Attapulgus business loop U.S. Highway 27 Business (
US 27 Bus.) is a
business route of US 27 that partially exists in the
city limits of
Attapulgus, Georgia. It is
concurrent with
State Route 1 Business (
SR 1 Bus.) for its entire length. US 27 Bus./SR 1 Bus. begin at an
intersection with
US 27/
SR 1 east-southeast of Attapulgus. It travels to the west-southwest and curves to the northwest. At the city limits of Attapulgus, it curves to a due-west direction. It travels just south of
Lillian E. Williams Elementary School and then intersects the northern terminus of
SR 241 (South Main Street). It curves to a nearly due-north direction before leaving the city. It travels through
rural areas of the county before a curve to the northeast. It meets its northern terminus, a second intersection with US 27/SR 1 (Tallahassee Highway), which is also the southern terminus of Hodges–Riley Road. The entire length of US 27 Bus./SR 1 Bus. is part of the
National Highway System, a system of routes determined to be the most important for the nation's economy, mobility, and defense. The roadway that would eventually become US 27 Bus./SR 1 Bus. was established at least as early as 1919 as part of SR 1. In the first half of 1936, this segment had a "completed hard surface". Between the beginning of 1953 and the 1960, SR 1 was routed on a more direct path between
Amsterdam and Attapulgus, with a "soil surface". In 1989, an eastern bypass of Attapulgus, designated as
SR 831, was proposed from east-southeast of the city to north-northwest of it. In 1995, US 27/SR 1 was shifted onto this bypass. Its former path was redesignated as SR 1 Bus. Between the beginning of 1996 and the beginning of 2011, US 27 Bus. was designated on the path of SR 1 Bus. ;Major intersections
Bainbridge business loop U.S. Highway 27 Business (
US 27 Bus.) is a
business route of US 27 that exists completely within the
city limits of
Bainbridge, Georgia. It is
concurrent with
State Route 1 Business (
SR 1 Bus.) for its entire length. It begins at an
interchange with
US 27/
US 84/
SR 1/
SR 38, which is a
freeway-grade
bypass of downtown Bainbridge. US 27 Bus./SR 1 Bus. travels to the north-northwest on Tallahassee Highway. The name changes to Scott Street at an
intersection with College Street. At Shotwell Street, they begin a concurrency with
US 84 Bus./
SR 38 Bus. The four highways head on a due-west direction. At South Broad Street, US 27 Bus./SR 1 Bus. ends its concurrency with US 84 Bus./SR 38 Bus. and begins one with
SR 97/
SR 309. They pass Willis Park and then split at Calhoun Street, with SR 97/SR 309 heading east and US 27 Bus./SR 1 Bus. heading west. They curve to the west-northwest and cross over the
Flint River. After this crossing, the local name changes to Dothan Road. At Newton Road, they begin a brief concurrency with
SR 253; at Spring Creek Road, SR 253 splits off. They then reach their northern terminus, another interchange with the US 27/US 84/SR 1/SR 38 bypass. Here, US 84/SR 38 takes on the Dothan Road name; US 27/SR 1 uses the Colquitt Highway name. The roadway that would eventually become US 27 Bus./SR 1 Bus. was established at least as early as 1919 as part of SR 1. By the end of 1939, this segment of US 27/SR 1 had a "completed hard surface". Between the beginning of 1960 and the beginning of 1965, US 27 (and possibly SR 1) in the Bainbridge area was shifted onto the bypass, at the time designated as
SR 38 Loop. The former path of US 27 was redesignated US 27 Bus. By the beginning of 1977, SR 1 Bus. was indicated to be designated on US 27 Bus. in the city. In 1976, SR 38 Loop was
decommissioned, with the SR 38 mainline designated on its former path. The former path of SR 38 was redesignated as SR 38 Bus. ;Major intersections
Blakely business loop U.S. Highway 27 Business (
US 27 Bus.) is a
business route of US 27 that exists completely within the
city limits of
Blakely, Georgia. It travels
concurrent with
State Route 1 Business (
SR 1 Bus.) for its entire length. US 27 Bus./SR 1 Bus. begins at an
intersection with
US 27/
SR 1 in the southeastern part of the city. They travel northwest on South Main Street and curve to a nearly due-north direction just before an intersection with
SR 39 (East South Boulevard). US 27 Bus./SR 1 Bus./SR 39 continue to the north. Just to the east of Early County High and Middle schools,
SR 62 (Columbia Street) joins the concurrency. This intersection also marks the western terminus of Bob White Avenue. Two blocks later, the concurrency begins to travel around the
