'''U.S. Route&nbsp;278''' ('''US&nbsp;278''') in the state of [[Georgia (U.S. state)|Georgia]] is a {{convert|235.4|mi|km|adj=mid|-long}} east–west [[United States Numbered Highway]] traversing the north-central portion of the state. The highway travels from the [[Alabama]] state line near [[Esom Hill, Georgia|Esom Hill]] to the [[South Carolina]] state line where it crosses the [[Savannah River]] in the [[Augusta metropolitan area]].

The route is [[Concurrency (road)|concurrent]] with [[Georgia State Route 6|SR&nbsp;6]] from the Alabama state line to [[Lithia Springs, Georgia|Lithia Springs]], [[Georgia State Route 100|SR&nbsp;100]] and [[Georgia State Route 1|SR&nbsp;1]] in [[Cedartown, Georgia|Cedartown]], [[Georgia State Route 8|SR&nbsp;8]] from Lithia Springs to [[Decatur, Georgia|Decatur]], [[Georgia State Route 5|SR&nbsp;5]] from Lithia Springs to [[Austell, Georgia|Austell]], and [[Georgia State Route 10|SR&nbsp;10]] from [[Atlanta]] to [[Avondale Estates, Georgia|Avondale Estates]], and again from [[Thomson, Georgia|Thomson]] to the South Carolina state line. It is entirely concurrent with SR&nbsp;12 for {{convert|118|mi|km}},<ref name="Google">{{Google maps |url=https://maps.google.com/maps?hl=en&q=from:+corner%20of%20US-278/GA-10%20and%20GA-12%20@33.767928,%20-84.25149+to:+corner%20of%20US-78/US-278/GA-10%20and%20GA-12%20@33.462595,%20-82.500587 |title=Overview map of SR&nbsp;12 |access-date=November 14, 2012 }}</ref> and is briefly concurrent with the southern terminus of [[Georgia State Route 124|SR&nbsp;124]] in [[Lithonia, Georgia|Lithonia]].

Concurrencies of US&nbsp;278 with US highways in Georgia include two long ones with its parent route [[U.S. Route 78 in Georgia|US&nbsp;78]] from Lithia Springs to [[Druid Hills, Georgia|Druid Hills]], and again from east of Thomson to the South Carolina state line. Others include [[U.S. Route 19 in Georgia|US&nbsp;19]]/[[U.S. Route 41 in Georgia|US&nbsp;41]] in the vicinity of [[Georgia Tech]] in Atlanta, [[U.S. Route 29 in Georgia|US&nbsp;29]] from Georgia Tech to Druid Hills, [[U.S. Route 23 in Georgia|US&nbsp;23]] from the eastern part of Atlanta to Druid Hills, [[U.S. Route 129 in Georgia|US&nbsp;129]]/[[U.S. Route 441 in Georgia|US&nbsp;441]] in the vicinity of [[Madison, Georgia|Madison]], [[U.S. Route 1 in Georgia|US&nbsp;1]] from Augusta to the South Carolina state line, and [[U.S. Route 25 in Georgia|US&nbsp;25]] from Augusta to the South Carolina state line.

It is also concurrent with [[Interstate 20 in Georgia|I-20]] from exit 75 in [[Lithonia, Georgia|Lithonia]] until it reaches exit 90 in [[Covington, Georgia|Covington]] in [[Newton County, Georgia|Newton County]]. US&nbsp;278 largely travels parallel to I-20 from [[Douglas County, Georgia|Douglas County]] to [[Aiken County, South Carolina]].

