Route description

First sign for SC 262 east in Columbia (using the older style shield)

Starting from Garners Ferry Road, U.S. Route 76 (US 76) and US 378, it connects with Interstate 77 (I-77) before continuing on a relatively straight two-lane road to US 601.[2]

History

Established in 1937 or 1938 as a new primary route going east, it started off as a seven miles (11 km) paved stub road, going east from US 76. In 1940, it was extended along a dirt road to US 601; which was later paved by 1942. In 1948, it was briefly decommissioned, but reinstated a year later. Since its inception, it has served as the southern boundary for Fort Jackson for its entire length.[3]

The entire route is in Richland County.
