[[File:US 521 in Indian Land.jpg|thumb|US 521 in [[Indian Land, South Carolina]]]]
'''U.S. Route 521''' ('''US 521''') is a north–south [[United States Highway]] that traverses {{convert|177.3|mi}}, from [[Georgetown, South Carolina]], to [[Charlotte, North Carolina]]. Though numbered as an auxiliary route of [[U.S. Route 21|US 21]], it does not actually intersect its parent ''or'' any of its sibling routes, though it is in the same general part of the country as other routes from its family. Historically, it once connected to US 21 in [[Pineville, North Carolina]], but various changes have left it terminating a few miles short of the current US 21.
==Route description==
===South Carolina===
Starting at the city of [[Georgetown, South Carolina|Georgetown]], US 521 runs through the town [[Andrews, South Carolina|Andrews]] to [[Greeleyville, South Carolina|Greeleyville]]. From here to the city of [[Manning, South Carolina|Manning]] it is known as the Greeleyville Highway. There is a brief section right before Manning where it runs concurrent with [[South Carolina Highway 261|SC
===North Carolina===
US 521 traverses {{convert|3.8|mi|km}} from the [[South Carolina]] state line to [[Interstate 485 (North Carolina)|
==History==
Established in 1932, it was overlapped entirely with
In 1949, US 521 was rerouted in [[Williamsburg County, South Carolina|Williamsburg County]] to run directly from [[Andrews, South Carolina|Andrews]], through [[Salters, South Carolina|Salters]] and [[Greeleyville, South Carolina|Greeleyville]], to [[Manning, South Carolina|Manning]]; which replaced [[South Carolina Highway 171|SC
In 1969, US 521 was extended {{convert|19|mi|km}} north, via South Boulevard, and Wilkinson Blvd, then in 1981, by way of Woodlawn Road, and Billy Graham Parkway, to [[Interstate 85 in North Carolina|
Between 1986
In 1996, US 521 was rerouted onto [[Interstate 485 (North Carolina)|

==Future==
There are plans to make US 521 a four-lane highway from [[Georgetown, South Carolina|Georgetown]] to [[Interstate 95 in South Carolina|
