Aerial Road Shot of the Week - 12/10/2005


Dear Fellow Road Enthusiasts,

After taking some "virtual trips" on some of Georgia's highways via Terraserver-USA, plus being inspired by Michael Adams's "Highway Heaven" aerial shot features, I decided to start an "Aerial Road Shot of the Week".

These will feature various highways throughout the State of Georgia.

This week's feature is an aerial shot of the interchange between US 23/GA 365 and US 441/GA 15 in Cornelia.

Above image obtained from Terraserver USA website.

From this point northward, US 23 and US 441 share pavement until they reach Sylva, North Carolina.

US 23/441 from Cornelia to the North Carolina state line make up the northernmost portion of Georgia's US 441 Governor's Road Improvement Program (GRIP) corridor (GDOT Project EDS-441). This GRIP corridor runs southward along US 441 to the Florida state line.

To the southwest of this interchange, US 23/GA 365 takes you to Gainesville, where, at the interchange with US 129 North/GA 369 (Exit 24), it becomes I-985.

Please let us know if you enjoy this feature and feel free to make your own suggestions for our "Aerial Road Shot of the Week" by e-mailing georgiaroadgeek at bellsouth dot net. As a token of our appreciation, we'll even mail you an official "Georgia Road Geek" magnet if you give us your postal address. :)

Thanks for visiting and please do so often.
