U.S. Route 278 (US 278) in the U.S. state of Georgia is an east–west United States Highway traversing the north-central portion of the state. The highway travels from its western terminus as US 278/SR 74 at the Alabama state line near Esom Hill to its eastern terminus at US 1/US 25/US 78/US 278/SR 10/SR 121 in the Augusta metropolitan area where it crosses the Savannah River into South Carolina.

The route is concurrent with SR 6 from the Alabama state line to Lithia Springs, SR 100 and SR 1 in Cedartown, SR 8 from Lithia Springs to Decatur, SR 5 from Lithia Springs to Austell, and SR 10 from Atlanta to Avondale Estates, and again from Thomson to the South Carolina state line. It is entirely concurrent with SR 12 for 118 miles (190 km),[1] and is briefly concurrent with the southern terminus of SR 124 in Lithonia.

Concurrencies of US 278 with US routes in Georgia include two long ones with its parent route US 78 from Lithia Springs to Druid Hills, and again from east of Thomson to the South Carolina state line. Others include US 19/US 41 in the vicinity of Georgia Tech in Atlanta, US 29 from Georgia Tech to Druid Hills, US 23 from east Atlanta, to Druid Hills, US 129/US 441 in the vicinity of Madison, US 1 from Augusta to the South Carolina state line, and US 25 from Augusta to the South Carolina state line.

It is also concurrent with I-20/SR 402 from exit 75 in Lithonia until it reaches exit 90 in Covington in Newton County. US 278 largely travels parallel to I-20 from DeKalb County, near Atlanta, to McDuffie County.

Route description

Alabama through Lithia Springs

The highway starts at the Alabama state line, near Esom Hill in Polk County, and is concurrent with SR 6 from its western terminus. It travels southeast as a two-lane undivided highway until the intersection with Hardin Road, where it curves northeast. Along the way, it travels straight east along the north edge of a waterway known as Esom Slough, then turns to the northeast again at the intersection with Brewster Field Road. Getting away from Esom Hill, it travels through a community known as Akes, and only has intersections with three local roads; Branch Road to the northwest, Akes Station Road to the southwest, and Lewis Drive West to the southeast, From there the highway takes another curve to the northeast, although this time more directly than earlier. At some point, it also passes a short formerly proposed eastbound right-of-way. Just before entering Cedartown, the road is joined by a concurrency with SR 100 (Canal Road). At a bridge over an abandoned Seaboard Air Line Railroad line, it travels over a connecting spur to the Silver Comet Trail, and officially enters the City of Cedartown. The spur leads to a trailhead on the northeast corner of the bridge, while the trail itself travels along the south side of the road beginning at the southeast corner of the bridge. The trail continues to run along the south side of the road as it passes an Underwriters Laboratory building, and then crosses a bridge over Dry Creek, where it loops around like the inner ramps of a cloverleaf interchange and leaves the side of the road to travel along the east bank of the creek. Condominiums are along the north side of the road and single-family houses line the south side until it reaches U.S. Route 27 Bus./SR 1 Bus. (Main Street). From there, Canal Street becomes Martin Luther King, Junior Boulevard. This segment of the highway shifts between southeast and east trajectories and, at one point, crosses an at-grade former Central of Georgia Railway line. MLK Jr Boulevard travels southeast for the last time and ends at a short concurrency with US 27/SR 1, where SR 100 turns south and US 278/SR 6 turns north. That concurrency ends at an overpass with two connecting roads on the southwest and northeast corners.

The Silver Comet Trail, which travels in close proximity with US 278 from the Alabama state line flanks the highway directly along the south side for the second time east of the bridge over Fish Creek.[2] At the border with Rockmart, US 278 Bus./SR 6 Bus. branches off to the southeast, while mainline US 278/SR 6 curves to the northeast onto Nathan Dean Parkway. Before the intersection of Calloway Drive, the Silver Comet Trail makes a sharp turn south. The eastern terminus of US 278 Bus./SR 6 Bus. is also the west end of the concurrency with SR 101. US 278/SR 6/SR 101 makes a slight turn to the southeast where it encounters the intersection with SR 113, and that route joins them as they all turns south. US 278/SR 6/SR 101/SR 113 leaves the city limits at a bridge over Braswell Road and a parallel railroad line. Just after the intersection with Fairview Road, the routes curve to the southeast. The concurrency travels over a bridge above the Silver Comet Trail again, just before the intersection with Atlanta Highway and Coots Lake Road, the former of which was once a segment of US 278/SR 6/SR 101/SR 113. Not long after this, the highway passes by Coots Lake, for which the latter road is named. SR 101/SR 113 leaves the concurrency a little further southeast, and after descending into a slight valley, US 278/SR 6 crosses the Polk–Paulding county line, where the street name is changed to Rockmart Highway. Along the way, it passes by few sites of any note other than Paulding Northwest Atlanta Airport. Further east, a former segment on the opposite side called "Wayside Lane" begins, which serves the Lillian C. Poole Elementary School, and Wayside Baptist Church. Wayside Lane ends west of a power line right-of-way.

