Interstate 185 (abbreviated I-185) is located in the city of Greenville, South Carolina. The northern portion, which was built through the central business district, was opened in the 1960s and is cosigned with United States Highway 29. The southern portion, which connects the I-85/I-185 interchange (exit 42) with the I-385/U.S. 276 interchange (exit 30), was opened as a toll road in 2001 ($1.25 per passenger vehicle). This extension was dubbed the "Southern Connector" and increased I-185 from three to seventeen miles in length.

[edit] Exit list

I-185 was planned as part of a continuous route through Greenville on this 1955 map. Note that Interstate 85 would have used the U.S. Route 29 corridor from Greenville east towards Spartanburg.
