next_route=1Georgia state route 754 was a designation assigned to Canton Road in Cobb County and Cherokee County in the state of Georgia when S.R. 5 was relocated to
I-575 in 1986. This number was assigned to Old State Route 5 to facilitate funding for the completion of a previously planned widening project along the two and three lane portions of route between the Canton Road Connector (S.R. 5 Spur) and Sixes Road in Holly Springs. No portion of the route was either signed nor maintained by the Georgia DOT.The portion between S.R. 92 and Sixes Road was decommissioned in the early 1990's when the widening project was canceled, although improvements were constructed on that portion. The remainder was built from south to north and was decommissioned in phases as each portion was completed respectively in 1992, 1995 and 1998. The last portion was completed as an extension of the Georgia 92 widening project in the city of Woodstock in 2000 between the Woodstock City Limits and just north of Georgia 92. When that last section was completed, Georgia 754 was decommissioned.
Georgia 754 is unique in the amount of confusion it caused. Maps continue to show the route 20 years after it first appeared, though it only existed on paper. Part of this is because it created a logical extension of Georgia 5 Spur, which ends where the Canton Road Connector to I-75 meets the former Georgia 5 mainline. Locals today continue to call this road "Highway 5" in addition to Canton Road.
