Winter weather has slowed Kings Highway improvements in downtown Myrtle Beach, but city engineers say construction still is on schedule for completion in May.

Construction began in February and workers have completed work on two blocks, said city engineer Patrick Sadek.

Improvements include the milling and resurfacing of Kings Highway, new curbs, gutters and sidewalks and crosswalks at every intersection that doesn’t have a traffic light, Sadek said.

Construction has taken place on each side of the street, beginning in the 700 block of Kings Highway North with closures of the lane closest to the curb in each direction, Sadek said. The work is moving south block by block until completed, with the project expected to end at Third Avenue South by May 30.