=== State Route 6 concurrency ===
The highway starts at the [[Alabama]] state line, near [[Esom Hill, Georgia|Esom Hill]] in [[Polk County, Georgia|Polk County]], and is concurrent with [[Georgia State Route 6|SR&nbsp;6]] from its western terminus. It travels southeast as a two-lane undivided highway until the intersection with Hardin Road, where it curves northeast. Along the way, it travels straight east along the north edge of a waterway known as Esom Slough, then turns to the northeast again at the intersection with Brewster Field Road. Getting away from Esom Hill, it travels through a community known as [[Akes, Georgia|Akes]], and only has intersections with three local roads; Branch Road to the northwest, Akes Station Road to the southwest, and Lewis Drive West to the southeast, From there the highway takes another curve to the northeast, although this time more directly than earlier. At some point, it also passes a short formerly proposed eastbound right-of-way. Just before entering [[Cedartown, Georgia|Cedartown]], the road is joined by a concurrency with [[Georgia State Route 100|SR&nbsp;100]] (Canal Road). At a bridge over an abandoned [[Seaboard Air Line Railroad]] line, it travels over a connecting spur to the [[Silver Comet Trail]], and officially enters the City of Cedartown. The spur leads to a trailhead on the northeast corner of the bridge, while the trail itself travels along the south side of the road beginning at the southeast corner of the bridge. The trail continues to run along the south side of the road as it passes an [[Underwriters Laboratory]] building, and then crosses a bridge over Dry Creek, where it loops around like the inner ramps of a [[cloverleaf interchange]] and leaves the side of the road to travel along the east bank of the creek. Condominiums are along the north side of the road and single-family houses line the south side until it reaches [[U.S. Route 27 Business (Cedartown, Georgia)|U.S. Route&nbsp;27 Bus.]]/[[Georgia State Route 1 Business (Cedartown)|SR&nbsp;1 Bus.]] (Main Street). From there, Canal Street becomes Martin Luther King, Junior Boulevard. This segment of the highway shifts between southeast and east trajectories and, at one point, crosses an at-grade former [[Central of Georgia Railway]] line. MLK Jr Boulevard travels southeast for the last time and ends at a short concurrency with [[U.S. Route 27 in Georgia|US&nbsp;27]]/[[Georgia State Route 1|SR&nbsp;1]], where SR&nbsp;100 turns south and US&nbsp;278/SR&nbsp;6 turns north. That concurrency ends at an overpass with two connecting roads on the southwest and northeast corners.

The Silver Comet Trail, which travels in close proximity with US&nbsp;278 from the Alabama state line flanks the highway directly along the south side for the second time east of the bridge over [[Fish Creek (Georgia)|Fish Creek]].<ref>[http://www.silvercometga.com/silver-comet-map/silver-comet-map.shtml Silver Comet Trail Map]</ref> At the border with [[Rockmart, Georgia|Rockmart]], [[U.S. Route 278 Business (Rockmart, Georgia)|US&nbsp;278 Bus.]]/[[Georgia State Route 6 Business (Rockmart)|SR&nbsp;6 Bus.]] branches off to the southeast, while mainline US&nbsp;278/SR&nbsp;6 curves to the northeast onto Nathan Dean Parkway. Before the intersection of Calloway Drive, the Silver Comet Trail makes a sharp turn south. The eastern terminus of US&nbsp;278 Bus./SR&nbsp;6 Bus. is also the west end of the concurrency with [[Georgia State Route 101|SR&nbsp;101]]. US&nbsp;278/SR&nbsp;6/SR&nbsp;101 makes a slight turn to the southeast where it encounters the intersection with [[Georgia State Route 113|SR&nbsp;113]], and that route joins them as they all turns south. US&nbsp;278/SR&nbsp;6/SR&nbsp;101/SR&nbsp;113 leaves the [[city limits]] at a bridge over Braswell Road and a parallel railroad line. Just after the intersection with Fairview Road, the routes curve to the southeast. The concurrency travels over a bridge above the Silver Comet Trail again, just before the intersection with Atlanta Highway and Coots Lake Road, the former of which was once a segment of US&nbsp;278/SR&nbsp;6/SR&nbsp;101/SR&nbsp;113.<!--Google Maps claims it's still SR 113.--> Not long after this, the highway passes by [[Coots Lake]], for which the latter road is named. SR&nbsp;101/SR&nbsp;113 leaves the concurrency a little further southeast, and after descending into a slight valley, US&nbsp;278/SR&nbsp;6 crosses the Polk–[[Paulding County, Georgia|Paulding]] county line, where the street name is changed to Rockmart Highway. Along the way, it passes by few sites of any note other than [[Paulding Northwest Atlanta Airport]]. Further east, a former segment on the opposite side called "Wayside Lane" begins, which serves the Lillian C. Poole Elementary School, and Wayside Baptist Church. Wayside Lane ends west of a power line right-of-way.

