History

The second incarnation of SC 80 was established in July 2002 as a new primary route running from SC 101 to US 29. In April 2005 it was extended to SC 14.
The first SC 80 existed from 1938 to 1964 as a new primary route from SC 182 in Fair Play to SC 24 in Anderson. It was decommissioned after Lake Hartwell created a gap in the highway with the most western part becoming part of SC 243 and the rest becoming Old Dobbins Bridge Road.
