State Route 126 (SR-126) is an 11-mile-long (18 km) route in Montgomery County. The route serves as both the northern and southern frontage roads between exits 11 and 16 along Interstate 85 (I-85) and U.S. Route 80 (US-80). Prior to US-80's realignment onto I-85 in November 2010, SR-126 was only the northern frontage road. SR-126 begins at itself, a consequence of the realignment as it forms a complete loop. A 308-foot-long (94 m) spur from the route's beginning marks the end of the route.

Route description

SR-126 is a two-lane route that runs parallel to I-85 and US-80. SR-126 is routed directly north of the southbound lanes of I-85/US-80 and south of its northbound lanes. SR-126 is in clear view of I-85 and US-80 between Mileposts 12 and 21 along I-85. The route north of I-85 is the original section of the route. When US-80 was rerouted onto I-85, SR-126 was extended to run along the original route of US-80, which was the roadway paralleling the northbound lanes of I-85.

Major intersections

The entire route is in Montgomery County.
