When US 27 was upgraded and relocated in 1968 to the Rome Connector, SR 1E was truncated to end at the present-day interchange of Maple Avenue.

[8] By the end of 1921, the Lawrenceville–Loganville segment was redesignated as a southern extension of SR 13, the western terminus was extended west-southwest to what was known as "Ingleside" (now known as Avondale Estates), and the eastern terminus was shifted to the northwest to end at SR 8 west-southwest of Athens.

[8][9] By the end of 1926, the portion of SR 50 in the eastern part of Albany had a "completed hard surface".

[11][50] By the middle of 1933, the portion of the highway from south of Shiloh to Warm Springs had a "sand clay or top soil" surface.

[54][86] The next year, the segment of the highway just south-southwest of Warm Springs was shifted westward to a curve into the city.

The entire length of SR 85 from south of Shiloh to Chalybeate Springs had a completed hard surface.

In 1930, SR 86 was established from Blue Ridge northeast to the North Carolina state line west-northwest of Ivy Log.

[55][88] By mid-1933, the portion of SR 86 from northwest of Morganton to Mineral Bluff had a "sand clay or top soil" surface.

Also, the western terminus of the central segment was shifted south-southwest to connect with SR 32 at US 25/US 341/SR 27 north-northwest of Brunswick.

[87][81] This segment of highway remained virtually unchanged for over a decade, when it was given a "sand clay, top soil, or stabilized earth" surface.

[28][29] The next year, nearly the entire portion of SR 2 from just south-southeast of Trenton to just southeast of Cooper Heights had a completed hard surface.

[15][16] In 1977, all of the western segment from the Alabama state line to northwest of Sugar Valley was redesignated as part of SR 136.

[54][86] The next year, the segment of the highway just south-southwest of Warm Springs was shifted westward to a curve into the city.

[81][24] Near the end of the year, the segment form south of Shiloh to Warm Springs had completed grading, but was not surfaced.

A small portion between Guyton and Egypt had a "sand clay, top soil, or stabilized earth" surface.

[28][29] By the end of 1948, a portion of the highway from east-southeast of Barretts (at the Lowndes–Lanier county line) to west-northwest of the SR 31 intersection northwest of Naylor had completed grading, but was not surfaced.

From this point to the second crossing of the county line it had a "sand clay, top soil, or stabilized earth" surface.

[1][2] By the end of 1963, the entire remaining segment of highway had a "topsoil or gravel, unpaved" surface.

A portion of the original segment just west of Lost Mountain had a "sand clay, top soil, or stabilized earth" surface.

Two small portions between Whigham and the Grady–Mitchell county line had a "sand clay, top soil, or stabilized earth" surface.

A portion south of the SR 262 intersection was shifted eastward and had a sand clay, topsoil, or stabilized earth surface.
