Interstate 26 is a major east-west highway serving the southeastern United States. I-26 serves Columbia, South Carolina, and along with the I-385 spur, is a major route in the Greenville, South Carolina / Spartanburg, South Carolina area.

I-26 leaves South Carolina at the North Carolina border on its way to Asheville, North Carolina. This roadway is mostly a 4 lane highway except in the Columbia, South Carolina and Charleston, South Carolina areas, which add lanes and interchange feeder roads. I-26 runs from the junction of US Route 11 and 23 in Kingsport, Tennessee in a southeasterly direction to its terminus in Charleston, South Carolina at Highway 17, near the Atlantic coast. I-26 connects directly into Highway 17 at downtown Charleston and also north and south of the city via the western side partial beltway of I-526. This makes for a very efficient access way to the industrial areas just outside the city and eases traffic along the main roadway into the heart of town.

The majority of I-26’s 347 miles can be found in the 220-mile southeasterly stretch in South Carolina.

I-26 connects the 4 largest cities in the state and intersects with other interstates in Rosinville, South Carolina (Near Bowman, South Carolina and Santee, South Carolina) (I-95), Columbia, South Carolina (I-20 and I-77), Clinton, South Carolina (I-385) and Spartanburg, South Carolina (I-85).
