Route description
SC 5 begins with a semi-interchange with US 521, near Van Wyck. Going northwesterly nearly its entire route, it crosses the Catawba River, entering York County. In Lesslie, it joins US 21, crossing over I-77 before splitting in Rock Hill. Going southwesterly around the downtown area, it overlaps with SC 121 (Albright Highway); then going northwesterly again in, overlapping with SC 901 (Hackle Boulevard). SC 5 exits out of Rock Hill solo again towards York; where there, it teams-up with SC 161 and bypass northeasterly around the city. Continuing on its northwesterly direction, it reaches its final destination of Blacksburg, where it connects with US 29 before ending at I-85 (exit 102) and SC 198.
Speeds along the highway does not exceed 55 mph (89 km/h), in both urban and rural areas. The highway provides a direct route from both US 521 and I-85 to both York and Rock Hill.
History
Established as an original state highway, SC 5 originally traveled from SC 9, in Fort Lawn, through Rock Hill and York, to SC 8, in Blacksburg. In 1929 or 1930, SC 5 was extended south along new primary routing to SC 22, in Great Falls. In 1938, SC 5 was extended on both directions, connecting north to SC 18 and south to US 21, in Ridgeway.
In 1939, SC 5 hit its apex with its last extension south along US 21 through Columbia. Then continuing south, replacing parts of SC 3, SC 6 and SC 33, through Swansea, Denmark, Olar, and Fairfax, ending at US 17, in Hardeeville. It total length reached 243 miles (391 km).
In 1950, SC 5 was truncated at US 21/SC 322, in Rock Hill; its old alignment between Rock Hill and Columbia becoming solely US 21 and from Columbia to Hardeeville becoming US 321. In 1951 or 1952, its alignment between York and Kings Creek was rerouted replacing SC 324 and part of SC 55; its old alignment becoming SC 91, SC 211 and SC 907. In 1959, SC 5 was realigned onto a more direct routing between Rock Hill and York; its old alignment became part of SC 161 and SC 274. Between 1960-1962, SC 5 was extended to its current southern terminus with US 521, near Van Wyck. Between 1965-1967, US 21/SC 5 was given a freeway bypass around Lesslie, its old alignment becoming secondary road Lesslie Highway (S-46-6).[2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9]
In 1986, SC 5 was rerouted on bypass northwest around York, its old alignment through downtown becoming SC 5 Business. Around 2006-2009, SC 5 rerouted to its current northern terminus with I-85/SC 198, in Blacksburg; its old alignment was downgraded to secondary roads. In 2013, SC 5 was rerouted southwest around Rock Hill, along Albright Road and Heckle Boulevard; its old alignment downgraded to city roads with only its northern section of Main Street, between Cherry Road and Heckle Boulevard, converting into a connector.[10]
