Georgia State Route 164

State Route 164 is a state highway in the northeastern part of the U.S. state of Georgia. It is entirely within Banks [County, Georgia|Banks County].

Route description

SR 164 begins at an intersection with Georgia [State Route 51|SR 51] in Homer. It curves to the southeast, to an intersection with SR 98 before leaving town. Southeast of Homer is a brief concurrency with U.S. [Route 441 in Georgia|US 441]. The route continues to the southeast, crossing over, but not intersecting Interstate 85, before meeting its eastern terminus, an intersection with SR 59, which leads to an interchange with I-85.

History

The original route of SR 164 was commissioned as a three-mile long connector in Banks County in the 1940s and extended in the early 1960s into Franklin County east to SR 106 along Bold Springs Road. The original route joined US 441/SR 15 to SR 59, serving as a cutoff between Homer and Carnesville. While the 1960s extension was retracted back to its original eastern terminus around 1989, the highway was extended again in late 2004 westward along Old US 441 as part of a business route into Homer to join SR 51.
