Georgia has over twelve hundred miles of interstate highways which connect Georgia to neighboring states and the rest of the nation, connect Georgia’s major cities, and help move workers from their homes to places of employment in the major cities. Three of the interstate highways converge in Atlanta, making it (along with Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport) the transportation hub of the southeast. Atlanta is one of only five cities in the nation to be served by three separate interstate highways. Another highway (I-285) completely encircles Atlanta.
