===South Carolina=== <!-- keep short and sweet --> {{Main|Interstate 85 in South Carolina}} [[File:Junction of I-185 and I-85, Greenville, South Carolina (6120538540).jpg|thumb|I-85 southbound at interchange with I-185/US 29 in Greenville]] I-85 provides the major transportation route for [[the Upstate]] of [[South Carolina]], linking together the major centers of [[Greenville, South Carolina|Greenville]] and [[Spartanburg]] with regional centers of importance. In Spartanburg, [[BMW]] has a major manufacturing plant that can be seen from the highway. In South Carolina, I-85 bypasses [[Clemson, South Carolina|Clemson]] and [[Anderson, South Carolina|Anderson]] on the way to Greenville. Beginning at Anderson, I-85 widens from four to six lanes. Near [[Powdersville, South Carolina|Powdersville]], US 29 joins I-85 and they [[concurrency (road)|run concurrently]] until they cross the [[Saluda River]]. I-85 bypasses just south of Greenville but provides two links into the city via spur routes [[Interstate 185 (South Carolina)|I-185]] and [[Interstate 385|I-385]]. I-85 also has direct exits to [[Greenville–Spartanburg International Airport]], which serves the Greenville–Spartanburg metropolitan area. I-85 then bypasses the city of Spartanburg to the north. Its original route is now signed as [[Interstate 85 Business (Spartanburg, South Carolina)|I-85 Business]] (I-85 Bus) and was approved by the [[American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials]] (AASHTO) on April 22, 1995.<ref>{{cite web |url = http://www.interstate-guide.com/i-085.html |title = Interstate 85 |work = Interstate-Guide.com |access-date = May 27, 2007 |archive-date = May 14, 2012 |archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20120514101249/http://www.interstate-guide.com/i-085.html |url-status = dead }}{{self-published source|date=March 2017}}</ref>{{self-published inline|certain=y|date=March 2017}} Near milemarker 70, I-85 intersects with I-26. The exits are signed as exits 70A for eastbound traffic and 70B for westbound traffic. North of Spartanburg, I-85 narrows from six lanes back to four lanes and bypasses [[Gaffney, South Carolina|Gaffney]]. Much of the terrain between Spartanburg and the North Carolina border is rural in nature but congested to the state line due to its location near Charlotte.
