Route description edit
SR 354 begins at an intersection with SR 116 in Pine Mountain Valley. It continues northward, ascending the Pine Mountain Range. Then, it begins traveling to the north-northeast and enters F. D. Roosevelt State Park prior to meeting Georgia State Route 190 on top of the mountain ridge at a historic bridge built by the Civilian Conservation Corps.[citation needed] It begins to curve to the west and exits the park. SR 354 enters Pine Mountain, where it intersects US 27/SR 1 (Main Street). The route continues to the west until it meets its northern terminus, an intersection with SR 18 west of the town in Champion Crossroad. The route serves as a connector and access road for traffic visiting F. D. Roosevelt State Park.[1]