After the west end of Olivet Loop (another former segment) and at a break in the median, the route officially enters [[Dallas, Georgia|Dallas]]. At the intersection of the east end of Olivet Loop and Vista Lake Drive, Rockmart Highway becomes the Jimmy Campbell Parkway. What passes for a major intersection after this is West Memorial Drive, another former segment of the highways. A real major intersection follows shortly, specifically Buchanan Street, where [[Georgia State Route 120|SR&nbsp;120]] and [[Georgia State Route 6 Business (Dallas)|SR&nbsp;6 Bus.]] meet. SR&nbsp;120 joins US&nbsp;278/SR&nbsp;6 in a concurrency and curves further southeast away from Downtown Dallas. At a self-storage facility, the highways curve to the east again just before the intersection with Academy Drive and Vernoy–Aiken Road, and then intersects [[Georgia State Route 61|SR&nbsp;61]] just before curving to the southeast again. Just after curving back towards the east, it crosses a bridge over a former [[Seaboard Air Line Railroad]] line and becomes the Jimmy Lee Smith Parkway. The last intersection in Dallas is the shared intersection with Butler Industrial Drive and Cadillac Parkway. Just before the intersection with Paris Road, US&nbsp;278/SR&nbsp;6/SR&nbsp;120 enters [[Hiram, Georgia|Hiram]]. As the highway passes by the Wellstar Paulding Hospital complex, the concurrency with SR&nbsp;120 ends at the intersection with [[Georgia State Route 360|SR&nbsp;360]], where SR&nbsp;120 turns north. The road continues to the east but curves to the southeast as it approaches the next major intersection, which is the east end of [[Georgia State Route 6 Business (Hiram)|SR&nbsp;6 Bus]]. Curving east-southeast it travels along a long line of commercial zoning where it intersects [[Georgia State Route 92|SR&nbsp;92]]. After three other signalized intersections, two of which are driveways to shopping centers, the road intersects Greenfield and Metromont Roads, where Jimmy Lee Smith Parkway becomes Wendy Bagwell Parkway. After the intersection with Isley Stamper Road, US&nbsp;278/SR&nbsp;6 crosses the Paulding–[[Cobb County, Georgia|Cobb]] county line and enters [[Powder Springs, Georgia|Powder Springs]], where the name of the road is now "C.H. James Parkway." Commercial development is reduced, but not eliminated. A former segment of the road branches off to the southeast just before the intersection with Elliot Road and Powder Springs–Dallas Road. One last intersection with Florence Road can be found before US&nbsp;278/SR&nbsp;6 makes a sharp curve to the south. From there, the road approaches a pedestrian bridge under the Silver Comet Trail, which is the route's final encounter with the trail, and then approaches the intersection with Richard D. Sailors Parkway, the former [[Georgia State Route 176|SR&nbsp;176]]/[[Georgia State Route 6 Business (Powder Springs)|SR&nbsp;6 Bus]]. From there, it climbs a bridge over Powder Springs–Dallas Road and a parallel former [[Southern Railway (U.S.)|Southern Railway]] line now owned by [[Norfolk Southern Railway]]. Curving back to the southeast after the intersection with Hill Road Southwest, the highway travels through a western portion of [[Austell, Georgia|Austell]], where it passes by a major Norfolk Southern Railway yard. Access to that yard is available at the intersection with [[Georgia State Route 6 Spur (Austell)|SR&nbsp;6 Spur]]. One last bridge over a railroad line south of Humphries Hill Road is crossed as C.H. James Parkway becomes Thornton Road. After the intersection with a dead end street named Center Street, US&nbsp;278/SR&nbsp;6 finally enters [[Lithia Springs, Georgia|Lithia Springs]] and curves to the southeast.

