The Georgetown County Capital Projects Division will begin administering Phase 2 of a drainage improvement project in the Town of Andrews this week. This phase of the project includes clearing and grubbing, installation of a storm drain system, utility work, grading and paving.

The drainage improvements will involve the demolition of sections of the existing drainage system and the construction of a larger, more efficient system. The new system will begin with the primary outfall ditch north of the Hwy. 521 Bypass. The existing drainage ditch will be cleared, filled, and sections piped to connect to the proposed outfall ditch. New drainage pipes and stormwater structures will be installed along Myrtle Road to Pine Street.

Additionally, the project includes the replacement of roadways and concrete driveways, the construction of a gravel access road, and the relocation of water mains, sewer force mains, underground gas mains, and telecommunications infrastructure.

As the project progresses, updates will be provided to the public regarding work zones, lane or road closures, and any utility interruptions. Updates will be available at gtcounty.org, but workers will also send some communications directly to impacted residents.

Our staff appreciates your patience and understanding throughout this process and are committed to completing this project safely and efficiently while being mindful of property owners’ needs.
