Route description
edit
SC 460 begins at the intersection SC 160 and Gold Hill Road, in Tega Cay. Traveling east, along Gold Hill Road, it connects with Interstate 77 (I-77), then soon after splits from Gold Hill Road at Deerfield Drive intersection, continuing as Springfield Parkway. Connecting with U.S. Route 21 (US 21), it begins a concurrency with SC 160 Truck, followed by a quick concurrency with US 21 Business. Reaching back with SC 160, on the eastern side of Fort Mill, the highway ends with SC 160 Truck.[1]
The speed limit for most of SC 460 is 45 miles per hour (72 km/h), with 35 miles per hour (56 km/h) around the I-77 interchange. The Gold Hill Road segment is four-lane with turning median; it is also known as the Becky Meacham-Richardson Highway, who served as a state representative for the Lake Wylie–Tega Cay area. The Springfield Parkway segment is two-lane with semi-controlled access.
