South Carolina Highway 55 (SC 55) is a primary state highway in the U.S. state of South Carolina. It connects the city of Clover to Blacksburg, Rock Hill, and Charlotte, North Carolina.
SC 55 is a rural two-lane highway, with a median in and around Clover. It traverses 20.8 miles (33.5 km) from SC 5, near Kings Creek, to SC 49/SC 274, near Lake Wylie. Travelers to and from Charlotte, North Carolina would connect through SC 557, just east of Clover.
The first SC 55 appeared in either 1925 or 1926 as a new primary routing from SC 21, near Greenwood, to SC 24, in Friendship. By 1930, it was renumbered as part of SC 24 (today it is part of US 178).
