Route description

SR 201 in Villanow, Georgia

SR 201 begins at an

unincorporated community of Mt. Vernon. Shortly afterward, SR 201 travels past the western edge of Rocky Face. There, it intersects US 41/US 76/SR 3 (Chattanooga Road), and the four highways travel concurrently north to Tunnel Hill, where SR 201 departs to the northeast, while US 41/US 76/SR 3 continue on Chattanooga Road. Just past the northeastern edge of Tunnel Hill is an interchange with Interstate 75 (I-75; Larry McDonald Memorial Highway). SR 201 continues heading northeast until it meets its northern terminus, an intersection with SR 2 in Varnell.[1]

SR 201 is not part of the National Highway System, a system of roadways important to the nation's economy, defense, and mobility.[4]

History

The roadway that would eventually become SR 201 was established between 1926 and the end of 1929 as part of SR 2, but on a slightly different path, from Villanow to

SR 158 was established from US 41/SR 3 in Tunnel Hill to SR 71 in Varnell.[16][17] Later that year, the Whitfield County portion of the Villanow–Tunnel Hill segment of SR 2 had a "completed hard surface".[17][18] At the end of 1941, the entire length of SR 158 was redesignated as part of SR 201.[2][3] By the end of 1946, SR 2 in Tunnel Hill was shifted back to Dalton, with the entire segment from Villanow to Dalton hard surfaced.[19][20] By the beginning of 1948, all of SR 201 at the time, except for its northern terminus, had a "sand clay, top soil, or stabilized earth" surface. Its northern terminus was hard surfaced.[20][21] The next year, SR 2 was shifted north. Its segment northeast of Villanow was redesignated as a southern extension of SR 201. The highway's northern segment was replaced by SR 2's new routing, thereby truncationg it to the western part of Varnell.[21][22] In 1953, the segment from Tunnel Hill–Varnell was hard surfaced.[23][24]
