South Carolina Highway 223 (SC 223) is a primary state highway in the U.S. state of South Carolina. It serves as a connector between Richburg and Landsford Canal State Park.
A state highway, state road, or state route is usually a road that is either numbered or maintained by a sub-national state or province. A road numbered by a state or province falls below numbered national highways in the hierarchy. Roads maintained by a state or province include both nationally numbered highways and un-numbered state highways. Depending on the state, "state highway" may be used for one meaning and "state road" or "state route" for the other.
South Carolina is a state in the Southeastern United States and the easternmost of the Deep South. It is bordered to the north by North Carolina, to the southeast by the Atlantic Ocean, and to the southwest by Georgia across the Savannah River.
Richburg is a town in Chester County, South Carolina, United States. The population was 275 at the 2010 census, down from 332 at the 2000 census.
SC 223 is a two-lane rural highway that traverses 6.7 miles (10.8 km) from SC 9 and SC 901 outside of Richburg to U.S. Route 21 (US 21) in the community of Landsford and Landsford Canal State Park. [2] [3]
South Carolina Highway 9 is a 258.3-mile-long (416 km) major state highway in the U.S. state of South Carolina. The route runs from North Myrtle Beach to the North Carolina border upstate. The road is currently the longest state highway in South Carolina. It is signed as a north–south highway though overall it runs in an east–west direction.
South Carolina Highway 901 (SC 901) is a primary state highway in the U.S. state of South Carolina. It serves as a slower alternate rural route to Interstate 77 (I-77) and the western bypass of Rock Hill.
The first SC 223 appeared from 1939-1940 as a spur off SC 22, renumbered as an extension of SC 901.
South Carolina Highway 22 (SC 22), also known as the Conway Bypass and Veterans Highway, is a four lane freeway that connects US 501 north of Conway, South Carolina to US 17 in Myrtle Beach. The road was opened to traffic on May 4, 2001, six months ahead of schedule. There is speculation that it could become part of Interstate 73 in the future. The road largely meets Interstate Highway standards, but in order to support increased Interstate traffic, its shoulders would need to be expanded to standard width.
The current SC 223 was established in 1940, connecting Richburg with US 21. In 1948, it was briefly downgraded as a secondary road, but was resurrected a year later after the road was fully paved; changed little since. [4]
The entire route is in Chester County.
