South Carolina Highway 80 (SC 80) is a 5.620-mile (9.045 km) primary state highway in the state of South Carolina. The highway serves as a bypass, connecting SC 14 to U.S. Route 29 (US 29) in Greer.

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 US 29 (Wade Hampton Boulevard). The highway is shared with truck routes of SC 101 and SC 290.[3]

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 1937 to 1962 as a new primary route from SC 181 in Fair Play to SC 18 in Anderson. It was decommissioned after Lake Hartwell formed a gap in the highway with the westernmost part becoming part of SC 243 and the rest becoming Old Dobbins Bridge Road (S-4-22 and S-4-23).[4]

Major intersections

The entire route is in Greer.
