The City of North Myrtle Beach said that the work on their latest beach nourishment project is in full swing.
Under the plan, Great Lakes Dredge and Dock Company (GLDD) will first pump sand at the north end of the project area and proceed southward over an estimated 59-day period, spanning December and January.
The $72 million project will place two million cubic yards of material to renourish the 26 miles of Myrtle Beach coastline.
This renourishment, funded entirely by the Army Corps, will help reduce the risk to life and infrastructure behind the dunes along the Grand Strand.
