U.S. 411 Connector/Emerson-Cartersville Bypass
Hello, good people. It's Bryant, your friendly neighborhood southern roadgeek-man, again. :-D
Alright, now to the topics at hand: the U.S. 411 Connector and the Emerson-Cartersville bypass. Emerson and Cartersville are both in Bartow County, which is 32 miles or so north of downtown Atlanta. Emerson is in close proximity to Red Top Mountain State Park and Allatoona Lake. U.S. 411/S.R. 20 provide access to Rome and Gadsden through the northern Cartersville city limits. The stretch of S.R. 20 from I-75 to its multiplex with U.S. 41 and U.S. 411 is a very congested point, due many travelers utilizing the U.S. 411/S.R. 20 expressway to reach Rome and Gadsden. There have been talks of building a freeway from I-75 to the current Rome expressway on the northwestside of Cartersville, but that's still on paper, as of now.
Currently, GDOT is building the Emerson-Cartersville bypass, which will become apart of State Route 113. The bypass will utilize Red Top Mountain and Old Alabama roads, along with a new connector, currently under construction.
