Rome and Floyd County boast an extensive network of US and State Highways that supply access to markets in all directions. US Highways 27 and 411 provide both north-south and east-west access. Georgia Highways 1, 20, 101, 140, 53 and 100 complete the network of road infrastructure.
In the works are three road improvement projects to make access even more extensive throughout the county. There is currently a bypass around the north side of Rome. The southern portion of this bypass has been approved and funded and due diligence has begun. Also, Highway 140 which connects Northeastern Floyd County to I-75 is scheduled to become a 4-lane road, greatly increasing the quality of the connection to the Interstate. Also recently approved is a connection from US-411 to I-75, which will provide direct access to I-75.
