I-185 end

According to the NHS map, I-185 ends at US 29 and Henrydale Drive. According to the SCDOT traffic counts, I-185 ends at US 29 and S-260. Presumably S-260 is Henrydale Drive. --NE2 23:05, 29 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

That is correct, S-260 is indeed Henrydale Ave.167.7.17.3 (talk) 18:06, 9 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Intent of this Interstate

Judging by its odd routing, avoiding a connection to I-85 on the west end, does anyone know or can source a reason as to why this road was constructed? It doesn't seem to serve a high-traffic purpose except a segment serving as a short bypass for US 25. For travel to and from downtown Greenville, I-385 seems to be the obviously cheaper and more straightforward route. It doesn't even really have the advantages of a beltway since it doesn't offer a much better routing to the northern or western ends of the city... only to a few small SE suburbs. --75.183.75.227 (talk) 02:25, 11 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

It was originally built as a spur route into Greenville, hence the odd first digit. As for the later construction south of I-85, presumably traffic to I-385 and/or the southeastern suburbs justified it. —C.Fred (talk) 02:38, 11 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

This road is deemed a failure, and has gone bankrupt

Yes - none of that is reflected by the article.

You and I are alike: neither of us are sufficiently invested in this road-related article to actually update it.

What I did was at least something: to point out its flaws and how to improve it. CapnZapp (talk) 16:24, 17 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]
