The one thing both locals and visitors don't like about Myrtle Beach is how long it takes to drive to anywhere else! The first two hours of your trip away from the beach - or your last two hours getting to the Grand Strand - have always been slow going. Local leaders have lamented for years that we are unable to offer our permanent residents and 14 million annual visitors true interstate highway access to Myrtle Beach.

Fortunately, the movement to change this has taken a big step forward recently. I-73 has been fast-tracked by the South Carolina Department of Transportation and identified as its number one priority, and the Federal DOT has declared it number five on their list of priority roads nationwide.

When complete, Interstate 73/74 will connect Myrtle Beach with Sault Ste. Marie, Michigan and all points in between. Details of the proposed route, and the impact this road will have on Myrtle Beach (and all points north) are available at http://www.i73.com/. Please take a minute to go there and express your support!

 Chris, I was visiting down there a few years back, and you are most defintiely right about the drive!  However, I felt that it was well worth it; I love it down there!

As a resident in an area that just had a new freeway constructed over the last 4 years, I must say you will definitely see a huge boost in activity.  The freeway that was built in Grand Rapids was more of a Beltline style freeway, but the commercial and residential construction boomed as is still growing around each and every exit.
