South Carolina Highway 768 (SC 768) is a 4.880-mile (7.854 km) primary state highway in the U.S. state of South Carolina. It serves to connect businesses along Shop Road to nearby state highways.
SC 768 is an urban highway that zig-zags from SC 48 to U.S. Route 76 (US 76) and 378. 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]
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.[citation needed]
The current SC 768 was established between 1980–82, as a new primary routing; which has changed little since.
