The great convergence of highways in Atlanta

I didn't note something in the last Highway 41 end-to-end trek post, but it's kind of interesting.  Another long US highway, which acts as almost a secondary interstate highway in the Carolinas (it extends from Pensacola, Florida to Maryland west of Baltimore), meets up with the combined Highway 41 and 19 right by Spelman College.  While it's disguised as Chapel Street (and it took me a few minutes to confirm the numbers), US Highway 29 joins up with Highway 41 at that intersection. So if you want to, you can go back to the post at the end of January and look at that intersection. So in this stretch, the road is Highway 41, 19, and 29, and also a couple of Georgia route numbers, too.

But it's also interesting that I'm writing this post as the Super Bowl ends.  You'll see why.


On one side of the highway, Cleopas R. Johnson Park. On the other side, Dat Fire Jerk Chicken. Note the Jamaican flag on the side of the building.




All of a sudden, Highway 41 is passing by some new landmarks. First is Mercedes Benz stadium, home of the 2018 Major League Soccer champions Atlanta United. And where the Super Bowl was just played (also the home of the Atlanta Falcons football team).




The Georgia Dome used to be right here, just north of Mercedes Benz stadium, but it's been imploded. Instead, you can see the skyline of downtown Atlanta.




The next BIG building on the road is the Georgia World Congress Center. It's very long.



Next on the road - Georgia Tech.
