Creation: I-20 first appeared on the 1964 Official Map. It was shown as under construction from SC 6 Lexington to the Wateree River below Camden.
| Adjustments: By 1967, I-20 was shown as open from the Georgia Line to US 25-SC 121 and from SC 6 to S-40-53 Pontiac. Additional construction shown was from US 25/SC 121 to US 1. All other segments are shown as proposed. In 1968 or 1969, I-20 was opened from Pontiac to US 601. Additonally, I-20 was under construction from US 25 to SC 6 and from US 601 to US 521. In 1970, I-20 was shown under construction from US 521 to I-95. In 1971, I-20 opened between US 25/SC 121 and SC 6. In 1973, I-20 was opened from US 601 to US 521. In 1974, I-20 was opened from US 521 to US 15. In 1975, I-20 was opened from US 15 to US 401. In 1976, the last piece of I-20 opened, from US 401 to I-95. Improvements: 4 lane freeway at inception. I don't believe any 6-lane sections were initially built. I-20 was widened to 6 lanes between US 1 Lexington and I believe I-77, in stages, beginning I think in the late 1980s. I seem to recall big traffic problems in the SC 215 to US 21 stretch when I was in high school (mid 80s). At least one exit was not part of the original lineup: Exit 80 Clemson Rd. (btw. 1986-88) Comment: I-20 serves three major cities in South Carolina - Florence, Columbia, and North Augusta, but only really passes inside northern Columbia. I-20 received its exit numbers in 1976. I-20 blows off SC 191, SC 154, and SC 403. Other than the big cities, I-20 remains a quiet ride through lots of hilly scrub terrain. |

Creation: Bus I-20 SPUR first appeared on the 1968 or 1969 Official Map as under construction.
| Adjustments: The 1970 Official Map shows I-20 Bus SPUR as open. Improvements: 4 lane limited access freeway at inception. Comment: I-20 Spur was not initially posted as a green interstate and I don't know when it was. In fact, the last time I was at the US 76 end it was still normal interstate shields. Also, green 20 has been incorrectly posted as mainline I-20 from one direction on I-95 for many years - photo (thanks to Jeff Morrison). I-20 Bus SPUR serves a mall and has a couple stop lights, but otherwise offers quick access to Florence proper from I-20 |
