The Fall Line Freeway is a highway designed to span the width of the U.S. state of Georgia from the Alabama state line, in Columbus to Augusta, passing through several cities including Macon and Milledgeville. It is planned to become part of a proposed Interstate 14.
The highway is under construction. It will be designated State Route 540 upon completion. Contrary to its description as a "freeway," the Fall Line Freeway will be a four-lane divided highway, except a short section within Wrens and two freeway sections: following Interstate 75 from Byron to Macon and the J.R. Allen Parkway, the bypass north of Columbus. The highway is designed to assist the flow of commercial traffic, providing an easier path for freight trucks carrying goods between Columbus and Augusta avoiding Atlanta. Much of the route follows existing U.S. Route 80, SR 24, and SR 88, while other parts will be newly constructed roads, some of which, such as the portion from Milledgeville to Sandersville, are currently under construction or have not yet been built.
