State Route 10 Loop (also known as Loop 10, Paul Broun Parkway or the Athens Perimeter Highway) is a beltway around Athens, Georgia, United States. Except for a single at-grade intersection, it is built to freeway standards. Much of the road is concurrent with other routes - U.S. Route 29, U.S. Route 78, U.S. Route 129, U.S. Route 441, State Route 8 and State Route 15 - that pass through the Athens area; only State Route 10 and State Route 15 Alternate pass through Downtown Athens. Inner/Outer labeling is often used to sign the loop.
In 2005, new Georgia Department of Transportation maps indicated that State Route 422 had been commissioned to cover the same route as SR 10 Loop. New exit numbers were assigned on August 2, 2004.[1]
[edit] Exit list
Exits are numbered in a counterclockwise (outer loop) direction, the opposite of AASHTO guidelines.
