State Route 10 (SR 10) is a 172.3-mile-long (277.3 km) state highway in the U.S. state of Georgia. It travels from Downtown Atlanta to the South Carolina state line in Augusta. This highway, along with U.S. Route 78 (US 78), connect three of the biggest metro areas of the state together: Atlanta, Athens, and Augusta. It travels concurrently with US 78 in three sections: from Atlanta to Druid Hills; from near Stone Mountain to near Athens; and from Athens to its eastern terminus, for a total of 149.2 miles (240.1 km), or approximately 86.6 percent of its route.

Route description[edit]
Fulton and DeKalb counties[edit]
At its western terminus, SR 10 is the eastward extension of Andrew Young International Boulevard NE and Ellis Street NE and has an interchange with I-75/I-85 (Downtown Connector) on the eastern edge of Downtown Atlanta, in Fulton County. At Jackson Street NE, the highway enters Freedom Park and becomes known as Freedom Parkway. A block later, it curves to the northeast and has an incomplete interchange with the southern terminus of SR 42 Connector, which acts like an eastern spur of Freedom Parkway. After that, SR 10 begins to curve to the north and passes to the west of the Jimmy Carter Library and Museum and the Carter Center; then, it curves to the north-northwest and has an intersection with US 29/US 78/US 278/SR 8 (Ponce de Leon Avenue NE). The five highways travel concurrently to the east and exit the park. They pass the Briarcliff Plaza shopping center and intersect North Highland Avenue NE, before meeting US 23/SR 42 (Moreland Avenue NE/Briarcliff Road NE) on the Fulton–DeKalb county line. At this intersection, US 23 joins the concurrency. The six highways pass by Springdale Park, Springdale Park Elementary School, Virgilee Park, The Paideia School, St. John's Lutheran Church, Brightwood Park, Shady Side Park, and the Lullwater Estate, before intersecting Clifton Road on the southeastern corner of the Druid Hills Golf Club. Just past this intersection, the concurrency passes by Dellwood Park, enters Druid Hills, and passes the Fernbank Museum of Natural History. After that, they cross over Lullwater Creek. On the southern edge of Deepdene Park, US 278/SR 10 depart the concurrency to the southeast on East Lake Drive NE. As soon as they enter Decatur, they curve to the south-southeast and travel underneath Howard Avenue and College Avenue. They turn right onto Park Place NE, and follow it to the west and north for about three blocks; then, they turn right onto College Avenue and travel along it to the east-northeast. US 278/SR 10 pass by Renfroe Middle School, Raiders Park, Decatur High School, and Agnes Scott College, before intersecting SR 155 (South Candler Street) and the southern terminus of East Trinity Place. SR 155 joins the concurrency for about three blocks and departs on Commerce Drive. A short distance later, the two highways leave Decatur and pass the Avondale MARTA station; then, they enter Avondale Estates, where they pass Avondale Elementary School. At Mountain Drive, SR 10 departs from US 278 to the northeast. This intersection marks the western terminus of SR 12. The short Mountain Drive segment of SR 10 pass north of the Kinsington MARTA station. At the eastern terminus of Mountain Drive is an intersection with the eastern terminus of SR 154 (Memorial Drive). At this intersection, SR 10 turns left onto Memorial Drive and passes the DeKalb County Sheriff's Headquarters and Jail. About one block later, SR 10 has an interchange with I-285 (Atlanta Bypass). Northeast of Rockbridge Road, the highway passes Georgia Piedmont Technical College, Georgia Perimeter College, Clarkston High School, and James R. Hallford Stadium. It curves to the east and crosses Snapfinger Creek. SR 10 skirts along the northwestern edge of Stone Mountain and has an interchange with East Ponce de Leon Avenue, just before meeting US 78/SR 410 (Stone Mountain Freeway). At this interchange, SR 410 meets its eastern terminus, and US 78/SR 10 travel concurrently. Within the interchange, the roadway curves to the east-northeast. Almost immediately after the interchange, the freeway passes under the Silver Hill Road overpass and begins to skirt along the northwestern edge of Stone Mountain Park. A short distance later, they cross over Stone Mountain Creek, travel just to the north of the Stone Mountain Park Dam–North Dam and Stone Mountain Park Lake–North, and have an interchange with the southern terminus of SR 236 (Hugh Howell Road). Here, the roadway enters Stone Mountain Park proper. The freeway crosses over Little Stone Mountain Creek before the westbound and eastbound lanes diverge from each other. The eastbound lanes curve to the southeast and meet an interchange with the main entrance of Stone Mountain Park. At this interchange, they curve back to the northeast and meet the westbound lanes again, just before leaving the boundary of the park and entering Gwinnett County.[2]
