Georgetown County Council Approves Repairs to Murrells Inlet Marshwalk

A spokesperson for Georgetown County said repairs are supposed to be done immediately due to the urgent nature but that the area has been deemed safe for now.

The Georgetown County Council has approved an agreement about emergency repairs for the Murrells Inlet Marshwalk. The vote took place last night after a county document suggested there were “unsafe and failing structural components”. The Earthworks Group, a consulting firm, says wood along a section of the Marshwalk is significantly damaged due to age and exposure to the elements. A spokesperson for Georgetown County said repairs are supposed to be done immediately due to the urgent nature but that the area has been deemed safe for now. As of right now, the Marshwalk remains open and the areas of concern are marked.