=== Lithia Springs to Avondale Estates ===
In [[Lithia Springs, Georgia|Lithia Springs]], SR&nbsp;6 continues southeast towards [[College Park, Georgia|College Park]], while US&nbsp;278 turns left onto US&nbsp;78/[[Georgia State Route 5|SR&nbsp;5]]/[[Georgia State Route 8|SR&nbsp;8]], and returns to Austell. Within "downtown" Austell, US&nbsp;78/US&nbsp;278/SR&nbsp;5/SR&nbsp;8 becomes Veterans Memorial Highway, makes a sharp right turn and runs along the south side of a railroad line. East of a bridge over Sweetwater Creek, SR&nbsp;5 splits from US&nbsp;78/US&nbsp;278/SR&nbsp;8 at an interchange with Markham Road and heads slightly northeast through the western parts of [[Smyrna, Georgia|Smyrna]] to just west of [[Dobbins Air Reserve Base]]. US&nbsp;78/US&nbsp;278/SR&nbsp;8 curves southeast of the tracks, but meets up with them again as it enters [[Mableton, Georgia|Mableton]], near Church Street Southwest and Old Floyd Road, only to move away from the tracks again where the routes also encounter the northern terminus of [[Georgia State Route 139|SR&nbsp;139]] which continues into Floyd Road Southwest. Veterans Memorial Highway curves more towards the southeast until just before passing by Lindley Middle School, where it briefly leads back towards the east, only to curve southeast again in the vicinity of Mount Harmony Memorial Gardens.

Veterans Memorial Highway ends at the bridge over the [[Chattahoochee River]] and becomes Donald Lee Hollowell Parkway Northwest as it enters [[Atlanta]]. The first site within the city is the industrial complex containing the Atlanta Public Safety Annex across from the site of the abandoned [[Bankhead Courts]] housing project and park. Across from an industrial park, it encounters the northern terminus of [[Georgia State Route 70|SR&nbsp;70]] and then approaches the first interchange with [[Interstate 285 (Georgia)|I-285]] at exit 12. Continuing southeast, it travels along the southern edge of [[Brookview Heights, Atlanta|Brookview Heights]] and the northern edge of [[Collier Heights, Atlanta|Collier Heights]] until it reaches [[Georgia State Route 280|SR&nbsp;280]]. East of there, it travels through northern [[Center Hill, Atlanta|Center Hill]] and then into [[Grove Park, Atlanta|Grove Park]]. The highway intersects Hollywood Drive Northwest, and makes a sharp southeast curve at the same trajectory. It starts to move more towards the east before reaching the [[Bankhead, Atlanta|Bankhead]] neighborhood then runs under the [[Bankhead (MARTA station)]] along the [[Green Line (MARTA)|MARTA Green Line]]. After an entrance to that station, the road becomes a divided highway as it travels along the northern edge of [[Maddox Park]], then passes under another railroad bridge containing pylons for a second track. Almost instantly the divider ends before the intersection with Marietta Boulevard Northwest, then climbs an embankment to a bridge over an abandoned railroad line. From there, the highway travels straight east and after the intersection with Joseph E. Lowery Boulevard, enters the [[English Avenue and Vine City|English Avenue neighborhood]] where it travels over another bridge over an abandoned railroad line. Donald Lee Hollowell Parkway Northwest ends at [[U.S. Route 19 in Georgia|US&nbsp;19]]/[[U.S. Route 41 in Georgia|US&nbsp;41]] in front of [[Georgia Tech]], and US&nbsp;78/US&nbsp;278/SR&nbsp;8 turns southeast along US&nbsp;19/US&nbsp;41 (Northside Drive Northwest) to the southeast. At the end of the US&nbsp;19/US&nbsp;41 concurrency, the highway is joined by [[U.S. Route 29 in Georgia|US&nbsp;29]] and all three US highways travel along North Avenue Northeast. Tunneling under some railroad lines, including some abandoned ones, US&nbsp;29/US&nbsp;78/US&nbsp;278/SR&nbsp;8 travels between Georgia Tech territory and [[Coca-Cola]] owned property. After traveling along the south side of [[Bobby Dodd Stadium]], it encounters an interchange with [[Interstate 75 in Georgia|I-75]]/[[Interstate 85 in Georgia|I-85]] ([[Downtown Connector]]), at exit 249D. Two blocks later, it passes by [[North Avenue (MARTA station)]], where North Avenue Northwest becomes North Avenue Northeast.

