South Carolina Highway 75 (SC 75) is an 8.2-mile (13.2 km) state highway in the U.S. state of South Carolina. The road is a mainly rural road.
Route description
Its eastern terminus at the North Carolina state line at NC 75. SC 75 is a 55 mph (89 km/h) road for most of its existence, as it is here. After running for two miles (3 km) through the tip of Lancaster County, SC 75 overlaps US 521, running south. The road continues on with US 521 for five miles (8 km), before merging off near the town of Van Wyck. SC 75 heads in the town's direction and about 2 miles (3.2 km) past US 521 is the "downtown" of the tiny community. SC 75 bends to the left at a fork. From there, SC 75 only has one mile (1.6 km) left to live, so to speak, as it passes through Van Wyck's farmland and the AME Zion Church before ending at S.C. Highway 5 for its western terminus.[2]
History
Established in 1937 as a renumbering of SC 12, it originally ran from US 521 to the North Carolina state line in Hancock. By 1964, SC 75 was extended to its current western terminus at SC 5, in Van Wyck, replacing part of SC 504.[3]
