Route description

SR 314 begins at an intersection with SR 85 (Glynn Street N.) in Fayetteville. It travels nearly due north to an intersection with SR 279 (Evander Holyfield Highway), north of town. After passing Dickson Lake, it intersects SR 138 (Jonesboro Road), southwest of Riverdale. At this intersection, SR 314 enters Clayton County. The route continues to head nearly due north, and passes Oliver Elementary School. East of Flat Shoals Park, it crosses over Cater Creek. It passes North Clayton Middle School, and curves to the north-northwest, before curving back to the north-northeast. SR 314 passes underneath, but does not have an interchange with Interstate 285 (I-285). Immediately, it meets its northern terminus, an intersection with SR 139 (Riverdale Road) in College Park, on the southwestern edge of the Hartsfield–Jackson Atlanta International Airport.
