The Possum Trot Road extension, identified as Project D on the RIDE IV project list, is set to create significant changes in North Myrtle Beach. This proposed project aims to extend the state road across Highway 17, ultimately connecting it to Madison Drive. With an estimated cost of $23 million, the extension is expected to enhance traffic flow and accessibility in the area.
However, the project raises concerns for local businesses that may be affected by the construction. The potential displacement of businesses along the proposed route has sparked discussions among community members and business owners alike. Many are worried about the economic impact and the loss of established local enterprises that contribute to the vibrant community atmosphere.
As plans move forward, stakeholders are urged to consider the implications of the extension on local businesses and explore options to mitigate any negative effects. The community is closely monitoring the developments surrounding this significant infrastructure project.
