Interstate 475 (Georgia)
Encyclopedia : I : IN : INT : Interstate 475 (Georgia)
Interstate 475 (abbreviated I-475) is an interstate highway in Georgia, splitting off of Interstate 75 and bypassing Macon, Georgia. I-475 is also known as the unsigned Georgia State Route 408. I-475 measures 15.83 miles (25.48 km) in length. This is the preferred route for through traffic, as I-75 enters downtown Macon and reduces to four lanes (two in either direction), and has a 65 mph (105 km/h) speed limit.
The Bibb County Commission named the highway in honor of former Commission Chairman Larry Justice, who retired in 2000.
In the past, I-475 has been planned as a freeway east from downtown Atlanta, Georgia.
