Highway 31 currently extends from Little River south to Highway 544 near Socastee. The extension of Highway 31 will be a project that continues from Highway 544 to Highway 707 toward Surfside Beach. This expansion has been in the works for years, and looks like they are about to receive the approvals to move forward with completion of the project. Carolina Bays Parkway makes for an easy community from North to South along the Grand Strand, and this extension will pull some of the traffic off an already congested Highway 707.
The project was originally proposed to be a 5.8 mile extension and continue all the way to Holmestown Road. Now the project has been shortened by approximately 2 miles which will piggy back an already approved widening project for Highway 707. This expansion project will span over Peachtree Road and the Intracoastal Waterway.
