North Augusta connector route
U.S. Highway 25 Connector (US 25 Conn.) is a connector route of US 25 that is completely unsigned. Its entire length is in the southwestern part of Aiken County. Nearly all the highway is in the northern part of North Augusta, with a very brief portion within Belvedere. As its name implies, it serves to connect US 25/SC 121 with Interstate 520 (I-520).
The connector route begins at a dead end. It travels to the west-southwest and immediately has an interchange with I-520 (Palmetto Parkway). Just after this interchange, the highway begins a curve to the northwest and intersects the Palmetto Parkway Trail. A short distance later, it very briefly cuts across part of Belvedere and then meets its northern terminus, an intersection with US 25/SC 121 (Edgefield Road). This intersection is on the North Augusta–Belvedere line.
