The Cambridge Systematics study team was tasked with recommending control points for the 14th Amendment Highway with supporting justification and rationale in a control point's technical memorandum. SAFETEA-LU specifies that the route should link Natchez, Mississippi to Augusta, Georgia, by way of Columbus and Macon, Georgia.