Gwinnett County[edit]
Almost instantly, US 78/SR 10 enter the city limits of Mountain Park. They have an interchange with West Park Place Boulevard and Rockbridge Road. The latter is only listed on westbound signage. The freeway crosses over West Park Place Boulevard on the Forrest L. Adair II Memorial Bridge and curves to the east-northeast. After this interchange, Stone Mountain Freeway ends and the numbered highways continue to the east-northeast. At an intersection with Camp Circle SW and Pucketts Road SW, the concurrency leaves Mountain Park. After a curve to the northeast, they curve back to the east-northeast and travel south of Lake Lucerne and the Opossum Lake Dam, before crossing over the Yellow River. They intersect the northern terminus of SR 264 (Bethany Church Road) and the southern terminus of Killian Hill Road at the Cpl Jonathan Ryan Ayers Memorial Interchange. The concurrency passes Eternal Hills Cemetery; then, they enter Snellville, where they intersect SR 124 (Scenic Highway) at the James D. Mason Memorial Interchange. Here, US 78/SR 10 curve to the east-southeast and pass the Snellville Historical Cemetery. Almost immediately, they travel about one block north of Britt Elementary School. Just past the intersection with Skland Drive SW and Wisteria Drive SW, they pass South Gwinnett High School. Just past the school, the highways curve to the east-northeast. A little over 1,000 feet (300 m) later, they curve to the east-southeast. At an intersection with the southern terminus of SR 84 (Grayson Parkway) and the northern terminus of Rockdale Circle, they curve back to the east-northeast and travel north of Amitriain Lake. At an intersection with Crestview Drive, the two highways leave Snellville proper and skirt along the edge of the city limits for about 700 feet (210 m), where they leave the city altogether. On the northwest corner of Rosebud Park, they curve to the east-southeast. After traveling south of Tuggle Lake, they enter Loganville. In the city, they curve to the south-southeast. Just over 200 feet (61 m) after intersecting Logan Drive, US 78/SR 10 enter Walton County.[2]
Walton County[edit]
In downtown Loganville, the concurrent highways intersect SR 20 (Main Street). They curve to the east-southeast and intersect SR 81 and the northern terminus of Cown Drive. At this intersection, SR 81 joins the concurrency. At Lee Byrd Road's southern terminus, SR 81 splits off to the south-southeast. US 78/SR 10 leave the city limits and cross over Big Flat Creek. They enter the city limits of Between and curve to the southeast. Right after leaving town, they curve to the east-southeast, and, approximately 550 feet (170 m) after intersecting the eastern terminus of Sardis Church Road, they curve to the east-northeast. Then, they curve back to the east-southeast and cross over the Alcovy River. A short distance after the river, US 78/SR 10 bypass the main part of Monroe on a freeway bypass. Their first exit is with the western terminus of SR 10 Business (West Spring Street). The bypass begins to curve to the east-northeast. Approximately 0.7 miles (1.1 km) after that interchange is the eastern terminus of SR 138. Less than 1 mile (1.6 km) after that is an interchange with SR 11 (North Broad Street). The two highways curve back to the east-southeast. Approximately 2 miles (3.2 km) later, they curve to the northeast have an interchange with the eastern terminus of SR 10 Business (East Spring Street), where the freeway bypass ends. Part of the highway is known as the Moina Michael Highway, named for Moina Michael, an American professor and humanitarian who conceived the idea of using poppies as a symbol of remembrance for those who served in World War I. US 78/SR 10 cross over Jacks Creek and intersect the northern terminus of SR 83 (Unisia Drive). Approximately 0.5 miles (0.80 km) after leaving Monroe, they travel through a rural area of the county and cross over the Apalachee River into Oconee County.[2]
Oconee and Clarke counties[edit]
US 78/SR 10 continue to the northeast and intersect SR 53 (Hog Mountain Road). They curve to the east before curving to the north-northeast. They intersect Mars Hill Road (former SR 209) just before an interchange with US 29/SR 8/SR 316 (University Parkway), as well as the western terminus of US 78 Business. At this interchange, SR 10 begins a concurrency with US 78 Business; meanwhile, US 29/US 78/SR 8/SR 316 travel to the east-southeast. The two highways cross over McNutt Creek into Clarke County and the city limits of Athens.[2]
