This is a List of former state routes in the U.S. state of Georgia. This list represents routes that traveled through the state but are no longer in operation, have been decommissioned, or have been renumbered.

Route 9E

State Route 9E
Location: Forsyth, Dawson, and Lumpkin counties
Length: 21.319 mi[1] (34.310 km)
Existed: Early 1941–around 1982

State Route 9E (SR 9E) was originally constructed early in 1941.[2] In July 1981, as the extension of SR 400 had reached SR 60 in Dahlonega, this designation was removed.[3]

The routing that was followed by SR 9E starts where Hopewell Road splits from the current SR 9 north of Coal Mountain in Forsyth County, and parallels SR 400 very closely. The road changes names to Lumpkin Campground Road as it crosses into Dawson County, passes by the North Georgia Premium Outlet Mall, then crosses SR 53 and SR 400 in rapid succession. Just before intersecting with SR 136 the road changes names again to Harmony Church Road, then is called Auraria Road as it becomes SR 136. The road crosses SR 400 once more to its west, parts ways with SR 136, then travels north through the community of Auraria into Lumpkin County to its northern terminus at SR 9/SR 52 west of Dahlonega.[1] [4]

Route 69

State Route 69
Location: Towns County
Length: 1 mi[5] (2 km)
Existed: Early 1930s–1958

State Route 69 (SR 69) was a state route located entirely in Towns County in the extreme northern part of the state. The route traveled from US 76/SR 2 north to the North Carolina state line, where it became North Carolina Highway 69. SR 69 followed the roadway currently designated as the concurrency of SR 17/SR 515. It was formed sometime in the early 1930s, and was renumbered in 1958.

Route 131

State Route 131
Location:

State Route 131 (SR 131) was a state route located entirely in McIntosh County in the coastal part of the state. Established as a highway number in 1936, the first routing followed present-day SR 99 east of US 17 from Darien to the present-day terminus of SR 57. It was moved to Harris Neck Road east of US 17 as a fully paved route in 1944 and extended along Jones Road in 1948 via a brief concurrency with US 17. When the route was extended along Jones Road, it became a double spur with both sections extending off of US 17/SR 25. This was the only such instance of a highway in Georgia where neither of the two endpoints terminated at a state highway. The western leg of SR 131 extended to the Jones community along present-day Jones Road continuing as a county road beyond the western end. The eastern portion (Harris Neck Road) extended to Harris Neck National Wildlife Refuge. The western leg was the first to be decommissioned, turned to the county in 1977. The eastern leg lasted longer, most likely held back to obtain funding for a couple bridge replacement projects, until 1989.

Route 134

State Route 134
Location:

State Route 134 (SR 134) was a state route located in Telfair and Wheeler Counties. It began at SR 149 and ended at SR 19. This route is now Tom Haley Road from SR 149 to US 23 and County Road 197 from US 23 to SR 19.

Route 143

State Route 143
Location: Dade, Walker, Gordon, and Pickens counties
Length: 61.044 mi[1] (98.241 km)
Existed: 1937–1979

The designation of State Route 143 (SR 143) was initially used for a 18.8-mile-long (30.3 km) stretch of what is today signed as SR 136 and SR 136 Connector, from an intersection with SR 2 east of LaFayette to Georgia.[6] By 1941, an additional portion of SR 143 had been graded, traveling from SR 53 east of Fairmount to SR 5 in Tate; this roadway is called Henderson Mountain Road to its intersection with SR 108, and is designated as SR 108 to Tate at the present.[7] By 1949, the part of today's SR 136 from the Alabama state line to Calhoun had all been re-designated as SR 143.[8] It was in 1979 when the portion of the route from the Alabama state line to Calhoun was re-designated as SR 136, and the portion from Fairmount to Tate as SR 379, which meant the disappearance of the designation of SR 143 in Georgia.[9] The primary portion of SR 143, from the Alabama state line to Calhoun, measured 61.044 miles (98.241 km).[1]

Route 148

Route 160

State Route 160
Location: Clayton County and DeKalb County
Length: 5.7 mi (9.2 km)

State Route 160 (SR 160) was a state route in northern Clayton and southwestern DeKalb counties. Its western terminus was at US 19/US 41 and SR 3 near I-285, from which it proceeded in an east-southeasterly direction through Forest Park for approximately 2.0 miles (3.2 km) to an intersection with SR 54 near Lake City. The route then turned north-northwest, concurrent with SR 54 for about 1.4 miles (2.3 km), then turned northeast for 2.3 miles (3.7 km) before reaching its eastern terminus at US 23/SR 42, again near I-285.

