SUMMARY: The Alligator Road widening project in Florence is nearing completion after seven years of construction, much to the relief of local residents. Spanning 7.5 miles, the road has been expanded to four lanes, alleviating daily traffic congestion and improving commute times, especially for school buses. The project, part of a six-road initiative funded by a 2006 sales tax, began in 2018 and included a second phase starting in 2021 to address increased traffic from the area’s rapid development. While some minor work remains, the finished project benefits thousands of daily travelers along Alligator Road.

Construction on the widening of Alligator Road in Florence appears finished with just a few touch ups here and there.

The project has been going on for years, and now about seven and a half miles of the road has been widened to four lanes.

SUMMARY: House Republicans narrowly passed President Donald Trump’s $4.5 trillion tax breaks and spending cuts bill, dubbed the “One Big Beautiful Bill,” with a 218-214 vote after an 8.5-hour speech by Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries opposing it. The legislation includes tax cuts, spending reductions, Medicaid cuts, rollback of solar energy credits, and increased defense and deportation funding. Supporters like Reps. Nancy Mace and Joe Wilson praised it as a promise kept and a new era of prosperity. Critics, including Rep. James Clyburn, condemned it as favoring the wealthy while harming healthcare and increasing debt. Trump is expected to sign it into law soon.

SUMMARY: Myrtle Beach has extended its juvenile curfew for a second night due to recent deadly shootings along Ocean Boulevard. The curfew for those under 18 now starts at 10 p.m., earlier than the usual midnight citywide curfew. Police use public announcements and patrols, including bike and vehicle units, to enforce the curfew, focusing on unsupervised teens. While the first night resulted in no citations, unsupervised teenagers could face fines up to \$500 or 30 days in jail. Despite the curfew, visitors continue to frequent downtown Myrtle Beach late into the evening, with some supporting the safety measure.

The second night of an extended 10 p.m. curfew for teens under 18 is underway in downtown Myrtle Beach, stretching from 13th Avenue South to 21st North and inland to parts of Broadway Street.

The curfew, typically starting at midnight, has been moved earlier this weekend following recent deadly shootings along Ocean Boulevard.

“We have a juvenile curfew that starts at 10 p.m. If you are under the age of 18, you must be at your final destination no later than 10 p.m.,” announced MBPD Chief Amy Prock over a recording that airs every thirty minutes along the Boardwalk and in Plyler Park.
