Route description
editSC 247 begins at an intersection with SC 20 (North Main Street) in Belton, within Anderson County, where the roadway continues as Breazeale Street. This intersection is approximately 300 feet (91 m) from that highway's intersection with U.S. Route 76 (US 76) and US 178. SC 247 travels to the northeast and crosses over some railroad tracks before leaving the city limits. It crosses over West Prong Broadmouth Creek and Broad Mouth Creek. Farther to the northeast, it crosses the Saluda River on the Cooley Bridge. This crossing marks the Greenville County line. The highway winds its way to the north-northeast, through mostly rural areas of the county before meeting its northern terminus, an intersection with US 25 (Augusta Road) in Ware Place.[3]
