Project EDS-27(123) is part of the Governor's Road Improvement Program and consists of widening, reconstruction, and partial relocation of U.S. 27/S.R. 1 in northern Troup and southern Heard Counties. The project begins on U.S. 27/S.R. 1 at S.R. 54/C.R. 1 in Troup County and extends northerly along U.S. 27/S.R. 1 into Heard County across Potato Creek. At C.R. 166/Purgason Road, the project shifts to new location, just to the west of and parallel to existing U.S. 27/S.R.1. The project continues on new location for approximately one mile before it rejoins existing U.S. 27/S.R. 1 just south of New River. After crossing New River, the project continues northerly along U.S. 27/S.R. 1 to south of C.R. 174/Pearidge Road. At that point the project continues on new location towards the east and northeast, bypassing the city of Franklin. The project continues on new location to where it approaches S.R. 34 approximately 1mile east of Franklin. The total project length is approximately 8.5 miles.
