State Route 91 (SR 91) is an 85.8-mile-long (138.1 km) south-to-north

state highway in the southwest part of the U.S. state of Georgia. The highway travels from its southern terminus at the Florida state line, southwest of Donalsonville, where the roadway continues as Florida State Road 2 (SR 2), northeast through Albany to its northern terminus, an intersection with SR 32 at a point northeast of the city. It also travels through Donalsonville, Colquitt, and Newton
.

Route description

SR 91 begins at the Florida state line, where the roadway continues as

SR 520 Bus. Just before leaving Albany, the highway has an interchange with the Liberty Expressway (US 19/US 82/SR 3/SR 133/SR 520). SR 91 heads northeast until it reaches its northern terminus, at an intersection with SR 32. The roadway continues as Philema Road North.[1]

The following portions of SR 91 are part of the National Highway System, a system of routes determined to be the most important for the nation's economy, mobility, and defense:

  • The entire length of the US 27/SR 1 concurrency in Colquitt[4]
  • From the SR 62 intersection near Albany to a point located at the approximate Dougherty–Lee county line[5]

History

1930s

SR 91 was established between October 1929 and June 1930 from US 84/SR 38 in Donalsonville northeast to Colquitt and then east-northeast to SR 37 in Newton.

grading, but was not surfaced: the entire Seminole County portion and the Baker County portion of the Newton–Albany segment.[19][20] By July 1939, the entire portion of SR 91 in Donalsonville had a completed hard surface. A small portion just west of the Miller–Baker county line had completed grading, but was not surfaced. The sole portion of the extension north of Albany (northeast of US 19/SR 3) was under construction.[20][21] By October, the Baker County portion of the Newton–Albany segment had a "sand clay or top soil" surface.[21][22] By the end of the year, the Miller County portion of the Colquitt–Newton segment was under construction.[22][23]

1940s

In the first quarter of 1940, the bridge over the Chattahoochee River at the Florida state line was indicated to be a toll bridge. Two segments had completed grading, but were not surfaced: nearly the entire portion from Florida to Donalsonville and the sole portion north of Albany. Three segments were under construction: the southern terminus, the Miller County portion of the Donalsonville–Colquitt segment, and the Colquitt–Newton segment.[23][24] By October, the bridge over the Chattahoochee River was no longer indicated to be a toll bridge. The sole portion north of Albany had a completed hard surface. From the southern terminus to the southwest part of Donalsonville, SR 91 was under construction.[24][25] By the end of the year, two segments had a completed hard surface: from Colquitt to a point east of the Miller–Baker county line and the Baker County portion of the Newton–Albany segment.[25][26] By the middle of 1941, nearly the entire segment from the Florida state line to Donalsonville had a sand clay or top soil surface.[27][28] By the end of the year, the Colquitt–Newton segment had a completed hard surface.[28][29] Between the beginning of 1945 and November 1946, the entire length of SR 91 from the Florida state line to the Dougherty–Lee county line had a completed hard surface.[30][31]

1950s to 1980s

In 1952, an unnumbered road was built from the northern terminus of SR 91 northeast to SR 32 in the southeastern part of Lee County.[32][33] Between June 1955 and July 1957, SR 32's path between Leesburg and Ashburn was shifted to the northeast. This meant that the unnumbered road no longer ended at SR 32.[34][35] In 1971, SR 91 was extended north-northeast to SR 32's new path through Lee County, at a point east of Leesbsurg.[36][37] In 1973, the path of SR 91 in the Newton area was shifted southeast to travel through the city. Its former path around the northwest part of the city was redesignated as SR 702.[38][39] By March 1980, SR 702 was decommissioned, and SR 91 was reverted to its previous path around Newton.[40][41]
