Route description

SC 7 begins at an intersection with U.S. Route 17 (US 17; Savannah Highway) in West Ashley. Here, it also has an interchange with Interstate 526 (I-526). It heads east-northeast to an intersection with SC 61. A little while later, it meets the northern terminus of SC 171. Then, the highway crosses over the Ashley River.
