Lanier Islands Parkway receives new signage, but not for long
Placeholder Image
Newly installed signs along Interstate 985 announcing the Lanier Islands Parkway exit have been raising questions about the status of Ga. 347’s official name. At one time, the roadway was Holiday Road, Friendship Road and Thompson Mill Road between the Lake Lanier Islands resort and Ga. 211/Old Winder Highway in Braselton. A portion from I-985 to Spout Springs Road was not supposed to get the new Lanier Islands Parkway name until January 2015.
