US-27 bypass in LaGrange, Georgia

[CarolinaPaladin]

Are plans active for a US-27 bypass around the northeastern reaches of Lagrange, Georgia?  I-185 has ghost ramps for a possible northward extension at its northern terminus at I-85.  US-27 has a southeast road stub heading southward into Lagrange.

A new roadway connector from north of LaGrange at CR 673 south of Beech Creek eastward to I-185 and I-85 (Project Nos. 362910-, 310730-).  Right-of-way acquisition is scheduled to begin in FY 2017 and Construction in FY 2019.

Thank you for answering my inquiry.

In addition to the current plans, The US 27 corridor is being studied as part of a larger "Plan B" for Atlanta's transportation problem:

Sure enough, a Plan B – or, more accurately, the first candidate for Plan B – was unveiled recently. It has much to recommend it.
The plan comes from the free-market thinkers at the Georgia Public Policy Foundation, and it includes $3.5 billion in new projects across the state. Here are some highlights:
-The list includes completing the Fall Line Freeway from Columbus to Macon to Augusta, and enhancing U.S. 27 in the western part of the state, to create a new freight network. This, according to a previous study by McKinsey and Co., would allow between 30 percent and 60 percent of large trucks now on metro Atlanta roads – the equivalent of some 100,000 cars a day – to bypass the region entirely.

but that is the problem with upgrading US 27, I am not sure how much more it can be upgraded on the route between I-20 in Bremen and I-24 in Chattanooga.  It is mostly 4 laned already except for the tricky Summerville ridge portion and bypasses most every major town although Rome could be improved I suppose.  The route from Carrollton to Newnan will be tricky too, especially since 27 Alt is all 2 lane in between there; including the recently re-built Chattahoochee River bridge.

just dont see there being enough money in District 6 to see this completed in the next decade; especially given 75 and 20 resurfacing/repair/improvement will likely take the bulk of the money.

That Atlanta bypass corridor parallels a mothballed Norfolk Southern line.

US-27 throughout the State of Georgia is a divided highway without limited or controlled access.  I do not know if the southeastern Rome bypass will be a limited controlled highway, but it would be more efficient if it is.
