Abstract:South Carolina's section of I-85 is 106 miles long, part of a route from Montgomery, Alabama, to Petersburg, Virginia. The first contract on I-85 in the State was awarded September 21, 1956, for a bridge over the Broad River in Cherokee County at a cost of $280,665. This was also the first contract in South Carolina's Interstate Program following President Dwight D. Eisenhower's signing of the Federal-Aid Highway Act of 1956. The last construction contract was awarded in January 1962 and the highway was finally opened its entire length in September 1964, the first of South Carolina's Interstate highways to be completed. Construction of I-85 in the State cost $267 million.
