IMO. That just doesn't look impressively complex. Lots of land and spread out. 385/85 looks a lot more compact and concrete with less space.

That photo proves the 385/85 will be much more impressive. When it is completed, let's talk. Until then, there is no reason to compare the two.

I think the 26/77 interchange is more eye catching...especially with the view from it. But the 385/85 interchange wont hold the most complex or second most expensive project when malfunction junction gets underway.

How would anyone know what the view from the topmost 385/85 flyover will look like except the workers erecting the steel? It's not finished.

Who cares which one looks more complex. I sure don’t. I just want better traffic flow.

Malfunction junction will always be a mess, no matter how much money the politicians in Columbia spend on it.

Even looking at a CGI of the finished interchange, I-85/385 looks mighty impressive:

No exact timing released. But it looks like they are planning to reopen the 85S exit to Woodruff sometime this week before Black Friday.

85-S woodruff exit is now open. Note this exit is not accessible from 385 in either direction.

There are going to be a lot of happy shoppers this holiday season. Good job on SCDOT. They wanted to get this done earlier, but all of the rain we had earlier this month put them behind.
