Interstate 485 (I-485) was a proposed Interstate Highway in Atlanta, Georgia, United States, heading east and north from downtown. The 5.9 mile[1] (9.5 km) route would have begun at the Downtown Connector (I-75/I-85) and used the proposed State Route 410 east to the junction with the also-proposed State Route 400. There it would have turned north to end at I-85 near Lindbergh Drive (State Route 236). Each of these freeways would have continued beyond the limits of I-485: SR 410, the Stone Mountain Freeway, would continue east beyond the I-285 beltway, and SR 400 would both north and south outside the beltway. A short piece of I-485 (SR 410) was constructed from I-75/I-85 east to Boulevard.[2][3]
Activists in the neighborhood of Morningside, along the SR 400 portion of I-485, were the first to fight the road, and formed coalitions with other areas.[citation needed] After I-485 and parts of SR 400 and SR 410 were cancelled, a portion of the right-of-way was used to build the Freedom Parkway, now part of State Route 10. SR 400 north of I-85 has been built, as has the part south of I-285; the latter is Interstate 675. Part of SR 410 near I-285 has also been built.
