From: SC 763 Sumter (Sumter County)
To: US 15 Hammetts Crossroads (Lee County)
Total Length: 26.6 miles

ROUTE LOG

US 521: 6.9 - 13.9
Lee-Sumter Line: 6.1 - 20
US 15: 6.6 - 26.6

Creation: Appeared as new state routing in 1940. Originally ran from SC 44 (current S-31-7) near Hammetts Crossroads southwest only to the Sumter County Line.
Adjustments: In 1941 or 1942, SC 441 was extended southwest across US 521 and ending at SC 261 near Statesburg.
In 1948, SC 441 was extended in both directions: west two miles to US 76 (replacing a piece of SC 261) and east 1 mile to US 15 (replacing a piece of SC 44)
In 1951 or 1952, SC 441 was rerouted at Pinckney Crossroads to head south to US 76-378 at Shaw AFB. The old route to Statesburg became S-43-28 and some of SC 261.
In 2001 or 2002, SC 441 was extended south to loop around to SC 763 near the Iris Lake Gardens. THis was partially new construction, but also overran parts of S-43-944 and S-43-204.
Improvements: SC 441 was partially paved in pieces in 1948. Fully paved by 1952. No multilane sections
