Interstate 420 (Georgia)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Interstate 420 (abbreviated I-420) was a highway planned to split off of Interstate 20 at Douglasville, Georgia on the west side of metro Atlanta, then continue eastward to the south of downtown Atlanta, merging at a highway interchange with proposed Interstate 475 and traveling northeastward with it back to I-20. The only portion of it actually built was State Route 166, known as Lakewood Freeway and now Langford Parkway. The portion west of I-285 on the west side, and east of I-75 were never built, due to the public opposition which saved those communities in its path. The I-475 it was to connect to was never built either, for the same reason.

Due to the slang meaning of the number 420, it is unlikely that number will be used for a real Interstate highway, particularly since "Interstate 420" shields have shown up on t-shirts.
