Route description
SC 768 is an urban highway that zig-zags from SC 48 to U.S. Route 76 (US 76) and 378 for 4.88 miles (7.85 km). The main stretch is Shop Road, where it is a four-lane divided highway and has an interchange with Interstate 77 (I-77); while Beltline Boulevard and Pineview Road are a two-lane with a median.[2]
History
The first SC 768 appeared from 1942-1948 as a spur off US 76, from Marion 4 miles (6.4 km) to Pitch Pot Swamp. It was downgraded to secondary status.
The current SC 768 was established between 1980–82, as a new primary routing; which has changed little since.[3]
Major intersections
The entire route is in Richland County.
