Route description
editSC 145 is a two-lane rural highway that traverses from U.S. Route 1 (US 1) near McBee, through the county seat of Chesterfield, to the North Carolina state line. It also travels through forest and wildlife refuge areas. The entire route has been officially named the Carolinas Sandhills Parkway by the State of South Carolina.[2]
History
editThe first SC 145 appeared in 1941 or 1942 as a new primary route from SC 644 to US 15 north of Walterboro. In 1948, it was downgraded to secondary status, known today as McLeod Road.
The current SC 145 was established in 1960 as a renumbering of SC 85; little has changed since.[3]
