State Route 299 (SR 299) is a short west-east state highway located in the northwestern part of the U.S. state of Georgia. Its route is entirely within Dade County.
Route description
SR 299 begins at the Tennessee state line west of the unincorporated community of Hooker, where the roadway continues as Tennessee State Route 134. It heads southeast, then curves northeast, before entering Hooker. The highway heads southeast to an interchange with Interstate 24 (I-24). After I-24, SR 299 heads northeast, and has one final curve to the southeast, where it meets its eastern terminus, an intersection with US 11/SR 58 northeast of Wildwood.
While the route sees an Annual Average Daily Traffic (AADT) of between 2,000 and 5,000 vehicles, the route's use as a through route has largely been supplanted by I-24, which passes through the same corridor as SR 299, and its continuation into Tennessee, Tennessee State Route 134.
Major intersections
The entire route is in Dade County.
