Interstate 20 Georgia

Interstate 20 Georgia
I-20 enters the Peach State near Tallapoosa and immediately enters the Atlanta metro area. On clear days, eastbound motorists get their first view of downtown as they come over the top of Six Flags Hill. In Atlanta, the highway passes through the heart of the city, crossing Interstates 75 and 85 (the Downtown Connector) and continues eastward through the state until it exits the state at Augusta.

Throughout the state, I-20 is conjoined with Georgia Highway 402. However, signs for Highway 402 are not in place. Also, I-20 from the Alabama state line to Interstate 285 in Atlanta is named the Tom Murphy Freeway while it is called the Ralph David Abernathy Freeway within I-285. The highway is also named the Purple Heart Highway from I-285 in Dekalb County to U.S. 441 and the Carl Sanders Highway from U.S. 441 to the South Carolina state line.