After the west end of Olivet Loop (another former segment) and at a break in the median, the route officially enters Dallas. At the intersection of the east end of Olivet Loop and Vista Lake Drive, Rockmart Highway becomes the Jimmy Campbell Parkway. What passes for a major intersection after this is West Memorial Drive, another former segment of the highways. A real major intersection follows shortly, specifically Buchanan Street, where SR 120 and SR 6 Bus. meet. SR 120 joins US 278/SR 6 in a concurrency and curves further southeast away from Downtown Dallas. At a self-storage facility, the highways curve to the east again just before the intersection with Academy Drive and Vernoy–Aiken Road, and then intersects SR 61 just before curving to the southeast again. Just after curving back towards the east, it crosses a bridge over a former Seaboard Air Line Railroad line and becomes the Jimmy Lee Smith Parkway. The last intersection in Dallas is the shared intersection with Butler Industrial Drive and Cadillac Parkway. Just before the intersection with Paris Road, US 278/SR 6/SR 120 enters Hiram. As the highway passes by the Wellstar Paulding Hospital complex, the concurrency with SR 120 ends at the intersection with SR 360, where SR 120 turns north. The road continues to the east but curves to the southeast as it approaches the next major intersection, which is the east end of SR 6 Bus. Curving east-southeast it travels along a long line of commercial zoning where it intersects SR 92. After three other signalized intersections, two of which are driveways to shopping centers, the road intersects Greenfield and Metromont Roads, where Jimmy Lee Smith Parkway becomes Wendy Bagwell Parkway. After the intersection with Isley Stamper Road, US 278/SR 6 crosses the Paulding–Cobb county line and enters Powder Springs, where the name of the road is now "C.H. James Parkway." Commercial development is reduced, but not eliminated. A former segment of the road branches off to the southeast just before the intersection with Elliot Road and Powder Springs–Dallas Road. One last intersection with Florence Road can be found before US 278/SR 6 makes a sharp curve to the south. From there, the road approaches a pedestrian bridge under the Silver Comet Trail, which is the route's final encounter with the trail, and then approaches the intersection with Richard D. Sailors Parkway, the former SR 176/SR 6 Bus. From there, it climbs a bridge over Powder Springs–Dallas Road and a parallel former Southern Railway line now owned by Norfolk Southern Railway. Curving back to the southeast after the intersection with Hill Road Southwest, the highway travels through a western portion of Austell, where it passes by a major Norfolk Southern Railway yard. Access to that yard is available at the intersection with SR 6 Spur. One last bridge over a railroad line south of Humphries Hill Road is crossed as C.H. James Parkway becomes Thornton Road. After the intersection with a dead end street named Center Street, US 278/SR 6 finally enters Lithia Springs and curves to the southeast.

Metro Atlanta area

In Lithia Springs, SR 6 continues southeast towards College Park, while US 278 turns left onto US 78/SR 5/SR 8, and returns to Austell. Within "downtown" Austell, US 78/US 278/SR 5/SR 8 becomes Veterans Memorial Highway, makes a sharp right turn and runs along the south side of a railroad line. East of a bridge over Sweetwater Creek, SR 5 splits from US 78/US 278/SR 8 at an interchange with Markham Road and heads slightly northeast through the western parts of Smyrna to just west of Dobbins Air Reserve Base. US 78/US 278/SR 8 curves southeast of the tracks, but meets up with them again as it enters Mableton, near Church Street Southwest and Old Floyd Road, only to move away from the tracks again where the routes also encounter the northern terminus of SR 139 which continues into Floyd Road Southwest. Veterans Memorial Highway curves more towards the southeast until just before passing by Lindley Middle School, where it briefly leads back towards the east, only to curve southeast again in the vicinity of Mount Harmony Memorial Gardens.

