system of routes determined to be the most important for the nation's economy, mobility, and defense, is from the central part of Newnan to its eastern terminus. History SR 34 was established between October 1929 and June 1930, from the Alabama state line west-southwest of Franklin, east-northeast to Newnan. Between November 1946 and February 1948, it was extended east-northeast to SR 54, at its current eastern terminus. Between August 1950 and January 1952, the entire path of SR 34 was hard surfaced. Major intersections Special routes Franklin bypass route State Route 34 Bypass (SR 34 Byp.) was a bypass of SR 34 that existed completely within the city limits of Franklin. In 1949, it was established from US 27/SR 1/SR 100 in the southeastern part of the city to SR 34 in the northeastern part. In 1983, it was decommissioned. Newnan bypass route State Route 34 Bypass (SR 34 Byp.) is a bypass route of SR 34 that exists entirely within the central part of Coweta County. Approximately half of the highway is located in the city limits of Newnan. Most of the bypass functions as a truck route for US 27 Alt./US 29/SR 14/SR 16/SR 34 It begins at an intersection with the SR 34 mainline (Franklin Road) west of Newnan. It heads north, has an interchange with Welcome Road, and curves to the east-northeast and intersects US 27 Alt./SR 16 (Temple Avenue) northwest of the city. Then, it continues to an intersection with the southern terminus of SR 70 (Roscoe Road), on the northern edge of the city. SR 34 Byp. curves to the southeast and intersects US 29/SR 14 (Jackson Street). It curves its way through the city, until it meets its eastern terminus, a second intersection with the SR 34 mainline (Bullsboro Drive), in the eastern part of the city. The entire length of SR 34 is included as part of the National Highway System, a system of routes determined to be the most important for the nation's economy, mobility, and defense. In 1984, a northern bypass of Newnan was established from US 29/SR 14 just north of the city to SR 34 just northeast of it. However, it was unnumbered. The next year, a western extension of this bypass, designated as SR 747, was proposed to have a western terminus at SR 34 west of the city. In 1986, this bypass was then proposed as
