Abandoned Roads

How's it going y'all? I was just wondering if anyone knew of any unused/abandoned roadways or highways in Georgia or Alabama. Hope this question is in the right place and if not tell me where I can post it.

What are you looking for? How long? You looking to snap some photos or trying to organize a race?

The longer the better. And it's mainly for photos and maybe some occasional driving around on for fun.

Pull up this location in Google Maps, the green park section east of this pin is the Foothills Parkway extension. This is a 10 mile section of parkway that was constructed in the 60's and never finished due to some very expensive bridgework. It's gated off with a park gate, but we used to throw our bikes over and ride for miles. The road surface 15 years ago was getting pretty loose. Impressive parkway that was built and never really used. Construction has been on and off again on the 'missing link' bridges on the east side, and looks to be on again. Given the economy and tourism (shortcut to Gatlinburg,) I think this will be resurfaced and opened in a few years.

Wow thanks I'll go and check that out sometime this month! Does anyone else know of any places like that?

Hey guys, bringing this post back. I'm looking for the same thing... abandoned roads or lightly used roads in north Georgia for auto photography. I checked the link on google maps that you provided and it turns out it's minutes from my office. There was no pin shown on the map, so I can't figure out where that photo was taken. Any help?

I'll PM you, because by extension it must also be minutes from my office. We should run up there sometime on lunch.

I can't remember, but I do watch your Instagram feed. I'll PM you my number.

Local news story from last October 2016 on the Foothills Pkwy Missing Link.

I've never heard of the missing link, but I've only been down here a couple years. There's so many neat places that I haven't seen. That road looks like it'll be incredible when it's completed. That's pretty exciting. Got your PM. Email sent.
