South Carolina Highway 22, also known as the Conway Bypass and Veterans Parkway, is a four lane freeway that connects U.S. Highway 501 north of Conway, South Carolina to U.S. Highway 17 in Myrtle Beach. The road was opened to traffic on May 4, 2001, six months ahead of schedule. There is speculation that this could become part of Interstate 73 in the near future. However, the bypass shoulders are not wide enough to support interstate traffic and need to be widened before Interstate 73 can be designated along the bypass. To clarify, the road is interstate grade, except for the fact that the shoulders need to be paved. This will be the cheapest stretch of Interstate 73 due to that fact.
