Route Description
The 5.9 miles (9.5 km)-long route would have begun at the Downtown Connector (Interstate 75/Interstate 85) and used the proposed State Route 410 east to the junction with the also-proposed State Route 400. There it would have turned north to end at Interstate 85 near Lindbergh Drive (State Route 236). Each of those freeways would have continued beyond the ends of I-485. SR 410, the Stone Mountain Freeway, would continue east beyond the I-285 perimeter highway, and SR 400 would extend both north and south outside the perimeter. A short piece of I-485 (SR 410) was constructed from I-75 / I-85 east to Boulevard NE.

Famous quotes containing the words route and/or description:
“By a route obscure and lonely,
Haunted by ill angels only,
Where an eidolon, named Night,
On a black throne reigns upright,
I have reached these lands but newly
From an ultimate dim Thule—
From a wild weird clime that lieth, sublime,
Out of space—out of time.”
—Edgar Allan Poe (1809–1849)
“Everything to which we concede existence is a posit from the standpoint of a description of the theory-building process, and simultaneously real from the standpoint of the theory that is being built. Nor let us look down on the standpoint of the theory as make-believe; for we can never do better than occupy the standpoint of some theory or other, the best we can muster at the time.”
—Willard Van Orman Quine (b. 1908)
