U.S. Highway 25 (US 25) is a
The segment of US 25 from Interstate 16 (I-16) south-southwest of Statesboro north to Millen is the western segment of the Savannah River Parkway, a four-lane divided highway that roughly parallels the Savannah River. The segment from Millen north to I-520 in Augusta is the combined segment of the parkway. This highway is being considered for inclusion as part of I-3, which is ultimately planned to stretch from Savannah to Knoxville, Tennessee.
Route description
Glynn County
US 25 begins at an
Wayne County
When the concurrent routes pass Mt. Pleasant Cemetery, they curve back to the northwest, travel through
Long County
US 25/US 84/US 301/SR 23/SR 38 continues north and travel through rural areas of the county, crossing over Forrest Pond, Back Swamp (in two places), Corker Branch, Fountain Branch, Brickyard Branch, and Jones Creek on its way to
Tattnall County
US 25/US 301/SR 23/SR 57 travel to the east of Kicklighters Pond. After an intersection with
Evans County
The concurrency passes Union Cemetery and Evans Heights Golf Club. Approximately 2,000 feet (610 m) later, it crosses over Bull Creek. After a westward jog past Richards Pond, the highways curve to a due north routing and enter
Bulloch County
Almost immediately, the three highways curve to the north-northwest, passing Ephesus Cemetery, and curve back to the north-northeast and pass by Nevils Pond and Nevils Pond Dam. They again curve to the north-northwest and have an interchange with
Jenkins County
After continuing north, US 25/SR 67 pass Paynes Chapel Cemetery and Clifton Cemetery, before they curve northeast. They intersect
Burke County
The concurrency travels west of
Richmond County
Just before passing the Pointe South Golf Club, US 25/SR 121 begin to travel along the
National Highway System
From its southern, in Brunswick,[4] to Ludowici[5] and from I-16, south-southwest of Statesboro[5] to its northern terminus, at the South Carolina state line on the northeastern edge of Augusta[6] are included as part of the National Highway System, a system of routes determined to be the most important for the nation's economy, mobility, and defense.
History
1920s
The road that would later be designated as part of US 25 was established in 1920 as an unidentified road from Brunswick to about Sterling, SR 27 from that point to Jesup, SR 38 from Jesup to Ludowici, SR 23 from Statesboro to Millen, and SR 21 from Millen to Augusta.[7] By the end of the next year, SR 23 was designated between Ludowici and Glennville, SR 26 was designated on a routing southwest of, and into, Statesboro, SR 46 was designated between Statesboro and Hopeulikit, and SR 67 was designated from Hopeulikit to a point southwest of Millen. The latter two supplanting SR 23, which was rerouted on a more westerly path.[7][8] By the end of 1926, US 341 was designated along SR 27 between Brunswick and Jesup.[8][9] By the end of 1929, US 80 had been designated along SR 46 between Statesboro and Hopeulikit.[9][1]
1930s
By 1932, US 341/SR 27 were paved in Glynn County. Also, SR 73 was designated from Clayton to an intersection with SR 26 southwest of Statesboro, approximately where I-16 is today. Farther to the north-northwest, US 25 was designated from Hopeulikit to Augusta, and US 25/SR 21 were paved from Waynesboro to Augusta.[1][2] That January, the positions of SR 26 and SR 46 were swapped.[2][10] In April, SR 23's Ludowici–Darien segment was redesignated as part of SR 99; SR 23 was rerouted along SR 38 between Jesup and Ludowici.[11][12] By May 1933, that Jesup–Ludowici segment of SR 23/SR 38 was paved.[13][14] In May, US 25/SR 21 were paved from Millen to just north of the Jenkins–Burke county line.[14][15] In July, SR 23 was paved from the Long–Tattnall county line to Glennville.[16][17] In late 1934, SR 73 was extended southward from Claxton to Glennville. A vert short stretch of SR 46 south of Statesboro was paved. US 25/SR 67 was paved from just southeast of the SR 23 intersection south-southwest of Millen and into that town.[14][18] Between June and October 1935, US 25/SR 21 was paved between the Jenkins–Burke county line and Waynesboro.[19][20] At the end of that year, nearly half of US 341/SR 27, between the Glynn–Wayne county line and Jesup, was paved.[20][21] In mid-to-late 1936, SR 46 was paved from the SR 73 intersection southwest of Statesboro into the city.[22][23] About one year later, all of US 341/SR 27 between Brunswick and Jesup were paved. Also, a short stretch of SR 23 northwest of Ludowici was paved.[24][25] In August 1938, all of SR 23 between Ludowici and Glennville was paved.[26][27] By mid-1939, US 25 was designated along US 341/SR 27 between Sterling (and perhaps Brunswick) and Jesup. It was also designated along SR 23 between Ludowici and Glennville and along SR 73 between Claxton and the intersection with SR 46, southwest of Statesboro. It is unclear whether it was designated along the stretches of roadway in between those.[27][28]
1940s
Between April and July 1941, US 25/SR 73, between the Evans–Bulloch county line and the intersection with SR 46, were paved.[29][30] In 1942, SR 73 was paved from Glennville to the Tattnall–Evans county line.[31][32] In 1943, SR 73 was paved all the way from Glennville to Claxton.[32][33] By the end of 1946, US 25 was designated along SR 23/SR 38 between Jesup and Ludowici. In Augusta, US 25 (and presumably SR 21) approached downtown on Savannah Road. It intersected US 1/US 78 (Milledgeville Road). The three highways traveled to the northeast on Twiggs Street until just past Gwinnett Street, where they curved to the north-northeast onto 7th Street. At the intersection with SR 28 (Broad Street), US 1/US 78 turned right, while US 25 turned left. At 13th Street, US 25 turned to the right and crossed into South Carolina. Also, all stretches of road from Brunswick to Augusta were paved.[34][35] By the middle of 1948, US 301 was designated along US 25/SR 23 from Ludowici to Glennville.[35][36]
1950s
By the end of 1953, US 301 was designated along SR 73 between Glennville and Claxton.
1960s
By the middle of 1960, US 25 was no longer routed on Broad and 13th streets. It was rerouted to continue following US 1/US 78 and SR 10, which had only recently joined the concurrency. In its place was the newly commissioned US 25 Bus.[41][42] Between 1960 and 1963, SR 121 was designated, concurrent with US 25, as it does today.[43][44] At least as far back as 1965, US 25/US 341/SR 27 traveled through Brunswick on Norwich Street, before being moved slightly to the west. During this time period, the eastern bypass in Augusta was named Gordon Highway. SR 121's concurrent section was designated along US 25, as it exists today. The Gordon Highway–Broad Street intersection was reconfigured into an interchange.[44][45]
1980s
In the early part of the decade, SR 21's concurrency with US 25 was truncated at Millen.[46][47] Between 1983 and 1986, US 25/US 341/SR 27 were moved to the west in Brunswick to follow Newcastle Street.[48][49]
