established =Arthur E. Langford Jr. Parkway (State Route 166), formerly known as the Lakewood Freeway, is a six-
mile (10 km)freeway through the northern portion of East Point and southwesternAtlanta , Georgia,USA . The highway connects the Perimeter in the west with theDowntown Connector (I-75 /I-85 ) in the east.State Route 166, or just "166" as it is known by the locals, was originally supposed to extend (as I-420) from
I-20 near Douglasville in the west to the DeKalb County seat of Decatur in the east. The eastern portion of this was fought bitterly by residents incourt , and was eventually cancelled, along with a number of other interstate highways in Atlanta. The old I-420 was planned to meet the cancelled portion of Georgia 400 near Moreland Avenue, and then end at an interchange with I-20 in Decatur. 166 is multiplexed with S.R. 154 from S.R. 70 (Fulton Industrial Boulevard/Cascade-Palmetto Highway) in the west to the U.S. 29 interchange at Lee Street/Main Street nearFort McPherson in the east.Since
2003 ,GDOT has widened 166 between Greenbriar Parkway and Perkerson Road.Exit list
