[edit] Routing
From its southern terminus at U.S. 78/S.R. 10/S.R. 17 north of Thomson in McDuffie County, State Route 43 travels north. It passes over a branch of Strom Thurmond Lake, and enters Lincoln County. The route intersects State Route 220 in the southern portion of the county, and then continues north to Lincolnton, the county seat. In Lincolnton, State Route 43 becomes briefly cosigned with State Route 47. The two routes travel a short distance west to meet U.S. Route 378. At the intersection, State Routes 43 and 47 diverge; State Route 43 becomes cosigned with U.S. 378 northeast of the city, and S.R. 47 becomes cosigned with U.S. 378 west of the city. U.S. 378 and S.R. 43 remained cosigned to the South Carolina state line, where State Route 43 meets its northern terminus.