For one block between Juniper Street and Piedmont Avenue, US&nbsp;29/US&nbsp;78/US&nbsp;278/SR&nbsp;8 only travels eastbound along North Avenue Northeast. These two streets are [[one-way pair]]s along that block where the eastbound highways travel along that street, then turn north onto Piedmont Avenue and then east again onto [[Ponce de Leon Avenue]], while the westbound highways travel from Piedmont to Juniper for one block along Ponce de Leon Avenue, then turn south onto Juniper Street and west again onto North Avenue Northeast. The southeast corner of Piedmont and Ponce de Leon includes the [[Savannah College of Art and Design]]'s [[Edward C. Peters House|Ivy Hall Writing Center]]. US&nbsp;29/US&nbsp;78/US&nbsp;278/SR&nbsp;8 continues to wind through [[Midtown Historic District (Atlanta)|Historic Midtown]] and the [[Old Fourth Ward]], where it travels along the northern edge of an [[A.I.D.S.]] hospice,<ref>[http://livingroomatl.org/ Living Room; Atlanta]</ref> then the site of the former [[Ponce de Leon Park]] (now occupied by a shopping center) and [[Ponce City Market]] next to the bridge under the [[Atlanta Beltline]] Rail Trail. Traveling between the [[Poncey-Highland]] and [[Virginia-Highland]] neighborhoods, it approaches the western leg of the [[Freedom Parkway]] (a formerly proposed extension of [[Georgia State Route 400|SR&nbsp;400]]), where the concurrency with [[Georgia State Route 10|SR&nbsp;10]] begins. The five highways pass the [[Briarcliff Plaza]] shopping center and intersect North [[Highland Avenue (Atlanta)|Highland Avenue]] then travels along the southern edge of Atkins Park, where it encounters an intersection with [[U.S. Route 23 in Georgia|US&nbsp;23]]/[[Georgia State Route|SR&nbsp;42]] (Briarcliff Road Northeast / [[Moreland Avenue]] Northeast), and US&nbsp;23 joins the concurrency as all four US routes and two state routes cross the [[DeKalb County, Georgia|DeKalb County]] line.

South Ponce de Leon Avenue immediately splits off to the southeast, but US&nbsp;23/US&nbsp;29/US&nbsp;78/US&nbsp;278/SR&nbsp;8/SR&nbsp;10 only travels along the main Ponce de Leon Avenue along the northern edges of Springdale Park, Virgilee Park, and Brightwood Park, while South Ponce de Leon travels along the south side of these parks. This pattern ends at Lullwater and Fairview Roads, but is repeated again shortly afterwards at Shady Side Park and Dellwood Park, where the routes enter [[Druid Hills, Georgia|Druid Hills]]. On the opposite side, a North Ponce de Leon Avenue runs along the northern edge of Deepdene Park while US&nbsp;23/US&nbsp;29/US&nbsp;78/SR&nbsp;8 branches off to the northeast traveling along the south side of that park, awaiting the reunification of North Ponce de Leon Avenue with its parent street.

US&nbsp;278/SR&nbsp;10 branches off to the southeast onto East Lake Road Northeast, and the first notable feature is the St. Elias Antiochian Orthodox Church, across from a triangle with US&nbsp;23/US&nbsp;29/US&nbsp;78/SR&nbsp;8, which also has a [[Jefferson Davis Highway]] marker. East Lake Road Northeast travels southeast as a two-lane road with a continuous center-left turn lane that is momentarily suspended by a divider at a railroad crossing as it enters [[East Lake, Georgia]]. The road curves south and has an intersection with a connecting road to West Howard Avenue. That road is one of two that travel along the [[MARTA Blue Line]]. US&nbsp;278/SR&nbsp;10 travels under West Howard Avenue, then the MARTA Blue Line as well as a parallel CSX freight line and College Avenue Northeast, and then turns right at a connecting road to the aforementioned road at [[East Lake (MARTA station)]]. From there, the highway turns northeast onto College Avenue and follows the freight line. Across from a local street named Cambridge Avenue, the Blue Line leaves the right-of-way for the freight line as both enter [[Decatur, Georgia|Decatur]]. In the meantime, US&nbsp;278/SR&nbsp;10 has a short concurrency with [[Georgia State Route 155|SR&nbsp;155]] between South Candler Street and Commerce Drive. The Blue Line returns across from the freight line along US&nbsp;278/SR&nbsp;10, and after traveling under a pedestrian bridge for [[Avondale (MARTA station)]], the road curves away from both lines to the east. East of the Twin Oaks shopping center, the name of US&nbsp;278/SR&nbsp;10 changes from East College Avenue to North Avondale Road as it enters [[Avondale Estates, Georgia|Avondale Estates]], while a local street named South Avondale Road branches off to run parallel to it. The road curves again this time to the southeast at Clarendon Avenue.