US 78 Business/SR 10 travel to the southeast of Bogart and turn east along Atlanta Highway. They meet an interchange with SR 10 Loop (Athens Perimeter Highway). and pass Evergreen Memorial Park; then, they curve to the northeast. After passing north of Timothy Road Elementary School, they have an incomplete interchange with the northern terminus of Epps Bridge Parkway. After that, they cross over the Middle Oconee River. Here, Atlanta Highway ends and US 78 Business/SR 10 take on the West Broad Street name. They pass north of St. Mary's Hospital, Clarke Middle School, Classic City High School, and Clarke Central High School. At Milledge Avenue, they intersect SR 15 Alternate. Just over five blocks later, they skirt along the northern edge of the University of Georgia and curve to the southeast, crossing over the North Oconee River. Just over 3,000 feet (910 m) later, the concurrent highways meet US 29/US 78/US 129/US 441/SR 8/SR 10 Loop/SR 15, as well as the unsigned SR 422 (a total of eight highways). At this interchange, US 78 Business ends, and US 78/SR 10 travel to the southeast. They curve to the east-southeast and pass to the south of the Athens Ben Epps Airport. At the intersection of Cherokee Road, they pass southwest of Satterfield Park. They skirt along the northeastern edge of the Southeast Clarke Park before crossing over Shoal Creek. Just prior to crossing over Big Creek, the concurrency begins to curve to the south-southeast. They curve to the east-southeast and then to the southeast before leaving the city limits of Athens and entering Oglethorpe County.[2]
Oglethorpe County[edit]
US 78/SR 10 continue to the southeast, crossing over Moss Creek. After a brief east-northeast section, they travel just south of the city limits of Arnoldsville, in an east-southeast direction. Just before entering Crawford, they cross over Barrow Creek. In town, they curve to the east-northeast, travel to the north of Crawford Cemetery, and curve to the northeast. On the northeastern edge of the city limits, the concurrency begins a gradual curve to the southeast, traveling north of Brooks Lake and the Brooks Lake Dam and southwest of a branch of the Oglethrope County Library. They also pass Oglethorpe County High School. Immediately after entering Lexington, US 78/SR 10 intersect SR 22 (Comer Road), which joins the currency. The three highways travel to the south-southeast to an intersection with SR 77 (Union Point Road), which also joins the concurrency. The four-highway concurrency curves to the southeast and passes the city's magistrate court. Approximately 1,000 feet (300 m) before leaving the city limits, SR 77 departs the concurrency to the north-northeast on Elberton Road. The three highways begin a curve to the east-southeast, and SR 22 departs the concurrency to the south-southeast on Crawfordville Road. US 78/SR 10 cross over Long Creek, before curving to the south-southeast and then to the east-southeast. They cross over Buffalo Creek, curve back to the southeast, and make an easterly jaunt. Southeast of the University of Georgia Farm Lake, the highways cross over Dry Fork Creek into Wilkes County.[2]
Wilkes County[edit]
Just after US 78/SR 10 begin a gradual curve to the southeast, they cross over Beaverdam Creek. They travel south of Rock Cemetery. Just over 1,000 feet (300 m) after intersecting the southern terminus of Centerville Road and the northern terminus of Richardson Road, they begin to travel through Rayle. In the center of town, they curve to the east. Just to the east of town, the highways curve to the east-northeast and curve back to the east-southeast and travel to the south of Washington–Wilkes Orchard Lake and the Washington–Wilkes Orchard Dam. They again curve to the east-northeast and bend to the southeast, passing the Washington–Wilkes County Airport. A little over 1 mile (1.6 km) before entering the city limits of Washington, they intersect the western terminus of US 78 Business/SR 10 Business. In the city, just west of the intersection with the northern terminus of Campbell Street, the mainline routes begin to curve to the east-southeast. They intersect SR 44 (North Mercer Street), which joins the concurrency. The three highways travel with the honorary designation of the Benjamin Wynn Fortson Jr Memorial Highway, named for Benjamin W. Fortson, Jr., a former Secretary of State of Georgia. After crossing Threemile Creek and intersecting South Elijah Clark Drive, they curve to the east-northeast. At the intersection with Carey Street, they begin to curve back to the east-southeast. They intersect