Creation: SC 81 appeared in 1925 or 1926 as new primary routing, running from SC 18 (now SC 28) Anderson southwest via Starr to the Georgia State Line. This is the only SC 81.
| Adjustments: By 1930, SC 81 was removed from Clyde Arnold Rd north of Starr. In 1935, SC 81 was extended north with SC 28 into Anderson, then replaced US 29 to end at SC 13 (now SC 124) Greenville. About 1940, SC 81 was removed from a mostly-closed loop road and a bit of S-4-709 between SC 187 and the Savannah River. In 1942, SC 81 south was truncated to end at SC 82 (now S-4-244/1161 jct) Starr, with the road to Georgia becoming SC 181. In 1949, SC 81 south was extended from Starr to SC 28 near McCormick, replacing SC 82. Between 1958-60, SC 81 was removed from S-4-2 Main St through Gluck and was moved from Main St to Murray Ave north of US 29 in Anderson. Main St remains part of SC 28 Business.
Between 1963-68, SC 81 was removed from the S-4-371 Bradley Rd and the A M Ellison Rd loops south of I-85. In 1969, SC 81 was removed from S-4-143 Old Anderson Rd and Old Anderson Rd on both sides of the Saluda River bridge. Between 1968-73, SC 81 was removed from S-4-52 Powdersville Rd/S-4-74 Three Bridges Rd/SC 153 in the Powdersville area.
In 2006, SC 81 was put on a bypass of Starr, leaving behind S-4-1163 and S-4-1161.
Improvements: SC 81's first pavement was from Anderson to Starr, in place about 1929. The extension north in 1935 was all on pavement. SC 81 became fully paved in 1942 (when it was truncated to Starr). SC 81 was 4-laned from Gluck to Anderson in 1961. In 1966 or 1967, SC 81 was 4-laned from central Anderson north to the edge of that city limit. In 1971, SC 81 was 4-laned from just south of US 25 to the Greenville City Limit. Between 1993-96, SC 81 was 4-laned down to Starr. In 2006, SC 81 was multilaned around Starr and south to Iva. In 2007 or 2008, SC 81 was multilane from the north Anderson City limit north to Webb Rd just north of I-85. Comment: SC 81 runs up the western edge of South Carolina. All of SC 81 below Starr is part of the Savannah River National Scenic Highway. | |||||||||||||
