Route description
The road begins at US 25 at Augusta Road, heading north as South Pleasantburg Drive, a six lane road, passing by businesses before an intersection over Interstate 85 (I-85). The road continues east as a commercial road, through many business in Greenville, passing by Greenville Technical College's (Greenville Tech) Barton (or Main) Campus and the former McAlister Square Shopping Center to the east of the road. At an interchange with US 276 (Laurens Road), the road becomes North Pleasantburg Drive, continuing north, passing the Greenville Downtown Airport and the Carolina First Center to the east via Tower Drive. The road then passes over Interstate 385, continuing north through the North Hills Shopping Center, quickly followed by Bob Jones University to the west. At the intersection with County Road 304, SC 291 turns west for one block before meeting with US 29 at Wade Hampton Boulevard, before turning northwest. It continues through more commercial development before making a turn west to South Carolina Highway 253 at Paris Mountain Road. According to the SCDOT, this is the official northern terminus. However, signage shows that it continues to an intersection with US 276 at Poinsett Highway. ==History==