SR 17 Business (known locally as Poplar Drive to the south and Tignall Road to the north). Here, SR 44 departs the concurrency to the north. After this intersection, US 78/SR 10 begin to curve to the south-southeast. They curve to the east and intersect SR 17, where the concurrency turns right, and all three highways travel to the south-southeast. The concurrent routes skirt along the eastern city limits of Washington and travel to the west of Booth Lake and the Booth Lake Dam, before very briefly re-entering Washington proper. Just before the intersection with Ann Denard Drive, they begin to skirt the city limits again. On the southeastern edge of the city, they intersect the eastern terminus of US 78 Business/SR 10 Business and the southern terminus of SR 17 Business (all three carry the Robert Toombs Avenue name), as well as the western terminus of US 378 (Lincolnton Road). Both directions also carry SR 47. US 78/SR 10/SR 17 travel to the south-southeast, known as the Sam McGill Memorial Parkway. Almost immediately, they begin to curve to the east-southeast. They intersect the southern terminus of the unsigned SR 47 Connector (Thomson Road) and the eastern terminus of Denard Road. They curve to the south-southeast and travel through rural areas of the county and skirt along the northeastern edge of the Washington–Wilkes Country Club. On the southeastern corner of the golf course, the three highways intersect the northern terminus of SR 80 (Wrightsboro Road). They curve to the east-southeast and back to the southeast. They cross over the Little River into McDuffie County.[2]
McDuffie County[edit]
US 78/SR 10/SR 17 continue to the southeast and cross over Hart Creek and Big Creek. They curve to the south-southeast and intersect the southern terminus of SR 43 (Lincolnton Road). Approximately 500 feet (150 m) later, they pass Pine Grove Cemetery. Just after they intersect Stagecoach Road, they skirt along the eastern edge of Belle Meade Country Club and then the Thomson–McDuffie County Airport. Just before they enter Thomson, they intersect the northern terminus of SR 17 Bypass (Thomson Bypass). At this intersection, US 78/SR 10 turn left and follow the bypass around the eastern side of the city, while SR 17 continues toward the main part of the city. The three highways curve to the south-southeast and cross over, but do not have an interchange with, I-20 (Carl Sanders Highway). The trio travels through the northeastern part of Thomson and intersect SR 150 (Cobbham Road). They leave the unmarked city limits and curve to the east, before coming back to the south-southeast and intersect SR 223 (White Oak Road). The concurrency curves to the south-southwest and crosses over a CSX rail line before intersecting US 278/SR 12 (Augusta Road). At this intersection, SR 12 meets its eastern terminus, and US 78/US 278/SR 10 travel to the southeast as Augusta Highway. SR 17 Bypass travels to the south-southwest, as well. The three highways stairstep their way to the southeast, crossing over Sweetwater Creek and traveling near Boneville. Southwest of Boneville, they cross over Boneville Stream. South of Boneville, they travel southwest of Boneville Pond. Just before the intersection with Wire Road and Ellington Airline Road, they curve to the east-northeast. Just to the west of Old Augusta Road, US 78/US 278/SR 10 curve to the east-southeast. They curve to the southeast and enter Dearing. In town, they curve to the east and intersect School Drive, which leads to Augusta Technical College's Adult Education Center and Dearing Elementary School. The concurrency curves to the northeast and then back to the east-southeast, before they cross over Boggy Gut Creek and enter Columbia County.[2]
Columbia County[edit]
Approximately 600 feet (180 m) after entering the county, US 78/US 278/SR 10 enter the western city limits of Harlem. Just to the southeast of West Boundary Street, they travel about two and a half blocks south of Harlem Middle School. In the main part of town, they intersect US 221/SR 47 (Louisville Street). Ath the southeastern edge of the city limits, the roadway becomes known as Gordon Highway, which is a major urban corridor farther to the east. The highways travel through Campania and Berzelia. A few thousand feet later, they curve to the northeast, crossing into Richmond County (and the city limits of Augusta), and begin paralleling the northern edge of Fort Gordon.[2]
Richmond County[edit]