town square. On the east side of this square, SR 62 departs the concurrency. The concurrent highways continue northward, crossing over some
railroad tracks of
Norfolk Southern Railway and intersect
SR 62 Byp. (Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard). At this intersection, SR 39 departs the concurrency. US 27 Bus./SR 1 Bus. begins curving to the northwest and head to the east-southeast just before reaching their northern terminus, a second intersection with US 27/SR 1. Between the beginning of 1920 and the end of 1921, the
Colquitt–
Cuthbert section, which formerly traveled through
Arlington and
Edison, was shifted westward to travel through Blakely. By the end of 1934, US 27 was designated on all of SR 1. The next year, US 27/SR 1 in the Blakely area was shifted eastward, onto the path of SR 838. The former path through the city became US 27 Bus./SR 1 Bus. ;Major intersections
Cuthbert business loop U.S. Highway 27 Business (
US 27 Bus.) is a
business route of US 27 that partially exists in the
city limits of
Cuthbert, Georgia. It is
concurrent with
State Route 1 Business (
SR 1 Bus.) for its entire length. US 27 Bus./SR 1 Bus. starts at an
intersection with
US 27/
SR 1 south of Cuthbert. They travel on Blakely Street to the northwest and curve to the north-northeast. Just south of the city limits, they intersect the northern terminus of Edison Highway, which leads to
SR 216. They cross over some
railroad tracks of
Norfolk Southern Railway. In downtown, they intersect
US 82/
SR 50 at the
town square (which functions like a
traffic circle around a memorial park). The four highways have a brief concurrency around the town square. After departing the town square, US 27/SR 1 curves to the north-northwest before resuming its north-northeast direction. After crossing over Town Branch, US 27 Bus./SR 1 Bus. leaves the city limits. It curves to the northeast and reaches its northern terminus, a second intersection with US 27/SR 1. The roadway that would eventually become US 27 Bus./SR 1 Bus. was established at least as early as 1919 as part of SR 1 from
Edison, through Cuthbert, and into
Lumpkin. In the third quarter of 1939, the southern part of the Randolph County portion of the Cuthbert–Lumpkin segment also had a completed hard surface. ;Major intersections
Lumpkin connector route State Route 1 Connector (
SR 1 Conn.) is a
connecting route of SR 1 that exists almost entirely within the
city limits of
Lumpkin, Georgia. It begins at an
intersection with
SR 27 (Broad Street) in the west-central part of the city. It travels nearly due north on Chestnut Street for one block to an intersection with the eastern terminus of
SR 39 Conn. (Florence Street). It curves to the north-northeast and crosses over some
railroad tracks of
CSX Transportation before leaving the city. Almost immediately, it curves to the northwest and reaches its northern terminus, an intersection with
US 27/
SR 1. In 2001, SR 1 Conn. was established on its current path. ;Major intersections
Columbus business loop State Route 1 Business (
SR 1 Bus.) was a
business route of
SR 1 that existed mostly within
Columbus, Georgia. The roadway that would eventually become SR 1 Bus. was established at least as early as 1919 as part of SR 1 in the
Columbus metropolitan area. In 1975, this freeway was redesignated as part of
Interstate 185 (I-185; with the
unsigned designation
SR 411). SR 1 was reverted onto its former path, replacing SR 1 Bus. In 1934, this road's northern terminus was shifted northwest to just southeast of Columbus. At the end of the year, it again had a completed hard surface. By February 1948, it was extended northwest into Columbus, on Cusseta Road, then right onto 10th Avenue, and then left on 8th Street to end at
US 27/
US 280/SR 1. Between April 1949 and August 1950, its northern terminus was shifted east-northeast, onto Brown Avenue, to end at
SR 103 (Buena Vista Road). Between the beginning of 1953 and the beginning of 1964, SR 1 Spur's northern terminus was truncated to its original point, at US 27/US 280/SR 1 north of Fort Benning. Its former path north of US 27/US 280/SR 1 on Fort Benning Road was redesignated as
SR 357; its path on Cusseta Road and Brown Avenue was redesignated as
SR 103 Spur. In 1969, SR 357 was extended south-southwest, replacing all of SR 1 Spur. ;Major intersections This table shows SR 1 Spur at its greatest extent (1948 to 1949).
