Route description
SC 460 begins at the intersection SC 160 and Gold Hill Road, in Tega Cay. Traveling east, along Gold Hill Road, it connects with Interstate 77 (I-77), then soon after splits from Gold Hill Road at Deerfield Drive intersection, continuing as Springfield Parkway. Connecting with U.S. Route 21 (US 21), it begins a concurrency with SC 160 Truck, followed by a quick concurrency with US 21 Business. The highway again intersects SC 160, on the eastern side of Fort Mill, where SC 160 Truck ends.[1] The route continues south and west along Fort Mill Pkwy to its southern terminus at another intersection with US 21 Business.
The speed limit for most of SC 460 is 45 miles per hour (72 km/h), with 35 miles per hour (56 km/h) around the I-77 interchange. The Gold Hill Road segment is four-lane with turning median; it is also known as the Becky Meacham-Richardson Highway, who served as a state representative for the Lake Wylie–Tega Cay area. The Springfield Parkway and Fort Mill Pkwy segments are two-lane with semi-controlled access.
