Creation: Appeared in 1939 as new primary routing running from SC 48 east to US 76 in southern Columbia. This is the 2nd SC 16.
| Adjustments: In 1940, SC 16 was extended north from US 76 as new primary routing to end at SC 12. In 1948, SC 16 was downgraded to S-40-21 from SC 48 to US 76 and S-40-26 from US 76 to SC 12.
In 1964, SC 16 was re-established, from US 76-378/SC 760 north to SC 12, then replaced a renumbered S-40-21 all the way around to US 176. In 1982, SC 16 was extended west to SC 48, replacing S-40-21. This also left behind a US 76-SC 16 CONN, and SC 16 no longer touched SC 760.
Improvements: SC 16 was fully paved upon designation. The 1940 extension was not paved, but it was paved before 1946. All other SC 16 segments have been paved since. SC 16 was 4-laned between US 21-321 and US 1 when re-established in 1964. Between 1966-67, SC 16 was 4-laned from US 1 to SC 12. In 1968 or 1969, SC 16 was 4-laned from SC 12 to US 76-378. The 1982 extension to SC 48 was 4-laned at that time. SC 16 remains 2-lane from US 176 to US 21. Comment: SC 16 serves as a Beltline around 3 sides of Columbia. | Previous SC 16's:

SC 16 #1: An original state route. It ran from SC 2 (current US 176) Columbia north to Ridgeway, then west to Winnsboro, north to Chester, York, and Clover before heading into North Carolina, continuing as NC 16. Some maps 1922-24 show SC 16 using SC 555 through Killian and some show using US 21 avoiding Killian.
