It currently runs for 1,074 miles (1,728\u00a0km) from Hilton Head Island, South Carolina, to Wickes, Arkansas at US\u00a071\/US\u00a059, passing through five states in the process. Landmarks along its route include the Department of Energy’s Savannah River Site in South Carolina and the Tennessee-Tombigbee Waterway in eastern Mississippi. There are several universities located along the highway including Georgia State University, the University of Mississippi, and the University of Arkansas at Monticello.

The route overlaps US\u00a0371 and later Highway 27 upon entering Nashville.Entering Hempstead County, the highway winds through rural areas to Ozan and Washington, before meeting US 278 Business (US\u00a0278B) outside Hope.[4] The highway crosses over Interstate 30 (I-30) shortly after entering the city limits and overlaps Highway 29 and Highway 32. US\u00a0278\/AR\u00a029\/AR\u00a032 intersect US 67 in east Hope. South of this junction AR\u00a029 splits and US\u00a0278\/AR\u00a032 continues southeast. Further along this route, AR\u00a032 turns southeast to Willisville and US\u00a0278 runs toward Camden.       (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});after-content-x4The route intersects Highway 53 in rural Nevada County, overlaps US\u00a0371 in Rosston, and has a junction with Highway 57 upon entering Ouachita County.[5][6] In Camden, US\u00a0278 intersects Highway 24 before it meets US 278B and US 79B prior to overlapping US 79. US\u00a0278 breaks from US\u00a079 near Harrell Field shortly before entering East Camden. US\u00a0278 continues into Calhoun County and Hampton and a junction with US 371.[7] The east edge of town brings an intersection with Highway 274 as US\u00a0278 continues to Harrell and Highway 160 before entering Bradley County. Aside from Banks, where US\u00a0278 has a junction with Highway 275, the route runs through rural country until Warren, where US\u00a0278 almost entirely bypasses the city to the south while US\u00a0278B runs downtown, including a brief overlap with US 63B. US\u00a0278 has an intersection with US\u00a063\/AR\u00a08 along the southern edge of Warren before serving as the eastern terminus for US\u00a0278B. Further east the highway intersects Highway 172, which gives access to the Warren Prairie Natural Area just east of the Drew County line.[8]The route continues to Monticello to McGehee, where it meets US\u00a065. US\u00a0278 overlaps US\u00a065 southward for 16 miles (26\u00a0km) until they separate in Lake Village. There, US\u00a065 splits off and US\u00a0278 overlaps US\u00a082 east to the Mississippi River, where US\u00a082\/US\u00a0278 crosses into Mississippi.Long-term plans are to move US 278 to the Charles W. Dean Bridge,[9] which is part of the proposed extension of I-69.Mississippi[edit]  US 49 and US 61 run with US 278 near Clarksdale, MSUS\u00a082\/US\u00a0278 goes through Greenville to Leland, where US\u00a0278 separates from US\u00a082 at US\u00a061. US\u00a0278 then joins US\u00a061 northward through Cleveland before splitting in Clarksdale. East of Clarksdale, it overlaps Mississippi Highway 6 through Batesville, Oxford, and Pontotoc before reaching Tupelo. At Tupelo, MS 6 separates from US\u00a0278 while US\u00a0278 overlaps US\u00a045 south to New Wren. From New Wren, US\u00a0278 continues east through Amory before entering Alabama.Alabama[edit]US\u00a0278 enters Alabama between Greenwood Springs, Mississippi, and Sulligent, Alabama. As in Georgia, this and all U.S routes are partnered with state routes; however, there are few instances throughout the state where the state route number is posted. From the Mississippi state line to Guin, US\u00a0278 is paired with State Route 118. From Hamilton to the Georgia state line, US\u00a0278 is paired with State Route 