South Carolina Highway 512 (SC 512) is a 24.250-mile (39.027 km) state highway in the U.S. state of South Carolina. The highway connects Cades and rural areas of northeastern Williamsburg County.
Route description
SC 512 begins at an intersection with U.S. Route 52 (US 52; Williamsburg County Highway) in Cades, Williamsburg County, where the roadway continues as Cade Road. It travels to the east-southeast and immediately enters the main part of Cades, where it crosses over some CSX railroad line. It continues to the east-southeast and crosses over McNamee and Paisley swamps before it intersects SC 261 (Hemingway Highway). The two highways travel concurrently to the southeast. Immediately, they cross over Boggy Swamp. They pass Battery Park Elementary School before traveling through Indiantown. Just to the east-southeast of Indiantown is where the two highways split. SC 512 travels to the southeast and crosses over Indiantown Swamp. It crosses over some railroad tracks and Poplar Hill Branch. After an intersection with SC 41/SC 51, it meets its eastern terminus, an intersection with SC 513 (County Line Road) on the Georgetown County line. Here, the roadway continues as a local road to the southeast.[2]
History
South Carolina Highway 94
South Carolina Highway 94 (SC 94) was a state highway that was established in 1938 as a renumbering of SC 41 on a path from U.S. Route 301 (US 301) west-northwest of New Zion to the community itself. In 1939, it was extended to the east-southeast to McIntosh Road in Douglas Swamp. The next year, its eastern terminus was extended to US 52 in Cades. In 1942, it was extended eastward again to SC 175 (now SC 261) in Coopers. Its western terminus was also extended to SC 54 northwest of New Zion. In 1947, it was decommissioned. Most of its path was downgraded to secondary roads. All of its path east of Cades is part of SC 512. The rest of its path is known as Salem Road and Cade Road.
