Route description [edit]
SR 10's western terminus is at the Downtown Connector (Interstate 75/Interstate 85, a.k.a. I-75/I-85) in Downtown Atlanta. Its eastern terminus is at the South Carolina state line in Augusta. The western end of SR 10 travels along Freedom Parkway, which bypasses the Carter Center to the west.
In the Athens area, SR 10 is concurrent with US 78 BUS from Atlanta Highway in Bogart, through the historic Athens business district, by the University of Georgia on Broad Street, and out to the southeastern part of the Athens Perimeter. At this point, US 78 BUS ends and mainline US 78 rejoins the route on Lexington Road.
History [edit]
The Freedom Parkway portion of Georgia 10 uses the right-of-way of a canceled inner-city Interstate highway project, I-485, which would have run eastward (and in a later routing, northward) from Downtown Atlanta. The original I-485 interchange with I-75/85 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 over-sized for its current purpose. The eastern portion of I-485 was completed as the Stone Mountain Freeway, which also carries SR 10 out to the City of 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.
