Route Description
Planned routes for the Garden Parkway would total between 21.5 to 23.7 miles (38.1 km) in length. The route begins between Gastonia and Bessemer City; going south, connecting US 29/US 74 and US 321. The route then goes east, connecting NC 274, NC 279, and NC 273. Crossing over the Catawba River, the route ends at Interstate 485/West Boulevard interchange in Mecklenburg County, immediately southwest of Charlotte/Douglas International Airport.
A connector road was also proposed between I-85 and US 321 just north of Gastonia. However, this does not appear anymore in current NCDOT maps.

Famous quotes containing the words route and/or description:
“The route through childhood is shaped by many forces, and it differs for each of us. Our biological inheritance, the temperament with which we are born, the care we receive, our family relationships, the place where we grow up, the schools we attend, the culture in which we participate, and the historical period in which we live—all these affect the paths we take through childhood and condition the remainder of our lives.”
—Robert H. Wozniak (20th century)
“Once a child has demonstrated his capacity for independent functioning in any area, his lapses into dependent behavior, even though temporary, make the mother feel that she is being taken advantage of....What only yesterday was a description of the child’s stage in life has become an indictment, a judgment.”
—Elaine Heffner (20th century)
