SR154 begins at an intersection with SR54 in Sharpsburg, in Coweta County. It heads northwest and intersects with SR34 just west of Peachtree City and continues northwest where it has an interchange with Interstate 85 (I-85) at exit 51. Less than 1 mile (1.6km) north, SR154 meets US29/SR14 and turns north and runs concurrent with US29/SR14 to the northeast. In Palmetto, US29/SR14 (Roosevelt Highway) split to the northeast, while SR154 heads north, concurrent with US29 Alternate/SR14 Alternate through town, until US29 Alternate/SR14 Alternate depart to the east-northeast, along South Fulton Parkway. The route continues to the north and intersects SR70 (Cochran Mill Road). The two roads begin a concurrency to the northwest. They meet SR92. The three highways cross the Chattahoochee River, which marks the Coweta–Fulton county line. Then, they intersect SR166 (Duncan Memorial Highway), which joins the concurrency. The four routes head to the northeast concurrently, until SR92 (Fairburn Road) splits to the northwest and the other three highways heads east to cross over the Chattahoochee River again, and cross back into Fulton County. About 1 mile (1.6km) later, SR70 (Fulton Industrial Boulevard SW) departs to the northeast, while SR154/SR166 continue to the east. Just a little bit later, they cross SR6 (Camp Creek Parkway), entering the Sandtown community on its way to the Ben Hill neighborhood of Atlanta, northeast of which they have an interchange with I-285 (The Perimeter/Atlanta Bypass).[1]
SR154/SR166 head east as the Arthur B. Langford Jr. Parkway, a limited-access freeway that was originally named the Lakewood Freeway and was planned as I-420. It runs along the East Point–Atlanta city line, with a brief cross into East Point proper, before running along the city line again. The Parkway passes Fort McPherson Army base. The concurrent routes meets US29/SR14/SR139 (Main Street/Lee Street SW). SR154 heads north-northeast into Atlanta proper, concurrent with these three highways. Just before reaching I-20, SR139 departs to the west (on Ralph David Abernathy Boulevard), while US29/SR14/SR154 continue to the north-northeast. They cross under, but don't have an interchange with, I-20. After only about 600 feet (180m), US29 departs to the northwest, concurrent along Chapel Street SW, along with SR3 Connector. SR14/SR154 heads northeast and cross over, but don't intersect, US19/US41/SR3. At the intersection with Spring Street SW, SR14 abruptly ends, and SR154 continues eastward. A short distance later, it crosses over, but doesn't have an interchange with, I-75/I-85. SR154 parallels I-20 along Memorial Drive SE, intersecting US23/SR42 (Moreland Avenue SE), which forms the Fulton–DeKalb county line. Then, it meets SR155 (Candler Road SE). SR154 heads northeast to an intersection with US278/SR12 (Covington Highway). It continues to the northeast for about 2,000 feet (610m) until it meets its eastern terminus, an intersection with SR10 (Mountain Drive/Memorial Drive).[1]
National Highway System
The only parts of SR154 that are part of the National Highway System, a system of roadways important to the nation's economy, defense, and mobility, are those parts concurrent with US29/SR14 southwest of Palmetto; US29 Alternate/SR14 Alternate in, and northeast of, Palmetto; and the Langford Parkway in East Point and Atlanta.[2]
State Route154 Connector (SR154 Conn.) is a 0.5-mile-long (0.80km)connecting route of SR154 that exists entirely within the southeastern part of Atlanta, in Fulton County.
State Route 154 Spur (SR154 Spur) exists entirely within the central part of DeKalb County, southeast of Avondale Estates.
It begins at an intersection with the SR154 mainline (Memorial Drive SE) and runs in a generally eastern route to meet its eastern terminus, an intersection with US278/SR12 (Covington Highway).[4]
SR154 Spur is not part of the National Highway System, a system of roadways important to the nation's economy, defense, and mobility.[2]
