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 US 21, crossing over I-77 before splitting in Rock Hill. Going southwesterly around the downtown area, it overlaps with 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 teams-up with SC 161 and bypass 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.