Columbus spur route 2 State Route 1 Spur (
SR 1 Spur) was a
spur route of
SR 1 that existed entirely within the
city limits of
Columbus, Georgia. Between June 1960 and June 1963, it was established on 4th Street from the
Alabama state line to
US 27/
US 280/SR 1 (4th Avenue). Between the beginning of 1953 and the beginning of 1964, US 280 in Columbus was shifted southwestward onto the path of SR 1 Spur. In 1988,
SR 55 in the
Columbus metropolitan area and SR 1 Spur were redesignated as part of
SR 520. At this time, US 80 was shifted northward, off this path. ;Major intersections'
Bremen business loop U.S. Highway 27 Business (
US 27 Bus.) is a
business route of
US 27 that exists almost entirely within the
city limits of
Bremen, Georgia. It is
concurrent with
State Route 1 Business (
SR 1 Bus.) for its entire length. US 27 Bus./SR 1 begins at an
intersection with US 27/
SR 1 in the southern part of the city, just north of
I-20, in the north-central part of
Carroll County. The business routes head to the northeast, enter
Haralson County, and briefly leave the city limits. Just after reentering, they travel under a
railroad bridge that carries
railroad tracks of
Norfolk Southern Railway. They curve to the north-northwest and pass Higgins General Hospital at a point just west of
Bremen High School. They intersect
US 78/
SR 8 (Atlantic Avenue/Pacific Avenue). Immediately on the north side of the intersection are railroad tracks for
Southern and Norfolk Southern railways. They continue to the north-northwest and leave the city again before reaching their northern terminus, a second intersection with US 27/SR 1 north-northwest of the city. The entire length of US 27 Bus./SR 1 Bus. is part of the
National Highway System, a system of routes determined to be the most important for the nation's economy, mobility, and defense. Between September 1938 and July 1939, a portion in the southern part of the city also had a completed hard surface. ;Major intersections
Rome loop route State Route 1 Loop (
SR 1 Loop) is an
loop route of
SR 1 that exists in the east-central part of
Floyd County, Georgia, almost entirely within the
city limits of
Rome. It begins at an
intersection with
US 411/
SR 20 in the extreme southeastern corner of Rome. Here, the roadway continues as Mathis Road. It travels to the north-northeast and crosses over the
Etowah River. SR 1 Loop curves to the north-northwest, leaves the city limits, and intersects
SR 293 (Kingston Road). It curves to the northwest and travels on a bridge over some
railroad tracks of
Norfolk Southern Railway before reentering the city limits of Rome. Almost immediately is an intersection with
SR 53 (New Calhoun Highway). It curves to the west-southwest and passes
AdventHealth Stadium, the home stadium of the
Minor League Baseball team
Rome Emperors. The loop crosses over the
Oostanaula River before intersecting
US 27/SR 1 on the southeastern corner of
Berry College. On the southwestern corner, it crosses over Little Dry Creek. The highway curves to the northwest and travels to the north of
AdventHealth Redmond. It travels to the west and curves to the south. It crosses over some railroad tracks of Norfolk Southern Railway. SR 1 Loop curves to the southwest and crosses over more railroad tracks of Norfolk Southern Railway before reaching its northern terminus, a second intersection with SR 20. Here, the roadway continues as Coosawattee Avenue. The entire current length of SR 1 Loop (and the entire length of the unbuilt portion in between the two sections) is part of the
National Highway System, a system of routes determined to be the most important for the nation's economy, mobility, and defense. In 1985,
SR 53 Spur was built from US 27/SR 1 just south of
Mount Berry to SR 53 northeast of Rome; it was proposed to be extended west-northwest and south-southwest to SR 20 west-northwest of Rome.
SR 746 was proposed from US 411/SR 20 southeast of Rome north-northeast and northwest to tie into the path of SR 53 Spur at an intersection with SR 53. The next year, the portion west of US 27/SR 1 was cancelled. By the end of 1930,
US 41W was designated on SR 1 from
Rome to LaFayette. By the beginning of 1932, a portion of US 41W/SR 1 in the northern part of the city had a completed hard surface. By the end of 1934, US 41W was
decommissioned, and US 27 was designated on the entire length of SR 1. In 1988, US 27/SR 1 in the area was shifted eastward, onto the path of SR 730. Its former path through the city was redesignated as US 27 Bus./SR 1 Bus. ;Major intersections ==Tennessee==
