It was under construction from US 1/SR 4 to Doug Barnard Parkway. In 1974, SR 232 was open from Wrightsboro Road to US 1/SR 4. In 1977, the highway was redesignated as I-520. The next year, it was open from US 1/SR 4 to Doug Barnard Parkway. In 1986, the highway was under construction from Doug Barnard Parkway to SR 28. In 1998, this segment was opened. The next year, it was proposed to be extended to the South Carolina state line . In 2004, this extension was opened. In 2010, the highway was extended to its current eastern terminus in the northern part of North Augusta. In January 2015 , of I-520 were expanded to three lanes after starting work in February 2012 for a cost of $33 million.Exit list In accordance with MUTCD guidelines for auxiliary interstates, exit numbering is continuous across the state line and does not reset.
