South Carolina Highway 768 (SC 768) is a primary state highway in the U.S. state of South Carolina. It serves to connect businesses along Shop Road to nearby state highways.

Route description

SC 768 is an urban highway that zig-zags from SC 48 to US 76/378 for 4.8 miles (7.7 km). The main stretch is Shop Road, where it is a four-lane divided highway; while Beltline Boulevard and Pineview Road are a two-lane with medium. Signage along the route is poorly marked.

History

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.

The current SC 768 was established between 1980–82, as a new primary routing; which has changed little since.[2]
