History

Former sections of the road have included local streets named "Old Highway 29" in various locations as well as Broad Street (GA 14 Connector) in LaGrange[4][5] and U.S. Route 29 Business between Dacula and west of Statham. Other former segments include Old West Point Road south of LaGrange, Wynne-Russell Drive in Lilburn, Old Athens Road in Lawrenceville, Sam Groves Street in Danielsville, Old Royston Road in Bluestone, and Franklin Springs Circle in Royston.

Parts of US 29 to the southwest of Atlanta has been named Roosevelt Highway, since Franklin D. Roosevelt made his final journey northward from Warm Springs along this stretch of highway. Large crowds gathered along US 29 on this day in April 1945 to pay their final respects to the deceased President. Unfortunately for those who waited along the highway they missed seeing the president's body being transported back to Washington on a train that ran on nearby tracks.

gollark: It basically uses the supercomputer created by the global network of potato os computation systems in order to launch a class-13 stealth attack against the metaverse firewalls of the server.

gollark: PotatOS already includes that feature.

gollark: It's kind of funny that gravel isn't renewable but gold is.
