Road Projects Impact on MOSP?
http://www.scdot.org/inside/pdfs/PublicHearings/CarolinaBays_handout.pdf
I found it interesting that the original plan called for Rte. 31 to intersect with 17 Bypass, which it seems would more directly reduce traffic on that route. The current plan is two miles shorter, saving a lot of expense.
I copied the map from the pdf and show it here, with comments below it.
Above you can see but not read an overall map of the Route 31 extension and the 707 widening. The latter project extends all the way from where 707 crosses 544 down to the CVS in Murrells Inlet, across 17 Bypass and over Sunnyside Ave. to Business 17 that runs along the marsh (Restaurant Row.)
The Carolina Bays (Rte. 31) extension will leave 544 and curve around and meet 707 north of the 707 intersection with Holmestown Road. Here's a closer look.
The On and Off Ramps will extend on both sides of 707 between Blue Stern Drive and Leonard Road on the left, just north of Moss Creek Road, where today you can see a big empty field.. Here's is the sat photo. In the pdf mentioned above, there is an overlay map of the cloverleaf.
If the project takes some of the traffic off Routes 17 Bypass and 17 Business, that would seem to be a good thing. But the effect will be north of us and the diverted northbound traffic will be heading out Holmestown Road and up 707 to get on Rte. 31.

The Unsecret Garden
With no secrets to conceal
A garden will reveal
Each facet of its glory
Every color being seen
Among the requisite green
Describes a detail of the story
Having nothing to hide
As her mood coincides
With the rites of the season
Respectful of the way
Her colors fade to gray
Not questioning the reasons
What seems to be conclusions
Is just shedding past illusions
Of scenes she left untold
The palettes of her history
Reflect no shades of mystery
So to not entrench her soul
No decisions must she make
To be real or to be fake
Cannot hide from her true color
While accepting without doubt
The new life that will sprout
The plan of nature's mother
To embrace the coming sequel
Which may or may not equal
The heritage of its past
With faith but not with envy
Her calm awaits the frenzy
When the time is right at last
Giving no excuses
Nor blaming past abuses
When her lushness is no longer
Assuring to return
With new lessons she will learn
To make her message stronger
She paints another chapter
While telling of its rapture
Makes no secret of its glory
This garden tells a story.
