Route description

SC 80 is a four-lane expressway, which begins at SC 14, on the backside of the Greenville-Spartanburg International Airport. Going in a northeasterly direction, the first 0.8 miles (1.3 km) include a narrow median before splitting into a divided highway. Top speed limit along the highway is 55 miles per hour (89 km/h) with several at-grade intersections and one grade separated intersection. The highway ends at Wade Hampton Boulevard (US 29). The highway is shared with truck routes of SC 101 and SC 290.[2]

History

The second incarnation of SC 80 was established in July 2002 as a new primary route running from SC 101 to US 29. In April 2005 it was extended to SC 14.

The first SC 80 existed from 1938 to 1964 as a new primary route from SC 182 in Fair Play to SC 24 in Anderson. It was decommissioned after Lake Hartwell created a gap in the highway with the most western part becoming part of SC 243 and the rest becoming Old Dobbins Bridge Road (S-4-22 and S-4-23).[3]