US 78/US 278/SR 10 serve as the access point for Gordon Park Speedway and Augusta State Medical Prison. A short distance later is Fort Gordon's Gate 3, a commercial vehicle gate for the Army base and Gate 2, a variable-hour gate. At the intersection for Gate 2, the highway also intersects the eastern terminus of SR 223 (East Robinson Avenue). Approximately 3.4 miles (5.5 km) later is an intersection with the southern terminus of SR 383 (Jimmy Dyess Parkway) and the northern terminus of an access road to Fort Gordon's Gate 1, the 24-hour main gate for the base. About halfway between here and the interchange with I-520 (Bobby Jones Expressway), the three highwasys leave the edge of Fort Gordon and begin to transition into an urban corridor. After the interstate, the roadway enters the main part of Augusta, passing south of Aquinas High School, and curves to the south-southeast, past the location of the now-closed Regency Mall. Immediately after a slight curve to the east is an intersection with US 1/SR 4 (Deans Bridge Road). US 1 joins the concurrency, while SR 4 continues to the northeast into downtown. The four-highway concurrency curves slightly to the east-southeast to an interchange with US 25/SR 121 (Peach Orchard Road), which both join the concurrency. The six highways travel to the east-northeast and intersect the northern terminus of SR 56 Spur (Doug Barnard Parkway) and the southern terminus of Molly Pond Road. The highways curve to the north-northeast and intersect Laney–Walker Boulevard, thus effectively entering downtown. They pass just to the northwest of Magnolia Cemetery, Cedar Grove Cemetery, and May Park and southeast of James Brown Arena. A short distance later, they pass to the east of Old Medical College and the Old Government House, then they have an interchange with US 25 Business/SR 28 (Broad Street). Here, US 25 Business meets its southern terminus. Just after this interchange, the highways cross over the Savannah River into South Carolina. At the state line, SR 10/SR 121 end, while US 1/US 25/US 78/US 278, concurrent with SC 121 curve to the northeast toward North Augusta.[2]
National Highway System[edit]
The following sections of SR 10 are included as part of the National Highway System, a system of roadways important to the nation's economy, defense, and mobility:
- From its western terminus to the Gwinnett–Walton county line[3][4]
- From the Oconee–Clarke county line to the northern terminus of the Thomson Bypass[4][5]
- The entire portion within Richmond County[6]
History[edit]
1920s[edit]
The roadway that would eventually be signed as SR 10 was established at least as far back as 1920 as part of SR 8 from downtown Atlanta to Decatur; SR 45 from Loganville to Monroe;; SR 8 from near Bogart to Athens; SR 10 from Athens to Washington; SR 17 from Washington to Thomson; and SR 12 from Thomson to Augusta. Also, SR 24 was established in Augusta, concurrent with SR 12.[1] By the end of 1921, SR 45 was extended from Loganville west-southwest to Decatur and northeast from Monroe to the Bogart area.[1][7] By the end of 1926, US 29 was designated along the portion of SR 8 between downtown Atlanta and Decatur; this portion was also paved. SR 45 between Decatur and Loganville was redesignated as part of US 78/SR 10, with the portion from Decatur to just north of Stone Mountain being paved. SR 45 between Loganville and Monroe was redesignated as part of SR 13 (and presumably US 78); SR 45 between Monroe and the Bogart area was redesignated as US 78/SR 10. US 29 (and presumably US 78/SR 10) were designated along the portion of SR 8 between the Bogart area and Athens; this portion was paved. US 78 was designated along SR 10 from Athens to Washington, SR 17 from Washington to Thomson, and SR 12 from Thomson to Augusta. A short segment of US 78/SR 10 was paved. A short segment of US 78/SR 10 northwest of Washington and a short segment of US 78/SR 17 southeast of Washington were paved. The entire concurrency of SR 12/SR 24 in Augusta was paved. Also, US 1 was designated along SR 24 and was made concurrent with US 78/SR 12 in Augusta.[7][8] Prior to the beginning of 1932, the entire segment of SR 13 from Loganville to Monroe was paved. Nearly half of US 78/SR 10 between Athens and Lexington was paved. SR 10 was extended along US 78/SR 17 from Washington to Thomson and US 78/SR 12 from Thomson to Augusta. The entirety of US 78/SR 10/SR 12 (and US 1/SR 24) from Thomson to Augusta was paved.[8][9]
1930s to 1960s[edit]
