North Myrtle Beach's Renourishment project

More equipment arrived this week for North Myrtle Beach's Renourishment project.

The city expects sand to be pumped starting Monday in the area of 55th Avenue North in Cherry Grove Beach.

The beach access and parking area there are closed. The project will consist of placing 750,000 cubic yards of sand, over 8.5 miles.

Crews will start at Cherry Grove and move south. Some argue the timing for the project is all wrong, while a couple we caught up with found an upside to seeing all that equipment.

The project is expected to end sometime in September.
