State route 280 (SR 280) is a generally south-to-north state highway located in the Atlanta metropolitan area in the west-central part of the U.S. state of Georgia. It runs from Georgia 139 in western Atlanta to Interstate 75 (I-75) in Marietta. The road has the odd shape of a shepherd's hook.
Georgia 280 begins in western Atlanta at an intersection with Georgia 139 (Martin Luther King Jr. Drive), where the roadway continues as Hamilton E. Holmes Drive. The route travels north along Hamilton E. Holmes Drive meeting I-20 at an interchange or exit 52, then continues north to an intersection with U.S. 78/U.S. 278/Georgia 8 (Donald Lee Hollowell Parkway). The route then continues on as James Jackson Parkway, to the Atlanta neighborhood of Riverside, where the route curves to the northwest. It then crosses the Chattahoochee River into Cobb County, where it is known as South Cobb Drive, and continues northwest until it is an interchange or exit 15 of I-285 in Smyrna, continuing through western portions of Smyrna.