In January 1932, SR 13 was redesignated as part of SR 20. Also, SR 24 was redesignated as SR 4.[9][10] By May of the next year, all of US 78/SR 10 between Lexington and Washington was paved.[11][12] In February 1934, all of US 78/SR 78/SR 10 between Athens and Lexington was paved.[13][14] Near the end of the year, all of SR 20 between Loganville and Monroe was redesignated as part of SR 10 (and presumably US 78).[15][16] By April 1937, all of US 78/SR 10 from downtown Atlanta to Snellville was paved.[17][18] In August 1938, all of US 78/SR 10 from downtown Atlanta to the Walton–Oconee county line was paved.[19][20] By July of the next year, the entire length of SR 10 at the time was paved.[20][21] At the end of 1941, SR 42A was designated along Ponce de Leon Avenue in Atlanta.[22][23] By the end of 1946, it was decommissioned.[24][25] By the middle of 1960, US 278 was designated along US 78/SR 10 from downtown Atlanta to Decatur, and along US 78/SR 10/SR 12 from Harlem (or possibly Thomson) to Augusta.[26][27] By 1966, I-485 was proposed from I-75/I-85 (Downtown Connector) to Boulevard. In Athens, US 29/US 78/SR 8/SR 10 traveled into the main part of town, with US 29 splitting off onto US 129/US 441 Temporary/SR 15 (Milledge Avenue; now SR 15 Alternate). SR 8 departed the concurrency on Pulaski Street. SR 15 Alternate traveled concurrent with US 78/SR 10 from South Hull Street to Thomas Street.[28][29] Later that year, the I-485 proposal was extended east and north to end at I-85, along with an early proposed route for SR 410, with SR 400 being proposed to be routed both north and south of this extension. In Athens, US 29/SR 8 were designated along the northern part of the Athens Perimeter Highway, with US 78/SR 8 Bus./SR 10 traveling through the city. In the Monroe area, US 78/SR 10 were rerouted north of the main part of town. The former route became SR 10 Business.[29][30] The next year, the north–south portion of the proposed I-485 no longer had SR 410 as a hidden concurrent route; SR 400's proposed routing was extended along this entire proposal. SR 410 was proposed to travel from the eastern end of the east–west segment of I-485 to where US 29/SR 8 split from US 78/US 278/SR 10 in Druid Hills. Also, it was proposed along its current routing.[30][31] In 1969, a northern bypass of Washington was built, designated as SR 10 Bypass, while US 78/SR 10 continued to travel through the main part of town.[32][33]
1970s to 1990s[edit]
In 1970, US 78/SR 10 were routed along SR 10 Loop in the northern part of Washington, with the former routing becoming US 78 Bus. (and presumably SR 10 Bus.).[33][34] By 1975, the I-485 proposal was removed from SR 410 and SR 400.[35][36] In 1976, the proposal for SR 400 south of I-85 and the western segment for SR 410 were dropped, with only a short freeway from I-75/I-85 to Boulevard left on the books.[37][38] On the 1980-1981 GDOT map, it was revealed that this short freeway was designated as a western segment of SR 410.[39][40] In 1980, SR 12 was truncated to end in Thomson, no longer concurrent with US 78/US 278/SR 10 from there to Augusta.[41][42] In 1986, SR 10 Loop was decommissioned.[43][44] In 1988, US 78 was routed along the Athens Perimeter Highway, but entering from the Atlanta Highway exit; the roadway inside the Perimeter was redesignated as US 78 Business, with SR 10 still designated along this stretch of highway.[45][46] In 1991, SR 410's western segment was redesignated as part of SR 10, with a proposal to extend the freeway northeast to US 23/SR 42.[47][48] In 1993, SR 10's eastward extension in Atlanta was completed to Ponce de Leon Avenue.[49][50] Between 1994 and 1996, the portion of US 78 between the Bogart area and the northwest of Athens was redesignated as a westward extension of US 78 Business, with SR 10 still along this segment.[50][51]
Miscellaneous notes[edit]
This section does not cite any sources. (December 2013) (Learn how and when to remove this template message) |
The Freedom Parkway portion of SR 10 uses the right-of-way of a canceled inner-city Interstate highway project, I-485, which would have traveled eastward (and in a later routing, northward) from downtown Atlanta to an interchange with I-85. The original I-485 interchange with I-75/I-85 in downtown Atlanta is now used for access to Freedom Parkway, though the reduced number of lanes (compared to what was originally planned) makes the interchange look somewhat oversized for its current purpose. The eastern portion of I-485 was completed as the Stone Mountain Freeway, which also carries SR 10 (and also US 78/SR 410) out to the Stone Mountain.
The land that Freedom Parkway uses around the Carter Center, as well as the land the Carter Center sits on, was originally slated to be used for the I-485 interchange with I-475 (now known as SR 400 further north and I-675 further south), had those roadways been completed through the city of Atlanta proper. Community opposition ended plans for roadway construction in the 1970s when Jimmy Carter was governor of Georgia, but only after hundreds of homes has already been taken by eminent domain and demolished.

