State Route 260 (SR 260) is a 1.2-mile-long (1.9 km) west–east state highway located in the northern part of the U.S. state of Georgia. Its route is entirely within DeKalb County.

Route description[]

SR 260 begins at an intersection with US 23/SR 42 (Moreland Avenue SE) in Atlanta. The route makes a beeline to the east to meet its eastern terminus, an interchange with I-20 just east of Atlanta.[1]

The route is a mostly urban route, passing mostly businesses, churches, and schools. At its eastern terminus is DeKalb Memorial Park.[1]

No section of SR 260 is part of the National Highway System, a system of routes determined to be the most important for the nation's economy, mobility and defense.[4]

History[]

SR 260 was established in 1949 on a routing that had the same western terminus at US 23/SR 42, but went further to the east, to an intersection with SR 12. At that time, the entire route was paved.[2][3]

Major intersections[]

The entire route is in DeKalb County.
