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:
“A route differs from a road not only because it is solely intended for vehicles, but also because it is merely a line that connects one point with another. A route has no meaning in itself; its meaning derives entirely from the two points that it connects. A road is a tribute to space. Every stretch of road has meaning in itself and invites us to stop. A route is the triumphant devaluation of space, which thanks to it has been reduced to a mere obstacle to human movement and a waste of time.”
—Milan Kundera (b. 1929)
“To give an accurate description of what has never occurred is not merely the proper occupation of the historian, but the inalienable privilege of any man of parts and culture.”
—Oscar Wilde (1854–1900)