Bannered routes[edit]
Monroe business loop[edit]
Spring Street | |
---|---|
Location: | Monroe |
Length: | 4.0 mi[52] (6.4 km) |
Existed: | 1966[29][30]–present |
State Route 10 Business (SR 10 Bus.) is a 4.0-mile-long (6.4 km) business route of SR 10 that exists almost entirely within the central city limits of Monroe, in Walton County. It is known as Spring Street for its entire length.
It begins just northwest of the main part of Monroe, at an incomplete interchange with US 78/SR 10. The highway travels southeast and has an intersection with SR 138 (Martin Luther King Jr Boulevard). It curves to the east-northeast and crosses over Mountain Creek. In the main part of town, it intersects SR 11 (Broad Street). The business route passes south of Rest Haven Cemetery and curves to the northeast to meet its eastern terminus, another incomplete interchange with US 78/SR 10.[52]
SR 10 Bus. is not part of the National Highway System, a system of roadways important to the nation's economy, defense, and mobility.[4]
SR 10 Bus. was designated in 1966 when US 78/SR 10 were rerouted north of the main part of town. The former route became SR 10 Business.[29][30]
The entire route is in Walton County.

Athens loop[edit]
Athens Perimeter Highway | |
---|---|
Location: | Athens |
Length: | 19.1 mi[53] (30.7 km) |
State Route 10 Loop (SR 10 Loop, also known as Loop 10, Paul Broun Parkway, or the Athens Perimeter Highway) is a 19.1-mile-long (30.7 km) state highway in the form of a beltway around Athens in the U.S. state of Georgia. After a partial at-grade intersection within the inner lanes is upgraded to a partial-cloverleaf intersection, the entire route will be built to freeway standards.[54] Much of the road is concurrent with other routes (such as U.S. Route 29 (US 29), US 78, US 129, US 441, SR 8, and SR 15) that pass through the Athens area. It also carries the unsigned SR 422 designation. Only US 78 Business/SR 10 and SR 15 Alternate pass through downtown Athens. Inner/outer directions are often used to sign the loop.
Washington business loop[edit]
State Route 10 Business | |
---|---|
Location: | Washington |
Length: | 4.6 mi[55] (7.4 km) |
Existed: | 1970[33][34]–present |
State Route 10 Business (SR 10 Bus.) is a 4.6-mile-long (7.4 km) business route of SR 10 that exists almost entirely within the central city limits of Washington, in Wilkes County. It is known as Lexington Avenue and Robert Toombs Avenue. It is concurrent with US 78 Business for its entire length.
It begins northwest of Washington, at an intersection with US 78/SR 10. The highway travels southeast and curves to the east-southeast, before entering Washington's city limits. It has an intersection with SR 44 (North Mercer Street). It curves to the east-southeast onto Robert Toombs Avenue and intersects SR 47 (Spring Street), near the Mary Willis Library, which joins the concurrency. A few blocks later, after passing the Robert Toombs House and the Washington-Wilkes Historical Museum is an intersection with SR 17 Business (Poplar Drive), which also joins the concurrency. At this intersection, the four-highway concurrency curves to the southeast and meets its eastern terminus, an intersection with US 78/SR 10, as well as the western terminus of US 378. US 78 Bus./SR 17 Bus. end, and SR 47 continues to the east, concurrent with US 378.[55]
SR 10 Bus. is not part of the National Highway System, a system of roadways important to the nation's economy, defense, and mobility.[4]
In 1970, US 78/SR 10 were routed along SR 10 Loop in the northern part of Washington, with the former routing becoming US 78 Bus. (and presumably SR 10 Bus.).[33][34] In 1986, SR 10 Loop was decommissioned.[43][44]
The entire route is in Wilkes County.

State Route 10 Loop (SR 10 Loop) was a loop route of SR 10 that existed almost entirely within the central city limits of Washington, in Wilkes County. It was concurrent with US 78 (and presumably SR 10) for its entire length.
In 1970, US 78/SR 10 were rerouted from the central part of town along SR 10 Loop in the northern part of Washington, with the former routing becoming US 78 Bus. (and presumably SR 10 Bus.).[33][34] In 1986, SR 10 Loop was decommissioned.[43][44]
