Route description
SC 24 begins at an intersection with US 76/US 123 (East Main Street) in Westminster, within Oconee County, where the roadway continues as Oak Street. It travels to the southwest and immediately curves to the southeast before leaving the city limits. The highway passes by Pleasant Hill Cemetery and travels through rural areas of the county. Then, it has an intersection with SC 11. The highway continues traveling through rural areas of the county and has an intersection with SC 182 in Oakway. During a short east-northeast section, there is a very brief concurrency with SC 59. The highway passes by Hays Cemetery. SC 24 enters Anderson County and almost immediately has an interchange with I-85/SC 243. It crosses over part of Lake Hartwell on an unnamed bridge. A short distance later, it begins a concurrency with SC 187. The two highways cross over another part of the lake on the Calvin Wesley Belcher Bridge. It then enters West Gate, where SC 187 leaves the concurrency. SC 24 travels along the southern city limits of Centerville and passes just north of Anderson Regional Airport. In West Anderson, the highway passes Lakeside Middle School and intersects SC 28. About 1 mile (1.6 km) later, it enters the city limits of Anderson. Just under 4,000 feet (1,200 m) later, it meets its eastern terminus, an intersection with US 29 Bus./SC 28 Bus./SC 81 (Murray Avenue).[1][2]
