State Route 70 begins just east of Newnan, Georgia at Millard Farmer Industrial Boulevard (S.R. 34 Bypass) and ends at Donald Lee Hollowell Parkway (U.S. 78/U.S. 278/S.R. 8) in northwest Atlanta (Bankhead).

Upon reaching the southwestern portion of Atlanta, in unincorporated Fulton County, S.R. 70 turns into Leroy Johnson-Fulton Industrial Boulevard (between I-20 and Donald Lee Hollowell Parkway/U.S. 78). At this point it is very heavily traveled, widening to a six-lane parkway. The state highway passes by Fulton County Airport at Charlie Brown Field.