Veterans Memorial Highway ends at the bridge over the Chattahoochee River and becomes Donald Lee Hollowell Parkway Northwest as it enters Atlanta. The first site within the city is the industrial complex containing the Atlanta Public Safety Annex across from the site of the abandoned Bankhead Courts housing project and park. Across from an industrial park, it encounters the northern terminus of SR 70 and then approaches the first interchange with I-285 at exit 12. Continuing southeast, it travels along the southern edge of Brookview Heights and the northern edge of Collier Heights until it reaches SR 280. East of there, it travels through northern Center Hill and then into Grove Park. The highway intersects Hollywood Drive Northwest, and makes a sharp southeast curve at the same trajectory. It starts to move more towards the east before reaching the Bankhead neighborhood then runs under the Bankhead (MARTA station) along the MARTA Green Line. After an entrance to that station, the road becomes a divided highway as it travels along the northern edge of Maddox Park, then passes under another railroad bridge containing pylons for a second track. Almost instantly the divider ends before the intersection with Marietta Boulevard Northwest, then climbs an embankment to a bridge over an abandoned railroad line. From there, the highway travels straight east and after the intersection with Joseph E. Lowery Boulevard, enters the English Avenue neighborhood where it travels over another bridge over an abandoned railroad line. Donald Lee Hollowell Parkway Northwest ends at US 19/US 41 in front of Georgia Tech, and US 78/US 278/SR 8 turns southeast along US 19/US 41 (Northside Drive Northwest) to the southeast. At the end of the US 19/US 41 concurrency, the highway is joined by US 29 and all three US highways travel along North Avenue Northeast. Tunneling under some railroad lines, including some abandoned ones, US 29/US 78/US 278/SR 8 travels between Georgia Tech territory and Coca-Cola owned property. After traveling along the south side of Bobby Dodd Stadium, it encounters an interchange with I-75/I-85 (Downtown Connector), at exit 249D. Two blocks later, it passes by North Avenue (MARTA station), where North Avenue Northwest becomes North Avenue Northeast.

For one block between Juniper Street and Piedmont Avenue, US 29/US 78/US 278/SR 8 only travels eastbound along North Avenue Northeast. These two streets are one-way pairs along that block where the eastbound highways travel along that street, then turn north onto Piedmont Avenue and then east again onto Ponce de Leon Avenue, while the westbound highways travel from Piedmont to Juniper for one block along Ponce de Leon Avenue, then turn south onto Juniper Street and west again onto North Avenue Northeast. The southeast corner of Piedmont and Ponce de Leon includes the Savannah College of Art and Design's Ivy Hall Writing Center. US 29/US 78/US 278/SR 8 continues to wind through Historic Midtown and the Old Fourth Ward, where it travels along the northern edge of an A.I.D.S. hospice,[3] then the site of the former Ponce de Leon Park (now occupied by a shopping center) and Ponce City Market next to the bridge under the Atlanta Beltline Rail Trail. Traveling between the Poncey-Highland and Virginia-Highland neighborhoods, it approaches the western leg of the Freedom Parkway (a formerly proposed extension of SR 400), where the concurrency with SR 10 begins. The five highways pass the Briarcliff Plaza shopping center and intersect North Highland Avenue then travels along the southern edge of Atkins Park, where it encounters an intersection with US 23/SR 42 (Briarcliff Road Northeast / Moreland Avenue Northeast), and US 23 joins the concurrency as all four US routes and two state routes cross the DeKalb County line.

South Ponce de Leon Avenue immediately splits off to the southeast, but US 23/US 29/US 78/US 278/SR 8/SR 10 only travels along the main Ponce de Leon Avenue along the northern edges of Springdale Park, Virgilee Park, and Brightwood Park, while South Ponce de Leon travels along the south side of these parks. This pattern ends at Lullwater and Fairview Roads, but is repeated again shortly afterwards at Shady Side Park and Dellwood Park, where the routes enter Druid Hills. On the opposite side, a North Ponce de Leon Avenue runs along the northern edge of Deepdene Park while US 23/US 29/US 78/SR 8 branches off to the northeast traveling along the south side of that park, awaiting the reunification of North Ponce de Leon Avenue with its parent street.

