South Carolina Highway 230 (SC 230) is a 21.3-mile-long (34.3 km) state highway in the U.S. state of South Carolina. The highway connects Sumter National Forest and North Augusta. Even though it is a north–south route on a map, it is signed as an east–west highway.

Route description

SC 230 begins at an intersection with SC 23 south of Johnson Crossroads, within Edgefield County, where the roadway continues as North Martintown Road. The western end of the highway travels through Sumter National Forest. It travels to the south-southwest and travels through Colliers, where it curves to the south. The highway gradually travels in more and more of a south-southeasterly direction. SC 230 crosses over Horn Creek. Just south of an intersection with Woodlawn Road and Briggs Road, the highway leaves the national forest and crosses over Anderson Branch. After curving back to the south, it crosses over Hardy Creek and Sweetwater Branch. The highway heads to the south-southeast again and travels through Poverty Hill. About 2,000 feet (610 m) later, it enters North Augusta, in which it is a major urban corridor. It crosses over Fox Creek and Pole Branch immediately before an interchange with Interstate 20 (I-20; Strom Thurmond Freeway). SC 230 has a short south section and passes underneath the North Augusta Greeneway. It then curves to the southeast before intersecting U.S. Route 25 Business (US 25 Bus.; Georgia Avenue). A few blocks later, it intersects US 25/SC 121 (Knox Avenue). Signage on eastbound SC 230 says that it ends here, but signage farther to the southeast shows that it continues concurrent with US 25/SC 121, which take on the Martintown Road name. The three highways intersect SC 125 (Atomic Road). Here, SC 230 meets its eastern terminus.^[1]
