The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers is working on a proposed 28-mile expansion of S.C. 22 through Horry County, currently narrowing down from 22 to 14 potential routes. Public input meetings are being held to gather feedback on environmental impacts, including effects on private property and farmlands.

The Corps will include concerns regarding relocations and protected areas in its environmental impact statement. The final routes are expected to be reduced to three by 2028, with construction planned for 2030. Residents have expressed worries over the project’s impact on their community and farmland.
