The Super Highway in Upstate South Carolina

A Highway Runs Through ItWhen U.S. Highway 29 between Greenville and Spartanburg was completed in 1946, it became the first modern super highway in the Upstate region. Known by many as the Super Highway, it was lauded as the "finest type in the country." Although it is technically a north-south highway, it takes a meandering course across piedmont ridges, adding side roads and economic development. The businesses that grew along the corridor created a new landscape for the region. J. Harley Bonds was a longtime furniture store owner who helped desegregate Greer High School. W.O. Ezell helped beautify Spartanburg with his landscaping. Authors William "Lynn" Duncan and Scott Withrow explore the fascinating history of this well-traveled Upstate highway.
