'''U.S. Route 521''' ('''US 521''') is a north–south [[United States
==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 261]]. In Manning SC 261 branches off and US 521 merges with [[U.S. Route 301 in South Carolina|US 301]] for a short distance. It crosses over [[Interstate 95 in South Carolina|
===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 SC
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 171]] and part of [[South Carolina Highway 261|SC 261]], the old alignment became part of [[South Carolina Highway 377|SC 377]] and [[South Carolina Highway 261|SC 261]]. Between 1962 and 1964, US 521 was rerouted at the [[Sumter County, South Carolina|Sumter]]-[[Kershaw County, South Carolina|Kershaw]] county line to [[Camden, South Carolina|Camden]]; the old alignment became an extension of [[South Carolina Highway 261|SC 261]].
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|I-85]] in [[Charlotte, North Carolina|Charlotte]].
Between 1986 and 1988, US 521 was moved west onto new highway west of [[Dalzell, South Carolina|Dalzell]], bypassing the town; the old alignment was downgraded to secondary roads.
In 1996, US 521 was rerouted onto [[Interstate 485 (North Carolina)|I-485]], between exits 61 and 65; the old alignment was downgraded to secondary roads. In 2003, the [[American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials]] (AASHTO) approved US 521 to be truncated at its current northern terminus at the Johnston Road/I-485 interchange; its old alignment north to I-85 was downgraded to secondary roads.<ref>{{cite web |publisher= North Carolina Department of Transportation |url= https://connect.ncdot.gov/resources/safety/Route%20Changes/Route%20Changes/US521_20030915.pdf |title= US 521 Route Change (2003-09-15)|date= September 15, 2003 |access-date= January 27, 2013}}</ref><ref name=Mapmikey>{{cite web |url=https://www.angelfire.com/sc3/scroads/us521.html|title=Mapmikey's South Carolina Highways Page: US 521|access-date=January 15, 2012}}{{sps|certain=yes|date=May 2022}}</ref><ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.vahighways.com/ncannex/route-log/us521.html|title=NCRoads.com: U.S. 521|access-date=January 15, 2012}}{{sps|certain=yes|date=May 2022}}</ref>

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