===State Route&nbsp;12 concurrency===

[[File:Jefferson Davis Highway marker, Crawfordsville, GA, US.jpg|right|thumb|100px|Jefferson Davis Highway marker in US 278 in Crawfordsville]]
SR&nbsp;10 leaves US&nbsp;278 as it turns northeast onto Mountain Road, and SR&nbsp;12 begins, replacing it as the route's concurrent state highway. SR&nbsp;12 starts on the eastern edge Avondale Estates, continuing the southeast trajectory previously used by SR&nbsp;10. Along the way, it intersects a local street named Kensington Road providing access to [[Kensington (MARTA station)]]. The road briefly turns straight south after [[Georgia State Route 154|SR&nbsp;154]], but then turns southeast again crossing I-285 for the second time at exit 43. US&nbsp;278/SR&nbsp;12 continues through [[Lithonia, Georgia|Lithonia]], where it merges with and is concurrent with [[Georgia State Route 124|SR&nbsp;124]] until it reaches its southern terminus at [[Interstate 20 in Georgia|I-20]] at exit 75. From there, the three highways are concurrent through [[Conyers, Georgia|Conyers]] and [[Rockdale County, Georgia|Rockdale County]] to [[Covington, Georgia|Covington]] in [[Newton County, Georgia|Newton County]]. In Covington, US&nbsp;278/SR&nbsp;12 splits from I-20 at exit 90 and parallels the interstate on its southern side in an easterly direction to south of [[Social Circle, Georgia|Social Circle]], where the two highways cross I-20 at exit 101 and continue to parallel the interstate, now on its northern side.

The highway continues into [[Morgan County, Georgia|Morgan County]] and travels through [[Rutledge, Georgia|Rutledge]] and then [[Madison, Georgia|Madison]] where it has a concurrency with [[Georgia State Route 83|SR&nbsp;83]]. Shortly after this, it has a [[Three-way junction|wye intersection]] with [[Georgia State Route 24 Spur (Madison)|SR&nbsp;24 Spur]], which also serves as part of [[U.S. Route 278 Truck (Madison, Georgia)|US&nbsp;278 Truck]]/[[Georgia State Route 12 Truck (Madison)|SR&nbsp;12 Truck]]. Curving northwest, it joins another concurrency with [[U.S. Route 129 in Georgia|US&nbsp;129]]/[[U.S. Route 441 in Georgia|US&nbsp;441]]/[[Georgia State Route 24|SR&nbsp;24]]. Within downtown Madison, the concurrency with SR&nbsp;83 ends when that highway turns north onto West Washington Street. The concurrency with US&nbsp;129/US&nbsp;441/SR&nbsp;24 ends across from the northern terminus of [[U.S. Route 129 Bypass (Madison, Georgia)|US&nbsp;129 Byp.]]/[[U.S. Route 441 Bypass (Madison, Georgia)|US&nbsp;441 Byp.]]/US&nbsp;278 Truck/SR&nbsp;12 Truck/[[Georgia State Route 24 Bypass|SR&nbsp;24 Byp.]] (Madison Bypass).

