 SR 293 and SR 3 switched places in the late 1950s.In the early 1970s, SR 293 was expanded west from Cartersville to Rome, replacing SR 20 (which moved to the new four-lane US 411, which was built in the 1960s).It is expected that SR 293 will either be decommissioned south of SR 61/SR 113 in Cartersville, or rerouted east on the current SR 113 (Main Street), traveling to I-75 in place of the current SR 113, which will be rerouted to the south.
