Highway 2
South Carolina Highway 2 constitutes a 3.94 mile long loop in in Lexington County. S.C. 2 branches east from U.S. 21-176-321 (Charleston Highway) along Frink Street across the city of Cayce to State Street. State Street takes S.C. 12 north to U.S. 1 (Meeting Street) and U.S. 378 (Sunset Boulevard) in West Columbia. The short route is all that remains from a historic 200 plus mile long highway that ran across the state. S.C. 2 was mostly superseded by U.S. 76, U.S. 176 and U.S. 178 in the 1940s.

State Street carries S.C. 2 south to Frink Street west in an older commercial district of Cayce. The state highway crosses a set of Norfolk Southern Railroad tracks between Railroad Avenue and Cayce Street.
