I-585 - Spartanburg, South Carolina, 2.25 miles
- I-585 stretches from the I-85 Business Loop to U.S. 221. I-585 is Co-signed the entire length with U.S. 176 and uses its exit number system instead of its own. Between exits 23 and 24 the Interstate is considered at Grade before it exit with U.S. 221 and then quickly ends at the stoplight. The spur was once connected to Interstate 85 from 1957 till 1997. That year, I-85 was moved north to by-pass Spartanburg, leaving I-585 an orphan. There are plans in the future to extend I-585 along U.S. 176 to I-85's new location.
