SC 120 to 129  < 110 to 119 | Home | 130 to 139 >

From: Pinewood (Sumter County) To: Sumter (Sumter County). Total Length: 17.5 miles
ROUTE LOG SC 261: 0 - 0 SC 763 WB: 14.2 - 14.2 SC 763 EB: 0.7 - 14.9 US 76, US 378: 2.6 - 17.5		Creation: Created in 1941 or 1942 as new primary routing. Originally ran from US 76 south towards Pinewood, but before Pinewood, veered southeast across into Clarendon County, ending 3 miles south of SC 158 (current S-14-26) Belser Crossroads. There was a small gap between SC 261 and the Clarendon-Sumter Line. SC 120 was 28 miles long. Adjustments: In 1948, SC 120 was rerouted to end at SC 261 Pinewood, replacing SC 538. The old route into Clarendon became S-43-29 and S-14-41. Also, SC 120 north was truncated to SC 763. 1957 or 1958, SC 120 was re-extended north to US 76-378. Improvements: SC 120 was paved between S-43-29 and SC 763 at designation; all parts of SC 120 were paved from 1948 forward. The 2005 Official Map shows no multilane sections, Comment: SC 120 skirts the east edge of Manchester State Forest. If the new bridge over Lake Marion is built between Lone Star and Rimini, will SC 120 be renumbered or extended????

From: BUS Rock Hill (York County) To: Georgia State Line at North Augusta (Aiken County). The route continues as GA 121, then FL 121 to end at US 19-98 Lebanon FL. Total Length: 135.1 miles (SC + GA + FL 121 = 473 miles)

Ran the way it does now. Replaced SC 19 from the US 176 EB split below Whitmire south to the current US 25-SC 19 jct. Otherwise, SC 121 was multiplexed with other routes: US 25 below SC 19; SC 72 above Whitmire; US 21 on the Rock Hill Bypass. This is the 3rd SC 121. Adjustments: None Improvements: Paved since creation By 1964, SC 121 was 4-laned: North Augusta to S-2-33; Whitmire to US 176 WB; the brief US 21 Bus multiplex south of Rock Hill The Chester Bypass is shown as 4-lane in 1977. SC 121 was 4-laned from I-20 north to about S-19-429 in 1978. The Rock Hill Bypass above SC 5 was 4-laned in 1989 or 1990. Comment: SC 121 was created as a 3-state route. Was this meant to be US 121 at some point? Too late, now, with the designation of US 121 in VA-WV. While South Carolina could probably use a US Route that runs along SC 121, Georgia and Florida's parts are already surrounded by US Routes. The SC 72-121 multiplex is easily the longest current multiplex in the state, though the now defunct US 17-701 route was a little longer, and SC 2's multiplexes up to 1948 were quite lengthy as well.
Previous SC 121's:		SC 121 #1: Created in 1925 or 1926 as new routing. Ran from SC 27 (current US 78) Aiken northeast through Wagener and Pelion before ending at SC 2-12 (current US 1) in Springdale. This was renumbered as SC 215 in 1928. Today it is all part of SC 302 and the US 1-21 CONN. SC 121 #2:Appeared in 1929 or 1930, running from US 21 Branchville east through Bowman and ending at SC 31 (current US 176) Providence. In 1937 or 1938, SC 121 was extended along US 78 west to Bamberg County, then southwest ending at SC 65 (current SC 61) Farrell Crossroads. Also, SC 121 was extended east to US 15. In 1940, SC 121 was extended southwest to SC 362 and east to SC 6 Vance. This brought SC 121 to a total length of 39 miles. In 1948, SC 121 was truncated on both ends to run only from US 21 Branchville to US 15. The Bamberg County portion became S-5-18. SC 121 was re-extended from US 15 east to SC 310 Vance in 1951 or 1952. SC 121 was extended east from SC 310 to SC 6 in 1953. SC 121 was renumbered as SC 210 between 1962-64.

This was never mainline SC 121, the only business route in SC to have not been a mainline route first. Adjustments: None Improvements: No multilane segments shown on 2005 Official Map. Comment: SC 121 Business is multiplexed in its entirety with SC 72 Business. SC 121 Business was the route of original SC 7.

From: BUS Rock Hill (York County) To: Waterford Park Dr. (York County). Total Length: 5.1 miles
ROUTE LOG SC 72 Bus: 0 - 0 SC 5: 0.4 - 0.4 US 21 Bus: 0.3 - 0.7 US 21, SC 121: 2 - 2.7 I-77 (exit 79): 1.4 - 4.1 END SC 122: 1 - 5.1		Creation: Created as new primary routing in 1974 or 1975. Ran from SC 72 Bus east to I-77. This is the 2nd SC 122. Adjustments: SC 122 was extended east to its current end in 2001. Improvements: SC 122 was fully paved and multilane upon creation. Comment: SC 122 provides a direct link from I-77 to downtown Rock Hill. The SCDOT website indicates future plans to extend SC 122 east to US 521.
Previous SC 122's:		SC 122 #1: Appeared in 1941 or 1942 as new primary routing. Ran from SC 2 Cayce north to US 1-21/SC 2-5 (current US 1) West Columbia, about a mile away. In 1948, SC 122 was decommissioned. It appears SC 122 used Alexander St. and Axtell Dr.