Crossing a bridge over the [[Apalachee River (Georgia)|Apalachee]] into [[Greene County, Georgia|Greene County]],<ref>[https://uglybridges.com/1100352 US 278, SR 12 over Apalachee River (Ugly Bridges)]</ref> the highway travels through part of the [[Oconee National Forest]] before heading through [[Greensboro, Georgia|Greensboro]] where a concurrency with [[Georgia State Route 15|SR&nbsp;15]] begins at North Laurel Street and another one with [[Georgia State Route 44|SR&nbsp;44]] begins at South Main Street. The SR&nbsp;15 concurrency ends at Siloam Road, but the one with SR&nbsp;44 continues along US&nbsp;278/SR&nbsp;12 into [[Union Point, Georgia|Union Point]], where SR&nbsp;44 turns north onto [[Georgia State Route 77|SR&nbsp;77]], and US&nbsp;278/SR&nbsp;12 turns southeast onto another concurrency with SR&nbsp;77 within the city. Continuing southeast into [[Taliaferro County, Georgia|Taliaferro County]], the highway passes through [[Crawfordville, Georgia|Crawfordville]] where it intersects [[Georgia State Route 22|SR&nbsp;22]].  From Crawfordville, the highway heads southeast, crosses into [[Warren County, Georgia|Warren County]], and crosses I-20 at exit 154 to its southern side once again south of [[Sharon, Georgia|Sharon]]. US&nbsp;278/SR&nbsp;12 continues south into [[Warrenton, Georgia|Warrenton]], turns straight east at an intersection with [[U.S. Route 278 Bypass (Warrenton, Georgia)|US&nbsp;278 Byp.]]/[[Georgia State Route 12 Bypass|SR&nbsp;12 Byp.]]<!--also signed as US&nbsp;278 Truck/SR&nbsp;12 Truck--> traveling south of the city, then serves as the eastern terminus of [[Georgia State Route 16|SR&nbsp;16]]. The intersection with [[Georgia State Route 80|SR&nbsp;80]] also serves as the east end of US&nbsp;278 Byp./SR&nbsp;12 Byp., then the highway travels northeast into [[McDuffie County, Georgia|McDuffie County]]. The intersection with Wire Road seems unimportant other than serving as a de facto connecting route with [[Georgia State Route 17|SR&nbsp;17]], which it will encounter in downtown [[Thomson, Georgia|Thomson]]. Beyond SR&nbsp;17 the highway travels east and then southeast as SR&nbsp;12 ends at another concurrency (US&nbsp;78/SR&nbsp;10/[[Georgia State Route 17 Bypass (Thomson)|SR&nbsp;17 Byp]]).

===US&nbsp;78 eastern concurrency===

Though SR&nbsp;12 ends at US&nbsp;78/SR&nbsp;10, US&nbsp;278 returns to a second concurrency with US&nbsp;78/SR&nbsp;10 and all three highways travel to the southeast as '''Augusta Highway'''. SR&nbsp;17 Byp. travels to the south-southwest, as well. The three highways stairstep their way to the southeast, crossing over Sweetwater Creek and traveling near [[Boneville, Georgia|Boneville]]. Southwest of Boneville, they cross over ponds and streams named for the community. Just before the intersection with Wire Road and Ellington Airline Road, they curve to the east-northeast. Just to the west of Old Augusta Road, US&nbsp;78/US&nbsp;278/SR&nbsp;10 curve to the east-southeast. They curve to the southeast and enter [[Dearing, Georgia|Dearing]]. In town, they curve to the east and intersect School Drive, which leads to [[Augusta Technical College]]'s Adult Education Center and Dearing Elementary School. The concurrency curves to the northeast and then back to the east-southeast, before they cross over Boggy Gut Creek and enter [[Columbia County, Georgia|Columbia County]].<ref name="Google"/>

Approximately {{convert|600|ft|m}} after entering the county, US&nbsp;78/US&nbsp;278/SR&nbsp;10 enter the western city limits of [[Harlem, Georgia|Harlem]]. Just to the southeast of West Boundary Street, they travel about two and a half blocks south of Harlem Middle School. In the main part of town, they intersect [[U.S. Route 221 in Georgia|US&nbsp;221]]/[[Georgia State Route 47|SR&nbsp;47]] (Louisville Street). At the southeastern edge of the city limits, the roadway becomes known as '''[[Gordon Highway]]''', which is a major [[urban area|urban corridor]] farther to the east. The highways travel through [[Campania, Georgia|Campania]] and [[Berzelia, Georgia|Berzelia]]. A few thousand feet later, they curve to the northeast, crossing into [[Richmond County, Georgia|Richmond County]] (and the city limits of [[Augusta, Georgia|Augusta]]), and begin paralleling the northern edge of [[Fort Eisenhower]].<ref name="Google"/>

