Relax and take a ride as we travel from Greenville South Carolina to Charlotte North Carolina on Interstate 85. The road trip starts just outside of downtown Greenville and we end up in downtown Charlotte.

'I85 provides the major transportation route for the Upstate of South Carolina, linking together the major centers of 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, I85 bypasses Clemson and Anderson on the way to Greenville. Beginning at Anderson, I85 widens from four to six lanes. Near Powdersville, US 29 joins I85 and they run concurrently until they cross the Saluda River. I85 bypasses just south of Greenville but provides two links into the city via spur routes I185 and I385.

I85 also has direct exits to Greenville–Spartanburg International Airport, which serves the Greenville–Spartanburg metropolitan area. I85 then bypasses the city of Spartanburg to the north. Its original route is now signed as I85 Business (I85 Bus) and was approved by the American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials (AASHTO) on April 22, 1995. Near milemarker 70, I85 intersects with I26. The exits are signed as exits 70A for eastbound traffic and 70B for westbound traffic. North of Spartanburg, I85 narrows from six lanes back to four lanes and bypasses 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...

In North Carolina, I85 enters a relatively rural area near Kings Mountain before entering the Gastonia and Charlotte areas. In Charlotte, I85 bypasses Charlotte Douglas International Airport and turns northeastward just before reaching Uptown Charlotte; thus, I85 just bypasses uptown to the north where it junctions with I77.'
