Robert Grissom Parkway is based on a road planned as early as 1979. In 1996, sections of Central Parkway, a road planned by Burroughs & Chapin, were already complete between 21st Avenue North and 38th Avenue North, and between 44th Avenue North and 48th Avenue North. Taken over as of 1996 by

84-517: A median between 10th Avenue North and 21st Avenue North, was under construction as a RIDE project. In five years, the road was expected to run from Harrelson Boulevard across U.S. 501 and U.S. 17 Bypass to 62nd Avenue North, which would connect to Carolina Bays Parkway . By February 1999, plans called for Central Parkway to connect directly to Carolina Bays Parkway rather than to an extended 62nd Avenue North. Robert "Bob" Grissom served as Myrtle Beach mayor 12 years, longer than any other mayor, and on

An unpaved road called International Drive connected to S.C. 90 , but provided no access to other main roads. A year later, the road still had not been paved, but by 2009 there was a plan to do so, though as of 2016 the project was still delayed. Grissom Parkway had become very popular with tourists, people living in

SC 707 curves to the northeast and heads through a more wooded area where it passes trailer parks and St. James High School . Continuing north, a small business district is built up around the intersection of SC 707 and Holmestown Road. After passing

However, in the western provinces, the two parallel Trans-Canada routes are consistently numbered with Trans-Canada route markers; as Highways 1 and 16 respectively. Canada also has a designated National Highway System , but

Roads maintained by a state or province include both nationally numbered highways and un-numbered state highways. Depending on the state, "state highway" may be used for one meaning and "state road" or "state route" for the other. In some countries such as New Zealand ,

The state highway that cross towns or villages with a population of less than 10,000 inhabitants are urban roads (type D and E) under the jurisdiction of the municipality, subject to authorization from ANAS . State highways in India are numbered highways that are laid and maintained by state governments . Mexico 's State Highway System

The roads have a four-digit numbering grouped as two pairs, pairs are separated by a dash. First pair represents the license number of that province . State highways are generally a mixture of primary and secondary roads, although some are freeways (for example, State Route 99 in California, which links many of

The highways in New Zealand are all state highways, and the network consists of SH 1 running the length of both main islands, SH 2–5 and 10–58 in the North Island, and SH 6–8 and 60–99 in the South Island. National and provincial highways are numbered approximately north to south. State Highway 1 runs the length of both islands.

All states except the Federal District operate a road network. Each state marks these routes with a white shield containing the abbreviated name of the state plus the route number. New Zealand state highways are national highways –

Right of way acquisitions were set to begin late in 2010 with construction starting in spring or summer of 2011. However, the SC ;31 extension and the SC 707 widening were combined into one project in 2010, and in March of that year changes were made to plans for

There is also the national transcontinental Trans-Canada Highway system, which is marked by distinct signs, but has no uniform numeric designation across the country. In the eastern provinces, for instance, an unnumbered (though sometimes with

The Italian state highway network are maintained by ANAS . From 1928 until 1946 state highways were maintained by Azienda Autonoma Statale della Strada (AASS). The next level of roads below Strada Statali is Strada Regionale ("regional roads"). The routes of some state highways derive from ancient Roman roads , such as

SC 707 continues east on the five-lane Socastee Boulevard (two travel lanes in each direction and a center turn lane ) past Socastee High School , numerous businesses, Socastee Elementary School, and trailer parks. Nearing the end, the highway sharply curves to the south at Macklen Road, enters the city limits of Myrtle Beach , and shortly thereafter ends at an interchange with US 17 outside of

Most federal states use the term Landesstraße (marked with 'L'), while for historical reasons Saxony and Bavaria use the term Staatsstraße (marked with 'S'). The appearance of the shields differs from state to state. The term Land-es-straße should not be confused with Landstraße , which describes every road outside built-up areas and

672-557: The Market Common . The roadway passes under US 17 and continues as Farrow Parkway . SC 707 began as an unpaved cow path in an area that was once largely rural. In the late 1970s, the route that SC 707 currently takes was previously signed as SC 544 from Murrells Inlet to the current intersection of Dick Pond Road in Socastee. At that time, SC 707 began at Socastee, followed Socastee Boulevard and parts of

One of the first priorities for Horry County's program 'Riding on a Penny' was to build a grade-separated interchange connecting the two roads together. The projected cost of

The concrete plant owned by Grissom fell victim to the road named for him. On April 5, 2002, the section between Harrelson Boulevard and U.S. 501 opened. On May 6, the section between U.S. 501 and Mr. Joe White Avenue (formerly 10th Avenue North) opened. This

With the section of Central Parkway leading to the stadium opening in April 1999, the city made the decision to honor the late mayor by naming it Robert M. Grissom Parkway. The name change took effect immediately between 10th Avenue North and 29th Avenue North, with other sections to be renamed in stages. Additional work on Grissom Parkway began in March 2001, with three sections of

As with the National Routes and National Highways, State Routes are being phased out in most states and territories in favour of alphanumeric routes. However, despite

The road continues to travel northeast through a mix of treed areas and housing complexes. Entering the CDP of Socastee, SC 707 reaches the ramps to and from eastbound SC 544 .

Because the area has experienced rapid growth within recent years, and because of increased traffic expected from the completion of SC 31 to SC 707, the South Carolina Department of Transportation (SCDOT) has decided to widen the highway from near Enterprise Road south of SC 544 to US 17 near the Horry–Georgetown county line.

The $ 105 million SC 707 project was expected to be finished in Spring 2017. Due to delays stemming from weather, both the SC 31 extension and SC 707 widening projects were expected to be completed in the summer of 2018. The intersection of SC 707 with US 17 at Farrow Parkway, known as

1428-476: The project was $ 49,500,000. The recommended configuration of the interchange, due to limiting right-of-way space and heavy traffic demands, is a single-point urban interchange . Also, US 17 must go over a 35-foot-high, 1,200-foot-long bridge because the soil cannot support a stronger bridge without work that would have delayed the project. As of April 2010, the projected cost had more than doubled to $ 107 million. Interchange construction began June 6, 2011, and

1470-464: The projected completion date was August 2014. Soil conditions and weather caused many delays. On October 23, 2014, a ribbon cutting took place for the completion of what became a $ 121.7 million project. The southbound lanes opened earlier that week, and the northbound lanes were opening the next week. Pavement markings, signs and other details would not be complete until November. The project also included more turn lanes on US 17, frontage roads, and