US&nbsp;78/US&nbsp;278/SR&nbsp;10 serve as the access point for Gordon Park Speedway and [[Augusta State Medical Prison]]. A short distance later is Fort Eisenhower's Gate 3, a [[commercial vehicle]] gate for the [[Army base]] and Gate 2, a variable-hour gate. At the intersection for Gate 2, the highway also intersects the eastern terminus of [[Georgia State Route 223|SR&nbsp;223]] (East Robinson Avenue). Approximately {{convert|3.4|mi|km}} later is an intersection with the southern terminus of [[Georgia State Route 383|SR&nbsp;383]] (Jimmie Dyess Parkway) and the northern terminus of an [[access road]] to Fort Eisenhower's Gate 1, the 24-hour main gate for the base. About halfway between here and the interchange with [[Interstate 520 in Georgia|I-520]] ([[Bobby Jones Expressway]]), the three highways leave the edge of Fort Eisenhower and begin to transition into an urban corridor. After the interstate, the roadway enters the main part of Augusta, passing south of [[Aquinas High School (Augusta, Georgia)|Aquinas High School]], and curves to the south-southeast, past the location of the now-closed [[Regency Mall (Augusta, Georgia)|Regency Mall]]. Immediately after a slight curve to the east is an intersection with [[U.S. Route 1 in Georgia|US&nbsp;1]]/[[Georgia State Route 4|SR&nbsp;4]] (Deans Bridge Road). US&nbsp;1 joins the concurrency, while SR&nbsp;4 continues to the northeast into downtown. The four-highway concurrency curves slightly to the east-southeast to an interchange with [[U.S. Route 25 in Georgia|US&nbsp;25]]/[[Georgia State Route 121|SR&nbsp;121]] (Peach Orchard Road), which both join the concurrency. The six highways travel to the east-northeast and intersect the northern terminus of former [[Georgia State Route 56 Spur (Richmond County)|SR&nbsp;56 Spur]] ([[Doug Barnard Parkway]]) and the southern terminus of Molly Pond Road. The highways curve to the north-northeast and intersect [[Transportation in Augusta, Georgia#Laney Walker Boulevard|Laney Walker Boulevard]], thus effectively entering downtown. They pass just to the northwest of [[Magnolia Cemetery (Augusta, Georgia)|Magnolia Cemetery]], Cedar Grove Cemetery, and May Park and southeast of [[James Brown Arena]]. A short distance later, they travel to the east of [[Old Medical College]] and the [[Old Government House (Augusta, Georgia)|Old Government House]], then they have an interchange with [[U.S. Route 25 Business (Augusta, Georgia)|US&nbsp;25 Bus.]]/[[Georgia State Route 28|SR&nbsp;28]] ([[Broad Street (Augusta, Georgia)|Broad Street]]). Here, US&nbsp;25 Bus. meets its southern terminus. Just after this interchange, the highways cross over the [[Savannah River]] into [[South Carolina]]. At the state line, SR&nbsp;10 ends, while US&nbsp;1/US&nbsp;25/US&nbsp;78/US&nbsp;278, travels concurrent with [[South Carolina Highway 121|SC&nbsp;121]]. The concurrency curves to the northeast toward [[North Augusta, South Carolina|North Augusta]], and ultimately to [[Hilton Head Island, South Carolina]].<ref name="Google"/>

==History==
===1920s===
SR&nbsp;12 was established at least as early as 1919 from SR&nbsp;8 in Decatur to Augusta, with a south-southwestern turn to end in [[Waynesboro, Georgia|Waynesboro]]. The Covington–Madison segment traveled through [[Social Circle, Georgia|Social Circle]]. SR&nbsp;6 was established from SR&nbsp;1 in Cedartown to SR&nbsp;8 in Austell. SR&nbsp;8 was established from SR&nbsp;6 in Austell to SR&nbsp;12 in Decatur. [[Georgia State Route 21|SR&nbsp;21]] was designated on SR&nbsp;12 in Augusta.<ref name="GDOT 1920">{{Cite GDOT map |year=1920 |access-date=May 27, 2017 }}</ref> By the end of September 1921, SR&nbsp;6 was extended westward to the Alabama state line.

US&nbsp;29 was designated on SR&nbsp;8 from Atlanta to Decatur. US&nbsp;1 was designated on US&nbsp;78/SR&nbsp;10/SR&nbsp;12 in Augusta. An unnumbered road was established on a more direct path between Covington and Madison. Two segments had a "completed hard surface": from the Cobb–Fulton county line to Avondale and a portion in the west-southwest part of Augusta.<ref name="GDOT 1921"/><ref name="GDOT 1926">{{Cite GDOT map |year=1926 |access-date=May 27, 2017 }}</ref> By October 1929, US&nbsp;19 was designated on US&nbsp;29/US&nbsp;78/SR&nbsp;8/SR&nbsp;12 from Atlanta to Decatur.