From: (Pickens County) To: Greenville (Greenville County). Total Length: 6.3 miles
ROUTE LOG US 123: 0 - 0 Greenville-Pickens Line: 1.4 - 1.4 SC 253: 1.6 - 3 US 25: 0.5 - 3.5 US 123: 1.7 - 5.2 SC 81: 0.4 - 5.6 SC 20: 0.7 - 6.3		Creation: Created between 1968-70 as a renumbering of US 123 ALT and also US 123 east of Easly Bridge Road. Ran as it does today. This is the 2nd SC 124. Adjustments:None Improvements: SC 124's current routing was paved upon designation; SC 124 was also multilane east of US 123 in Greenville upon designation. Comment: SC 124 is the original route from Greenville west to Easley and beyond and was SC 2.
Previous SC 124's:		SC 124 #1: Appeared in 1941 or 1942 as new primary routing. Ran from US 1-76 split Columbia east and north to US 1 Dentsville, 6.7 miles away. In 1948, SC 124 was downgraded to S-40-33 Trenholm Rd.

From: Allendale (Allendale County) To: BUS North Augusta (Aiken County). Total Length: 55.5 miles
ROUTE LOG US 278, US 301: 0 - 0 SC 3: 8.4 - 8.4 Barnwell-Allendale Line: 11.1 - 19.5 Aiken-Barnwell Line: 11.1 - 30.6 SC 302: 12.2 - 42.8 US 278 EB, SC 28: 4.5 - 47.3 US 1, US 78, US 278 WB, SC 421: 4.9 - 52.2 US 25, SC 121: 2.1 - 54.3 US 25 Bus: 1.2 - 55.5		Creation: Created in 1937 or 1938, running as a short route between US 1-78 Hamburg and US 25 North Augusta. Adjustments: In 1953, SC 125 was rerouted in North Augusta to use Atomic Rd., plus extended south as new primary routing to Beech Island, then replaced the SC 28-64 corridor from Beech Island to the Savannah River Plant below Jackson (this was probably new construction of the 4-lane route - for the most part SC 28-64 used S-2-5). Between 1968-70, SC 125 was extended south through the Savannah River Plant and to Allendale, as it runs today. Within the SRP, the road had not been open to the public since 1953 but before that was SC 28. From the south end of SRP to Allendale was a replacement of part of SC 641. Improvements: SC 125 was fully paved upon designation. SC 125 was 4-laned between US 1-78 and the north end of SRP in 1953. Comment: SC 125 connects the Augusta area with the Allendale Area. Driving through the Savannah River Site was a unique experience in the 1980's (I haven't driven it since then, so don't know what it is like today). You had to get a pass at the gate and turn it in on the other side. There was no stopping anywhere within the facility, which was patrolled by government security forces. Often vehicles were searched before entry, and to top it off, if you reached the other side too quickly (speed limit was 55), they'd give you a speeding ticket! Also, some of the creeks had water with elevated temperatures, which was sometimes noticeable when driving by. SC 125 is also known as SRS Route A within the facility.

From: Clearwater (Aiken County) To: Belvedere (Aiken County). Total Length: 4.4 miles
ROUTE LOG SC 421: 0 - 0 US 1, US 78: 0.6 - 0.6 US 25, SC 121: 3.8 - 4.4		Creation: Created in 1939, running as it does today. Adjustments: None Improvements: SC 126 was paved between 1943-48; no multilane segments shown on 2005 Official Map. Comment: SC 126 provides a way to get to I-20 from the Clearwater Area while avoiding Augusta and N. Augusta.

ROUTE LOG US 221: 0 - 0 US 76, US 76 Bus: 3.7 - 3.7		Creation: Appeared by 1964 as a dotted line, and opened by 1967. Ran the way it does now. This is the 2nd SC 177. Adjustments:None Improvements: SC 127 has been fully paved since designation. No multilane sections shown on the 2005 Official Map. Comment: SC 127 serves as a southeast bypass of Laurens. SC 127 has a diamond interchange at S. Harper St.
Previous SC 127's:		SC 127 #1: Appeared in 1941 or 1942 as new primary routing. Ran from SC 9 (current SC 295) White Stone north through Glendale and Clifton before ending at US 29 near Cowpens. SC 127 was 8 miles long. In 1948, SC 127 was downgraded to S-42-30.
