Myrtle Beach tracker · Counting since October 11, 2026
Myrtle Beach Tracker
Every road closure, water issue, outage, construction notice and transit alert the city's agencies, utilities and newsrooms reported across Myrtle Beach and the close-in metro, counted week by week. No login, no feed. Just the numbers, and where they landed.
What the numbers say
A steady week on the roads, with US 501 coming up most. Power was busier than the week before.
Half of Myrtle Beach's road incidents clear within 84 minutes. The longest ran 6.2 hours.
Measured from 450 with a start and end time, the last 2 weeks.
Half of Myrtle Beach's outages clear within 86 minutes. The longest ran 2 days.
Measured from 14 with a start and end time, the last 2 weeks.
Half of Myrtle Beach's construction notices clear within 66 minutes. The longest ran 21 hours.
Measured from 167 with a start and end time, the last 2 weeks.
Week by week
Construction notices rose from 73 to 95 last week. Road and power have held steady. Water and transit stayed quiet.
Weeks start on Sunday. One thing is counted once per place per day, and something that runs for days counts on the day it started. Brief lane blocks that cleared inside an hour are left out, closures scheduled to run longer than a week are roadworks rather than incidents, an outage counts when it left 10 or more customers without power, and stories about policy or funding are not incidents.
Where Myrtle Beach was hit this week
42 percent of road incidents in the last 7 days happened on four roads.
Areas, most affected first
284 placedWhat the map says
Tap a row to see it on the map.Areas are measured from Ocean Boulevard at 9th Avenue North in Myrtle Beach: within 2.5 miles is Downtown Myrtle Beach, within 8 miles (about where the Carolina Bays Parkway runs) is that side of Myrtle Beach, and beyond that is the metro. North Myrtle Beach is its own centre: anything within 4 miles of downtown North Myrtle Beach is placed there. An item with no coordinates is counted in the totals but not placed on the map. Corridors come from the road a source named. Interstates are split into the stretch north, south, east or west of downtown Myrtle Beach, since one number for a whole interstate hides where the trouble is. The areas are the incorporated towns of the Grand Strand from the Census Bureau's boundaries (public domain): Myrtle Beach, North Myrtle Beach, Surfside Beach, Conway, Loris, Aynor, Atlantic Beach, Briarcliffe Acres and Pawleys Island. Council districts are not drawn here. Unincorporated land, much of Horry County, is shown on the metro map.
Sources are read every ten minutes, and the counts are rebuilt whenever one of them publishes something new. Last counted Oct 26, 4:07 AM ET.
Only what these sources published. Nothing inferred. Counted once when an agency and a newsroom report the same thing.
