U.S. Route 276

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

U.S. Highway 276 is a spur of U.S. Highway 76. It currently runs generally northwesterly for 108 miles (174 km) from Mauldin, South Carolina at Interstate 185/Interstate 385 to Cove Creek, North Carolina at Interstate 40. It passes through Upstate (northwestern) South Carolina and western North Carolina.

U.S. 276 originally began at Laurens, South Carolina. It began at U.S. Highway 76 and ran northwestward along much of the current alignment of I-385, going through Gray Court, Fountain Inn and Simpsonville. When I-385 was extended to Interstate 26 near Laurens in the 1980s, U.S. 276 was truncated to its current location. [1]
