It would make more sense to put a four-lane connector highway between I-55 and I-57 (from Marion thru Carbondale to Perryville).

They really should consider the East Extension as well.
Georgia would be exceptionally smart to extend I-24 From Chattanooga to Savannah.
Imagine what the huge port of Savannah could do for Augusta, Athens and Northern Atlanta/Northern Georgia.
Also an alternative route to go north around Atlanta as well as creating an outer loop for Atlanta. Massive short cuts for Chattanooga to Greensville SC traffic as well.
Starting at Chattanooga overlapping I-75 to Dalton, GA, then head East to Jasper connecting @I-575, then to Dawsonville along US129, and Gainsville conencting @ I-975, crossing I-85 and on to Athens, along US78 to join with East bound I-20 to I-520 south Augusta; US 25 south to Millen, and GA 21 East to Sylvania and into Savannah.
