South Carolina Highway 117 (SC 117) was a state highway that existed entirely in Calhoun County. It existed partially within the city limits of St. Matthews.

Route description[]

SC 117 began at an intersection with (now Kennedy Road) north-northwest of Orangeburg. It traveled to the east-northeast and intersected SC 210 (now US 21). It continued to the east-northeast and intersected SC 2 (now US 176) just before entering St. Matthews. In that town, it intersected SC 6/. The highway then proceeded to the north-northeast and intersected (now Ft. Motte Road). It then curved to the north-northwest for a short distance until it reached its eastern terminus, an intersection with (now Old Belleville Road and Purple Martin Road).

History[]

SC 117 was established in 1940 from SC 210 to SC 6/SC 691. In 1942, it was extended to its greatest extent (as described above). It was decommissioned in 1947. Its path was downgraded to a secondary road. Today, it is known as Burke Road, Chestnut Street, Herlong Avenue, and Old Belleville Road.
