 This meant that the former SR 108 Connector had been made part of the main route, and the entire portion north of Tate into Jasper and on into Lumkin County had been removed from the state route system.Finally, until 2007, the main route of SR 53 ran through downtown Jasper, following what is today signed as SR 53 Business.In 2006-2007, this route was realigned to follow SR 5/515 south, and is then concurrent with SR 108 running east to its northern terminus in Tate.
