browse =South Carolina Highway 5 (abbreviated S.C. Highway 5 or SC 5) is a
state highway in theU.S. state ofSouth Carolina . It runs from U.S. Route 521 near Van Wyck toS.C. Highway 198 in Blacksburg.Eastern terminus
SC 5's eastern terminus is at a rare country interchange at US 521. This is one mile south of
Andrew Jackson State Park and approximately nine miles north of Lancaster.The drive
SC 5 begins as a rural road and runs at 55 MPH for most of the run before entering Rock Hill. SC 5 intersects Old Hickory RD nearly one and a quarter miles into its existence. Old Hickory is the main road to Van Wyck. A mile and a half further up the road, SC 5 serves as the western terminus for
S.C. Highway 75 . After crossing the CSX line, SC 5 rides for nearly seven miles before enteringRock Hill, South Carolina . There, it merges with US 21 northbound and becomes known as South Anderson Road.US 21 and SC 5 overlap for about four miles before US 21 merges off right after crossing
I-77 . However, immediately SC 5 becomes concurrent withS.C. Highway 72 . They quickly head off again, and SC 5 heads straight towards downtown Rock Hill, where it splits off and becomes two one-way roads for about a mile, and also where it crossesUS 21 Business andS.C. Highway 122 .One mile out of downtown Rock Hill, SC 5 crosses over
S.C. Highway 322 . From there, after a couple of suburban miles, SC 5 enters downtown York. One mile before entering, SC 5 spilts off a business route (described in detail later).Also, at that intersection, SC 5 becomes concurrent with
S.C. Highway 161 , where the combined highway crosses overS.C. Highway 49 nearly a mile and a half later.After rimriding the north side of York, SC 161 and SC 5 split their different ways. After leaving York, SC 5 is known as Black Highway. Eight miles after leaving York, SC 5 serves as the western terminus for
S.C. Highway 55 . Also, after running into SC 55, SC 5 serves as the northern terminus forS.C. Highway 97 .Another seven-mile or so stretch, SC 5 enters Blacksburg, SC 5 ends at the south end of the bridge that crosses
I-85 at exit 102.Western terminus
At the bridge at
I-85 exit 102 SC 5 ends into SC 198.C 5 Business
South Carolina Highway 5 Business begins on SC 5 just a mile and a half away from downtown York. It lasts for about two miles. Nearly a half-mile into SC 5 Business serves as the northern terminus of
S.C. Highway 324 .That is shortly followed by U.S. Route 321 Business and U.S. Route 321. After going another three-quarters of a mile, SC 5 BUS ends at SC 5 north of York.
