Editing Interstate 385 (section)

==Route description==

After exit&nbsp;42, I-385 turns into I-385 Business (I-385 Bus.) and becomes East North Street and later—for northbound motorists only—Beattie Place. The business route promptly ends at [[U.S. Route 29 in South Carolina|US Highway&nbsp;29]] (US&nbsp;29; Church Street) near [[Bon Secours Wellness Arena]] in [[Downtown Greenville, South Carolina|downtown Greenville]].

The explosive economic growth of southern Greenville county is largely attributed to I-385 and its connection to the city of Greenville and the major cities of [[Atlanta]] and [[Charlotte, North Carolina|Charlotte]] (via I-85). This area is known by locals as the "Golden Strip".

I-385 features a rather unusual rest area in the median strip near [[Laurens, South Carolina|Laurens]] that serves both directions of traffic. It was completed as part of the original design of the [[U.S. Route 276|US&nbsp;276]] expressway in 1958, modeled after the type of single median-located rest areas shared by both north and southbound traffic (to save money). The design is similar to many of those built on turnpikes that predated the Interstate System.
