South Carolina Highway 245 (SC 245) is a 5.060-mile-long (8.143 km) state highway in the U.S. state of South Carolina. The highway was built and paved in 1932 as a short spur of SC 24 passing north through Leesville to connect with SC 391.[2] Since being built, that section of SC 24 was redesignated as US 178 in 1933, and Leesville merged in 1992 with Batesburg, where US 1 and SC 391 intersect, to form the town of Batesburg-Leesville. It is known locally as North Lee Street north of the railroad tracks, and as South Lee Street south of the railroad tracks. There are two traffic lights along SC 245.[3]
