The South Carolina Department of Transportation
(SCDOT) has scheduled repairs to the Robert Edge Parkway in North Myrtle
Beach Sept. 8 through Sept. 25.
Work
will include repairing the approach slabs, replacing the damaged
roadway concrete, replacing and upgrading the expansion joint seals, and
replacing the damaged slope protection.
The
repairs are at the bridge approach slab on the west side of the
Intracoastal Waterway, which is the transition between the roadway and
the J. Bryan Floyd Bridge that spans the Waterway.
Detours will be posted using SC Highway 31 (Carolina Bays Parkway), SC Highway 9 and US Highway 17.
Key dates (weather permitting) in the repair project:
· Sept. 8 around midnight:
The eastbound (inbound) lanes on Robert Edge Parkway from US Highway 17
to beyond the bridge will close for approximately two weeks. During
this time, motorists will not be able to enter North Myrtle Beach using
Robert Edge Parkway but will have to do so via alternate routes.
· Sept. 14: After evening rush hour, westbound lanes and sidewalk will be closed.
