The week aheadWhat you need to know

Dial 10 digits

Beginning Saturday, callers will be required to dial the 843 area code from all landlines and cell phones.

Starting next month, a new 854 area code will begin to be phased into the eastern third of South Carolina in the 843 zone. Those currently assigned phone numbers will keep their 843 area codes, only new numbers may be assigned the 854 area code.

Numbers for certain services in a community, including 9-1-1 for police or fire/rescue emergencies, will remain unchanged, with just the three digits needed to dial.

Enterprise Road closures

Part of Enterprise Road from Hunter’s Horn Lane to Butler Road will close Monday and stay closed for about nine months for bridge construction.

The closure is part of the $190 million southern extension of S.C. 31 from S.C. 544 to near the Georgetown County line. The closure is expected to last until June and the extension is expected to be done by summer 2017, according to Horry County.
