spoils basin; engineering, design and bidding costs; construction administration and oversight; eventual removal of the dewatered dredge material from the spoils basin; marsh mitigation; oyster mitigation; easements; and debris removal amounts to about $8.2 million.
The Cherry Grove dredging project includes two planned dredges, the one just concluded, and, if required and if affordable, a second or “maintenance dredge” at some point in the future to remove material that sloughs or falls in from the sides of the newly cut dredge path over time or that may be deposited in the canals by currents and tidal action.
City of North Myrtle Beach to Mill and Pave Ocean Boulevard from 2nd Ave N to 14th Ave S
The North Myrtle Beach City Council has given the go-ahead for the City of North Myrtle Beach to mill and pave Ocean Boulevard from 2nd Avenue North to 14th Avenue South in two phases.The first phase of the work will run from 2nd Avenue North to 6th Avenue South and will occur May 8-12, so that the work will not interfere with the May 5-7 Divas Half Marathon & 5K or the May 13 Mayfest on Main festival. The estimated cost for this phase of the work is $265,000.
The project's second phase will run from 6th Avenue South to 14th Avenue South and will occur from May 14 until completed. The goal is to complete this phase of the work prior to Memorial Day weekend. If poor weather or other circumstances dictate that the work cannot be completed in that time frame, it will cease for the duration of Memorial Day weekend and begin again when vacation traffic has subsided, finishing prior to schools letting out and the start of the primary tourism season. The estimated cost for this phase of the work is $465,000.
A traffic plan will be issued soon. The objective is to keep two lanes open for traffic and two lanes closed for work.

The exclusive, “one-night only showing” of this insightful and chilling movie, based on the international bestselling novel by Patricia McCormick, and inspired by true accounts, is the story of a young girl, who journeys from a rural village in Nepal to a gritty brothel-prison in India.
The film illustrates the brutality of child trafficking, which affects millions of children around the world each year. Globally the average age of a trafficked girl is 13.

Over 400 masterpieces will be displayed in locally-owned venues, from renovated warehouses from the 1920’s to Smithsonian-qualified art galleries to upscale restaurants and start-up boutiques, in a mutual celebration of art and community. What was once one of South Carolina’s most prosperous agricultural communities now becomes a living art gallery as we continue to demonstrate the best of the Southeast and recognize the incredible talent we have to offer.
