South Carolina Highway 5 (SC 5) is a primary state highway in the U.S. state of South Carolina. The highway connects the cities of Rock Hill, York and Blacksburg.
SC 5 begins with a semi-interchange with US 521 near Van Wyck. Going northwesterly nearly its entire route, it crosses the Catawba River entering York County. In Lesslie, it joins U.S. Route 21 (US 21), crossing over Interstate 77 (I-77) before splitting in Rock Hill. Going southwesterly around the downtown area, it overlaps SC 121 (Albright Highway); then going northwesterly again in, overlapping with SC 901 (Heckle Boulevard). SC 5 exits out of Rock Hill solo again towards York; where there, it joins SC 161 and bypasses northeasterly around the city. Continuing on its northwesterly direction, it reaches its final destination of Blacksburg, where it connects with US 29 before ending at I-85 (exit 102) and SC 198.
