Route description
SC 90 begins at an intersection with US 378 Truck/U.S. Route 501 Bus./US 701 Truck/SC 90 Truck in the census designated place (CDP) of Red Hill. SC 90, concurrent with US 378 Truck and US 701 Truck, travels east, first briefly through an area of industrial warehouses, then on an arc curving to the south past numerous houses. After turning to the east again, outside of Red Hill, the density of houses lining the road decreases. The truck routes split off at Old Reaves Ferry Road. Major roads that SC 90 intersects include International Drive (providing a connection to Robert Grissom Parkway in Myrtle Beach) and Old Reaves Ferry Road (providing a connection with SC 905). After an interchange with SC 22, the highway enters the community of Wampee. The highway curves to the southeast at S-Hwy 57 where it heads through open space and farmland.
