LocationSwainsboro
Length3.0 mi[4] (4.8 km)

State Route 57 Connector (SR 57 Conn.) was a 3.0-mile-long (4.8 km) connector route that functioned more like a bypass route. Its route was nearly completely within the city limits of Swainsboro.

It traveled to the south and west of the main part of Swainsboro, connecting what is now

SR 4 Bus./SR 57 (South Main Street) with what is now US 80/SR 26/SR 56 (West Main Street) and the SR 57 mainline (Kight Road).[4]
