Still like this in 2026 by the way.
Horry County Government? SCDOT?

Looks like SCDOT or Horry County Government needs to replace this overhead sign on SC 31 Northbound. It’s been about a month at least.

FORESTBROOK ROAD WIDENING UPDATE 🛣️

The Forestbrook Road widening project is about to enter the Construction Phase.

Our partners at SCDOT have completed the design and right of way acquisition phases for the 4.51-mile RIDE 3 project.

In December, SCDOT will accept construction bids for the project with road work anticipated to begin in Spring of 2026.

The project is expected to be completed in 2029 at an anticipated total cost of $110M.

When completed, Forestbrook Road will feature 5-lanes including a center turn-lane, wider travel lanes for bicyclists, and sidewalks for pedestrians.

The overall objectives for this RIDE-funded project is to increase road capacity, improve the flow of traffic, reduce congestion, strengthen access to other major roadways, and to improve overall safety.