SR 160 was turned back to local maintenance in the mid-1990s, likely due to its proximity to SR 331, which was separated from SR 160 by little more than a set of railroad tracks in Forest Park. The segment between SR 54 and US 23 still survives as SR 54 Connector.

For a time, it was uncertain whether the designation route had in fact been removed in full due to an official Georgia Department of Transportation map of Clayton County dated 2005 continuing to label a portion of the route between SR 54 and the DeKalb County line as SR 160. However, that map was later updated and the label was changed to indicate the route as SR 54 Connector.

Route 161

State Route 161
Location: CedartownCave Spring

State Route 161 (SR 161) was a state route in southern Floyd and northern Polk counties. Its southern terminus was at US 27/SR 1 in Cedartown (now both Business Routes). It proceeded northwest to Cave Spring to an intersection with US 411/SR 53. The route was later redesignated in as an extended SR 100.

State Route 176 (SR 176) in Georgia was a state route in Cobb County. It traveled for about 15 miles (24 km) from US 278 (C.H. James Parkway) in Powder Springs to US 41 (Cobb Parkway) in Acworth. SR 176 was located entirely within Cobb County. The route was also known as Richard Sailors Parkway, New Macland Road, Lost Mountain Road, and Mars Hill Road. Famous landmarks along the former route include Lost Mountain Store, which is now a bank, and McEachern High School, which was once an A&M school. SR 176 was turned over to county maintenance in 2010.

Route 205

State Route 205
Location: Cherokee County

State Route 205 (SR 205) was assigned to Bells Ferry Road in Cherokee County. This route was turned over to county maintenance in 1985. Though Bells Ferry Road does connect downtown Marietta with Canton, SR 205 began at its intersection with SR 92 in the Oak Grove district of southern Cherokee County. In the mid 1990s, Bells Ferry Road underwent an upgrade to a four-lane urban design roadway. This expansion of Bells Ferry Road, including part of the former SR 205, started at I-575 and ended at South Fork Way, just north of Kellogg Creek Road (Old SR 92).

Motorists use this road to access places such as the Little River Marina area of Lake Allatoona, Towne Lake Parkway, and the Bridge Mill development area south of Canton. The route originally formed a cutoff between Acworth and Canton that was needed until the need was reduced by the completion of I-575. There are no plans to restore the state designation of 205.

Route 754

State Route 754
Location: Marietta-Woodstock
Existed: 1986–2000

State Route 754 (SR 754) was a designation assigned to Canton Road in Cobb and Cherokee counties in the U.S. state of Georgia. It began at SR 5 Spur in Marietta and ended at SR 92 in Woodstock.

The highway designation was assigned in 1986 to replace SR 5 when it was removed from Canton Road, to allow the state to fund improvements to the road. As portions of the project were completed or cancelled, the SR 754 designation was gradually rescinded, finally being removed altogether in 2000.

Canton Road was designated as SR 754 when SR 5 was relocated to I-575 in 1986. This number was assigned to Old SR 5 to facilitate funding for the completion of a previously planned widening project along the two- and three-lane portions of route between the Canton Road Connector (SR 5 Spur) and Sixes Road in Holly Springs. No portion of the route was either signed nor maintained by the Georgia Department of Transportation.

The portion between SR 92 and Sixes Road was decommissioned in the early 1990s when the widening project was canceled, although improvements were constructed on that portion. The remainder was built from south to north and was decommissioned in phases as each portion was completed respectively in 1992, 1995, and 1998. The last portion was completed as an extension of the SR 92 widening project in the city of Woodstock in 2000 between the Woodstock city limits and just north of SR 92. When that last section was completed, SR 754 was decommissioned.

SR 754 is unique in the amount of confusion it caused. Maps continue to show the route 20 years after it first appeared, though it only existed on paper. Part of this is because it was a logical extension of SR 5 Spur, which ends where the Canton Road Connector to I-75 meets the former SR 5 mainline. Locals today continue to call this road "Highway 5" in addition to Canton Road.
