How Closures Work
- Rolling closures: approximately 1,000 feet of shoreline closes around the active sand-pumping zone, for two to three days per section. As crews move on, each section reopens immediately.
- Temporary access maintained: walkovers and temporary routes are kept open around the work zone wherever possible.
- Fixed closure — 67th Avenue North: this Myrtle Beach access point stays closed until the Myrtle Beach segment is complete (expected July 2026), because it serves as an equipment corridor.
- 24/7 operations: expect lights and noise near the active zone at night — crews work around the clock.

- Myrtle Beach: the active work zone (check the tracker) plus the 67th Ave N access. Details →
- Surfside Beach & Garden City: fully open until construction arrives in July 2026. Surfside → Garden City →
Safety Around the Work Zone
The active zone is marked and closed for good reason: submerged pipeline, heavy machinery, and high-pressure sand slurry. Swim and sunbathe at any open section — outside the marked zone the beach and ocean are open as normal. If you’re unsure, the official tracker shows the exact boundaries of today’s closure.
