SC 56 is generally a two-lane rural highway that expands to a four-lane urban highway in Clinton and Spartanburg. It travels {{convert|63.3|mi|km}} in a north–south direction, though it is signed east–west; to make it more confusing, signage in [[Spartanburg, South Carolina|Spartanburg]] reverse the directions.{{clarify|date=January 2018}} SC 56 has a [[roundabout interchange]], known as Hearon Circle, with [[Interstate 85 Business (Spartanburg, South Carolina)|I-85 Business]]. In Clinton, signage that bypasses the downtown area use "TRUCK" instead of normal or bypass banners; though SC 56 Business is signed through the downtown area.<ref name=ClintonCity>{{cite map |publisher= South Carolina Department of Transportation |url= http://dbw.scdot.org/GISMapping/pdfs/City/Clinton_City.pdf |format= PDF |title= Clinton City |date= June 2010 |accessdate= February 8, 2013}}</ref><ref name=google>{{google maps | url=https://maps.google.com/maps?saddr=S+Carolina+56+E&daddr=34.396045,-81.8516616+to:34.699862,-81.828546+to:34.9467711,-81.9302997+to:S+Carolina+56+W&hl=en&ll=34.620777,-81.708069&spn=0.918779,1.783905&sll=34.994707,-81.993971&sspn=0.014291,0.027874&geocode=FYjYCQIdCYQe-w%3BFY3XDAId8wof-ymJ-I-XQ91XiDFp0zBi0wTjQw%3BFVZ6EQIdPmUf-ymdlncetr1XiDH_ymX0cYYKrg%3BFdM-FQIdxdcd-ymp33mhinVXiDFQ0rIoPN7OIg%3BFU0FFgIdgckc-w&mra=dme&mrsp=4&sz=16&via=1,2,3&t=p&z=10 | title=South Carolina Highway 56 | accessdate=February 8, 2013}}</ref> |

SC 56 was established in 1928 as a new primary route from [[South Carolina Highway 392|SC 392]] (today [[South Carolina Highway 39|SC 39]]) to [[U.S. Route 176 in South Carolina|U.S. Route 176]] (US 176) in [[Pauline, South Carolina|Pauline]]. In 1949, SC 56 was extended north, replacing US 176 to [[U.S. Route 29 in South Carolina|US 29]] in Spartanburg. In 1959, SC 56 was extended north, replacing US 176 along Asheville Highway to its current terminus at US 176. Sometime after 1990, SC 56 was bypassed southeast of downtown Clinton, leaving a business loop.<ref name=Mapmikey>{{cite web |url= |

South Carolina Highway 56 (SC 56) is a 63.700-mile (102.515 km) primary state highway in the state of South Carolina. The highway provides a back country alternative to Interstate 26 (I-26) from Clinton to Spartanburg.
Route description
[edit]SC 56 is generally a two-lane rural highway that expands to a four-lane urban highway in Clinton and Spartanburg. It travels 63.3 miles (101.9 km) in a north–south direction, though it is signed east–west; to make it more confusing, signage in Spartanburg reverse the directions.[clarification needed] SC 56 has a roundabout interchange, known as Hearon Circle, with I-85 Business. In Clinton, signage that bypasses the downtown area use "TRUCK" instead of normal or bypass banners; though SC 56 Business is signed through the downtown area.[5][6]
History
[edit]SC 56 was established in 1928 as a new primary route from SC 392 (today SC 39) to U.S. Route 176 (US 176) in Pauline. In 1949, SC 56 was extended north, replacing US 176 to US 29 in Spartanburg. In 1959, SC 56 was extended north, replacing US 176 along Asheville Highway to its current terminus at US 176. Sometime after 1990, SC 56 was bypassed southeast of downtown Clinton, leaving a business loop.[7][unreliable source]