US 278/SR 10 branches off to the southeast onto East Lake Road Northeast, and the first notable feature is the St. Elias Antiochian Orthodox Church, across from a triangle with US 23/US 29/US 78/SR 8, which also has a Jefferson Davis Highway marker. East Lake Road Northeast travels southeast as a two-lane road with a continuous center-left turn lane that is momentarily suspended by a divider at a railroad crossing as it enters East Lake, Georgia. The road curves south and has an intersection with a connecting road to West Howard Avenue. That road is one of two that travel along the MARTA Blue Line. US 278/SR 10 travels under West Howard Avenue, then the MARTA Blue Line as well as a parallel CSX freight line and College Avenue Northeast, and then turns right at a connecting road to the aforementioned road at East Lake (MARTA station). From there, the highway turns northeast onto College Avenue and follows the freight line. Across from a local street named Cambridge Avenue, the Blue Line leaves the right-of-way for the freight line as both enter Decatur. In the meantime, US 278/SR 10 has a short concurrency with SR 155 between South Candler Street and Commerce Drive. The Blue Line returns across from the freight line along US 278/SR 10, and after traveling under a pedestrian bridge for Avondale (MARTA station), the road curves away from both lines to the east. East of the Twin Oaks shopping center, the name of US 278/SR 10 changes from East College Avenue to North Avondale Road as it enters Avondale Estates, while a local street named South Avondale Road branches off to run parallel to it. The road curves again this time to the southeast at Clarendon Avenue.

State Route 12 concurrency

SR 10 leaves US 278 as it turns northeast onto Mountain Road, and SR 12 begins, replacing it as the route's concurrent state highway. SR 12 starts on the eastern edge Avondale Estates, continuing the southeast trajectory previously used by SR 10. Along the way, it intersects a local street named Kensington Road providing access to Kensington (MARTA station). The road briefly turns straight south after SR 154, but then turns southeast again crossing I-285 for the second time at exit 43. US 278/SR 12 continues through Lithonia, where it merges with and is concurrent with SR 124 until it reaches its southern terminus at I-20 at exit 75. From there, the three highways are concurrent through Conyers and Rockdale County to Covington in Newton County. In Covington, US 278/SR 12 splits from I-20 at exit 90 and parallels the interstate on its southern side in an easterly direction to south of Social Circle, where the two highways cross I-20 at exit 101 and continue to parallel the interstate, now on its northern side.

The highway continues into Morgan County and travels through Rutledge and then Madison where it has a concurrency with SR 83. Shortly after this, it has a wye intersection with SR 24 Spur, which also serves as part of US 278 Truck/SR 12 Truck. Curving northwest, it joins another concurrency with US 129/US 441/SR 24. Within downtown Madison, the concurrency with SR 83 ends when that highway turns north onto West Washington Street. The concurrency with US 129/US 441/SR 24 ends across from the northern terminus of US 129 Byp./US 441 Byp./US 278 Truck/SR 12 Truck/SR 24 Byp. (Madison Bypass).

Crossing a bridge over the Apalachee into Greene County,[4] the highway travels through part of the Oconee National Forest before heading through Greensboro where a concurrency with SR 15 begins at North Laurel Street and another one with SR 44 begins at South Main Street. The SR 15 concurrency ends at Siloam Road, but the one with SR 44 continues along US 278/SR 12 into Union Point, where SR 44 turns north onto SR 77, and US 278/SR 12 turns southeast onto another concurrency with SR 77 within the city. Continuing southeast into Taliaferro County, the highway passes through Crawfordville where it intersects SR 22. From Crawfordville, the highway heads southeast, crosses into Warren County, and crosses I-20 at exit 154 to its southern side once again south of Sharon. US 278/SR 12 continues south into Warrenton, turns straight east at an intersection with US 278 Byp./SR 12 Byp. traveling south of the city, then serves as the eastern terminus of SR 16. The intersection with SR 80 also serves as the east end of US 278 Byp./SR 12 Byp., then the highway travels northeast into McDuffie County. The intersection with Wire Road seems unimportant other than serving as a de facto connecting route with SR 17, which it will encounter in downtown Thomson. Beyond SR 17 the highway travels east and then southeast as SR 12 ends at another concurrency (US 78/SR 10/SR 17 Byp).

East to South Carolina

Though SR 12 ends at US 78/SR 10, US 278 returns to a second concurrency with US 78/SR 10 and all three highways travel to the southeast as Augusta Highway. SR 17 Byp. 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 ponds and streams named for the community. 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.[1]

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). At 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.[1]

Kmart store on US 1/US 78/US 278/SR 10 (Gordon Highway)

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 highways 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 travel to the east of Old Medical College and the Old Government House, then they have an interchange with US 25 Bus./SR 28 (Broad Street). Here, US 25 Bus. 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 ends, while US 1/US 25/US 78/US 278, travels concurrent with SC 121. The concurrency curves to the northeast toward North Augusta, and ultimately to Hilton Head Island, South Carolina.[1]
