Construction activities continue during the Grand Strand Renourishment project in North Myrtle Beach, South Carolina, Jan. 22, 2026, during a site visit by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, Charleston District. In December 2024, the Charleston District awarded a contract to Great Lakes Dredge and Dock Company to place approximately two million cubic yards of sand—equivalent to 200,000 dump trucks—along 26 miles of Myrtle Beach. Construction began on the northern end of North Myrtle Beach in December 2025. The $72 million project is fully funded by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers and is designed to reduce storm-related risks to life and infrastructure behind the dunes along the Grand Strand. The renourishment has performed as intended during recent storm events, including Hurricane Ian in 2022 and Hurricane Debby in 2024, reducing erosion and protecting coastal infrastructure.