74.US\u00a0278 junctions with US\u00a0431 at Gadsden. The two routes overlap until they split at Attalla. US\u00a0278 overlaps US\u00a043 between Hamilton and Guin. Prior to the completion of Corridor X (Future I-22), these two routes also overlapped US\u00a078 between these two towns; eastbound US\u00a078 traveled in the same direction as westbound US\u00a0278.Georgia[edit]  In Atlanta, US\u00a0278 runs along Donald Lee Hollowell Parkway (Bankhead Highway), North Avenue, briefly along Piedmont Road and Ponce de Leon Avenue. Outside the Perimeter, US\u00a0278 runs along Covington Highway. In Lithonia, Georgia, at the intersection with Turner Hill Road (SR 124), US\u00a0278 merges with I-20 for 15 miles (24\u00a0km). It leaves I-20 at exit 90, in Covington, Georgia.US\u00a0278 is co-signed with a state route for its entire length in Georgia, as are all U.S. Highways in the state. From the Alabama line into Lithia Springs, it is co-signed with SR 6. From Lithia Springs through Atlanta, it is merged with US\u00a078\/SR 8. In Atlanta, US\u00a0278 merges further with other highways including SR 10 and US\u00a023 before splitting off at Ponce de Leon Ave. and East Lake Road near Decatur. In Avondale Estates, SR 12 is paired with US\u00a0278, all the way into Thomson. There, US\u00a0278 merges with US\u00a078\/SR 10 to the South Carolina line.South Carolina[edit]After crossing the Savannah River, US\u00a0278 bypasses North Augusta, South Carolina, en route to Beech Island and Johnson Crossroads. It then winds through a corner of the Savannah River Site. The route then continues onward through the towns of Allendale, Fairfax, Hampton, Varnville, Ridgeland, and Hardeeville where it meets I-95. US\u00a0278 shares the route between Ridgeland and Hardeeville with US\u00a017.Upon reaching Hardeeville, the route heads eastward toward the Atlantic with major new developments lining the spine of the road from Hardeeville through Sun City and Bluffton before crossing over the bridge to Hilton Head Island. US\u00a0278 ends at US\u00a0278 Business on the southern portion of Hilton Head Island, just outside Sea Pines Plantation.History[edit]In 1954, US\u00a0278 was extended from Guin, Alabama, to Augusta, Georgia. The extension was routed along US\u00a043 from Guin to Hamilton, Alabama, then over SR\u00a074 to the Georgia state line. In Georgia, US\u00a0278 was routed over SR\u00a06 to Atlanta and SR\u00a012 to Augusta.[10] A further extension from Augusta to Jacksonboro, South Carolina, in 1955 was denied by AASHO in 1955.[11]In 1989, US\u00a0278 was rerouted through Dallas, Georgia; the former route through town was redesignated US\u00a0278 Byp.[12] AASHTO approved another relocation through Rockmart, Georgia, in 1990; the former route through town became US\u00a0278 Bus.[13] A third relocation the following year in Cedartown, Georgia, was also approved.[14]Alabama rerouted a section of US\u00a0278 in Guin over a section of SR\u00a0118 in 1995. At the same time, South Carolina rerouted the highway in Ridgeland over US\u00a017 and SC\u00a088.[15]Mississippi and Arkansas extended US\u00a0278 westward in 1997 from US\u00a045 in Nettleton, Mississippi, to US\u00a071 in Wickes, Arkansas.[16] The following year, the highway was relocated on Hilton Head Island, South Carolina; the former routing because US\u00a0278 Bus.[17]Alabama relocated US\u00a0278 in Gadsden in 2000.[18] Until early 2005, US\u00a0278 was only signed in Mississippi from the Alabama state line to US\u00a045 west of Amory. US 278 in western Alabama was formerly routed through Haleyville via current SR\u00a0195 and SR\u00a0129.[citation needed] In 2014, Alabama relocated US\u00a0278 in Cullman.[19]Major intersections[edit]ArkansasUS\u00a059\u00a0\/ US\u00a071 in WickesUS\u00a070 north-northeast of Dierks.
