Route 276, linking Columbia, Clin ton and Greenville offeiially opened to traffic last week This is the longest continuous stretch of free way in the state so far completed and opened. Portions of both routes had been previously opened following com pletion of construction. Route 276. which is a controlled access high way all the way from Roupte 1-26 near Clniton to Mauldin, was pre viously .opened between Greenville and South Carolina Route 308 north of Clinton. A seven-mile section of this route, extending from Mauldin into Greenville, does not feature ac- te*o GREENVILLE They'll enjoy Flaire every day in a new way: FO« BRIDGE .

Also previously <n>en- ed to traffic was the portion of In terstate Route 26 from Columbia i to South Carolina Route 773 near Pomaria. Now the entire highway from Columbia to Greenville is open. All major work on the new sec tion of Route 276 has already been completed. Erection of a system ! of permanent signs on 78 miles of Route 1-26 is in progress and prob ably wlil not be completed until early next year, but adequate tem- I porary signs are being installed by Highway Department maintenance forces to permit use of the new route. Also remaining to be com pleted is some shoulder construc tion. This work has now progress ed to the point, however, that the highway is considered safe for pub die travel. Opening of the new route sections will make the Columbia to Green ville freeway the longest opened to traffic in South Carolina thus far It also reduces the driving distance! between the two cities from 106 to 101 miles, thereby producing a sav ing in travel time. Highway department traffic' counts reveal that the portion of U. S. Route 276 between Mauldin and Fountain Irn, which was open ed some months ago. carries an average of traffic volume of 3,300 vehicles per day. The Mauldin to Greenville portion, opened prior to that time, carries an average of 5.800 vehicles daily. These volumes are expected to increase sharply with the official opning of the entire Columbia-Greenville route Indications are that, wi‘h the official opening of the highways all the way from Columbia to Greenville, much traffic n w using U. S. 76 and 176 bound for Green- ' ville and Spartanburg areas will shift to the new freeway. Connec tions from the western end of the currently compJeted section of Route 126 to Spartanburg can be made by utilizing South Carolina Route 56 at a point north of Clinton. Construction cost of the Colum bia-Greenville facility was approxi- - mately $50 million, the State High way Department reported. «- Homer S. Blackwell, Laurens Lawyer Dies Homer S.
