What is the Myrtle Beach Renourishment project?

• The Charleston District awarded a contract to Great Lakes Dredge and Dock Company to place two million cubic yards of material on North Myrtle Beach, Myrtle Beach and Surfside/Garden City, equivalent to 200,000 dump trucks, along 26 miles of coastline. The renourishment is funded entirely by the Corps of Engineers and will cost $72 million. The project will help reduce the risk to life and infrastructure behind the dunes along the Grand Strand.

How can I get project updates?

• A project tracker is located on the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Charleston Districts website which will be updated daily to show the exact locations where the work in occurring and the beach is closed due to that work. Keep in mind the project moves quickly so a particular area is not closed for more than a few days at a time. Project updates are also available on the Charleston District, U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Facebook page @CharlestonCorps, Instagram @CharlestonCorps, and on X @CharlestonCorps.
