As of June 2025, all RIDE 3 projects have not yet been completed.

With respect to Ride 4, there are two projects that have already gotten some traction:

1. SC Hwy 90 widening from East Cox Ferry Road to Little River ($745 million dollar budget)
2. River Oaks Drive Widening ($142 million dollar budget)

Horry County has already issued a Request for Proposal (RFP) seeking design bids for each of these two projects.

The River Oaks Drive project will entail widening of River Oaks Drive to 4-lanes with turn lanes at intersection including multimodal facilities (entire length). River Oaks Drive runs from Highway 501 west to International Drive.

There are several new home communities on the north side of River Oaks Drive that will be impacted by this project:

• Berkshire Forest - Pulte Homes first starting selling homes in Berkshire Forest in 2005 and completed development in Berkshire Forest in 2024. Berkshire Forest, with 925 single-family homes and 950 multi-family homes is the largest community in Carolina Forest.
• Village Oaks – A D. R. Horton new home community with 72 single family homes for sale in the back end of this community and 141 single family homes for rent in the front side of this community closer to River Oaks Drive. The 141 single family homes for lease are in the section named The Grove at Village Oaks.
• Traditions at Carolina Forest – A Chesapeake Homes new home community that began presales in the fall of 2024. Chesapeake Homes will be building over 300 single-family homes in Traditions at Carolina Forest.
• Belle Grove – A relatively mature community that completed development several years ago with close to 400 single family homes.
  

• North Cove – Mungo Homes will be building over 200 single family homes in North Cove. As of June 2025, land development is well underway. North Cove is one of several new home subdivisions that are going to be developed as the River Oaks Golf course prepares to close.
• Carolina Waterway Plantation – A relatively mature community adjacent to the Intracoastal Waterway that features custom homes. As of June of 2025, 256 out of the 364 single family homes have been developed. Construction within this new home community is continuing
• Waterway Palms Plantation– A relatively mature community adjacent to the Intracoastal Waterway that features custom homes. As of June of 2025, 493 out of the 750 single family homes have been developed. Construction within this new home community is continuing
• The Bluffs on the Waterway– A relatively mature community adjacent to the Intracoastal Waterway that features custom homes. As of June of 2025, 388 out of the 496 single family homes have been developed. Construction within this new home community is continuing
  

The first Horry County RIDE program began in 1996 and lasted until 2018. It used funding from the hospitality fee to complete 23 major projects, which included the SC 22 Conway Bypass, SC Highway 31, SC Highway 544 widening, Fantasy Harbor bridge and interchanges, and parts of Robert Grissom Parkway.

RIDE 2 was approved by voters in 2006 and began in 2007. It initiated a one-cent sales tax dedicated to roads. RIDE 2 brought 15 projects, which included the continuation of Highway 31, the construction of International Drive, the widening of Highway 707 and Glenns Bay Road, and a number of other road improvements.

RIDE 3 was approved by voters in 2016 and officially began in 2017, continuing the existing one-cent sales tax program with 20 more projects. Some RIDE 3 projects are already at or near completion, including the Palmetto Pointe Boulevard extension, Carolina Forest Boulevard widening, and Highway 501 frontage roads.

RIDE 3 expired in April of 2025. At that time, barring any further action, the one-cent sales tax funding collection will end and effectively cap the money available for the remaining projects on the RIDE 3 program list.

During the general election on Nov. 5, 2024, a voter referendum took place that approved the proposed RIDE 4 program.

Proposed RIDE 4 projects are located in unincorporated Horry County, within city and town limits, and along major highways and intersections.
Since approved by the voters, the RIDE 4 transportation tax will replace the existing one-cent sales tax (i.e. RIDE 3) with a one-cent transportation sales tax.

Over 25 years, the program would generate an estimated $6 billion in revenue to fund the list of predetermined infrastructure projects and project sets.
The complete list of RIDE 4 proposed projects can be found on the County website at https://www.horrycountysc.gov/ride-4/
