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 Highway 22 highway in South Carolina

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]
