U.S. Route 52 Spur is an unsigned 2.98-mile (4.80 km) long spur of U.S. Route 52 in Charleston, South Carolina. It extends from U.S. Route 52 (where it is named Meeting Street) to Broad Street along the northeastern side of the peninsula of downtown Charleston. The route provides access for trucks to shipping terminals of the port on the Charleston peninsula: Union Pier and Columbus Street.
The entire route is in the city of Charleston. 1.29 miles (2.08 km) of the route is named Morrison Drive and the remaining 1.69 miles (2.72 km) is named East Bay Street.[4]
One section of the route, Morrison Drive near Jackson Street, will flood regularly during a spring tide. The eastern terminus is near the historic wharves of Charleston, including Adgers Wharf, which is now the site of a playground. It is also adjacent to the old Exchange, or Customs House, of Charleston. The current Customs House that was built around the time of the Civil War is on this route.
The section named Morrison Drive was constructed in the early 1950s.[5] It was named for William McG. Morrison, mayor of Charleston from 1953 to 1954.[6]
When Morrison Drive was constructed, there was still one private terminal operating near the Eastern terminus, the Clydeline Steamship Company. The Clydeline terminal burned down in 1955. In the late 80s, the land of the terminal was rebuilt as Charleston Waterfront Park.[7]
