State Route 22 (SR 22) is a 221.1-mile-long (355.8 km)state highway that travels southwest-to-northeast in an eastern arc through portions ofMuscogee,Talbot,Taylor,Upson,Crawford,Bibb,Jones,Baldwin,Hancock,Taliaferro,Oglethorpe, andMadison counties in the western and west-central parts of the U.S. state ofGeorgia. The highway connects theAlabama state line inColumbus, across the state line fromPhenix City, Alabama, toComer, viaMacon andMilledgeville.
SR 22 originally traveled only from Columbus to Macon, and was incrementally extended to Comer in stages. It was rerouted many times in Columbus and formerly had a more northern path in the Macon area.
The part of the highway from the Alabama state line east toGeneva is part of theFall Line Freeway (SR 540), a long-distance four-lane highway that extends from Columbus toAugusta. Also, this section could be included in the proposed eastern extension ofInterstate 14 (I-14).
SR 22 begins at theAlabama state line,concurrent withUS 80 and SR 540 (Fall Line Freeway). Thelimited-access section of this highway inColumbus is known as theJ.R. Allen Parkway, named after the mayor of Columbus during its consolidation withMuscogee County. The same stretch of road is also known colloquially as the North Bypass, originally designed to bypass Columbus before urban sprawl placed the highway in the middle of both residential and commercial growth. Almost immediately into Georgia, the road has aninterchange with the northern terminus ofSR 22 Conn. (2nd Avenue). The next exit is an interchange withSR 219 (River Road). After that is Bradley Park Drive. Then the road has a fullcloverleaf interchange withInterstate 185 (I-185). The same exit lanes for I-185 are also used forUS 27/SR 1 (Veterans Parkway) and Moon Road. The final limited-access exit heading eastbound is a shared exit with Schomburg and Blackmon roads. The highway then curves to the southeast before an interchange withUS 27 Alt./SR 85 (Manchester Expressway), becoming a four-lane divided highway. In another 1.6 miles, SR 22 meets the eastern terminus ofSR 22 Spur (Macon Road). The highway then parallels the northern border ofFort Benning and travels through the community ofUpatoi, still inside the Columbus city limits. The road then crosses Baker Creek intoTalbot County, traveling just north of the community ofBox Springs and later meeting the northern terminus ofSR 355. Just before enteringGeneva,SR 41 joins the concurrency. In Geneva, SR 22 meets the western terminus ofSR 96. SR 540 departs the concurrency on SR 96 and continues east as a four-lane divided highway, while US 80 and SR 22 turn to the north on a two-lane road. InTalbotton, they intersectSR 90/SR 208 (Clark Street). At this intersection, SR 90 meets its western terminus, and SR 208 joins the concurrency very briefly and departs at Monroe Street. A few blocks later, SR 41 also leaves the concurrency to the north on Washington Avenue, while US 80/SR 22 curves east. After traveling throughrural areas of the county, the road enters the far northern part ofTaylor County. They intersectUS 19/SR 3, which join the concurrency. The four highways cross over theFlint River intoUpson County. Not long afterward, US 80/SR 22 splits off to resume an eastern course, shortly enteringCrawford County. InRoberta, they intersectUS 341/SR 7/SR 42 (Dugger Avenue). At this intersection, SR 42 joins the concurrency. The three highways pass the Crawford County Public Library and Crawford County Middle School. In nearbyKnoxville, SR 42 departs the concurrency, while US 80/SR 22 curves east-northeast into the rural eastern part of Crawford County. The highway then crossesEcheconnee Creek intoBibb County and the community ofLizella, widening to a four-lane divided highway shortly before entering the city ofMacon and taking on the name Eisenhower Parkway.
As a divided highway, US 80/SR 22 travels byMacon State College before aninterchange withI-475. The highway then enters more dense commercial developments includingMacon Mall andCentral Georgia Technical College before intersectingUS 41/SR 247 (Pio Nono Avenue) next toWestgate Mall. Just under 2,000 feet (610 m) later, US 80/SR 22 has an interchange withI-75/SR 540. Then, they pass Saints Rest Cemetery and Memorial Park, before they intersectUS 41 Bus./US 129/SR 11/SR 49 (Broadway). At this intersection, all six highways travel concurrently to the north and curve to the northeast. At Walnut Street, US 41 Bus./SR 22/SR 49 splits off to the northwest. At 2nd Street, SR 22 departs to the northeast. There is an interchange with US 129/SR 11/SR 87 that is only accessible from the westbound lanes. Immediately, the road crosses over theOcmulgee River and passes overI-16/SR 540 (Jim Gillis Historic Savannah Parkway), which has a partial interchange with SR 22, but no access to I-16/SR 540 from either direction of SR 22 or to SR 22 from I-16/SR 540 east. Just west of Coliseum Medical Center is an intersection withUS 23/US 129 Alt./SR 19 (Emery Highway). At this intersection, US 129 Alt. travels concurrently with SR 22 to the north for just over 500 feet (150 m). At the intersection with US 129/SR 11/SR 49, US 129 Alt. meets its northern terminus, and SR 22 joins that concurrency to the north-northeast. Less than 4,000 feet (1,200 m) later, SR 49 (Shurling Drive) splits off to the east.
US 129/SR 11/SR 22 crosses over Walnut Creek and then entersJones County. Just before intersectingSR 18, the concurrency passes by Brasswells Lake, Newberry Lake, and Anderson Lake. On the southwestern edge of the city limits ofGray, SR 18 joins the concurrency. The four highways enter the main part of the town. At Bill Conn Parkway, SR 18 splits off to the southeast. At Atlanta Road, SR 11 departs the concurrency to the north. One block later, they intersectSR 44. Here, US 129 heads to the north, concurrent with SR 44, while SR 22 continues to the northeast. Just outside town, it passes Lake Jonesco Golf Course. After traveling throughHaddock, the route entersBaldwin County. After enteringMilledgeville, it passes the Walter B. Williams, Jr. Park. Immediately afterward, it meets the southern terminus ofSR 212. Then, it intersectsUS 441/SR 29 (Robertson Mill Road). SR 22 passes by Youth Development Center Lake andOconee Regional Medical Center. It curves to the south-southeast and then to the east-northeast and intersectsUS 441 Bus./SR 24/SR 29 Bus. (North Columbia Street). The four highways travel concurrently to the east-northeast on West Montgomery Street. One block later, US 441 Bus. departs to the south-southeast on North Clark Street, concurrent with SR 29 Bus. SR 22/SR 24 parallel the northern edge ofGeorgia College & State University. At North Elbert Street, the concurrency turns to the right and meets the northern terminus of SR 49 (East Hancock Street) and the former northern terminus ofSR 112 (South Elbert Street). At this intersection, SR 22/SR 24 turn to the left onto East Hancock Street and leave town by crossing over theOconee River. The two highways diverge with SR 22 heading to the northeast and enteringHancock County. InSparta, it intersectsSR 15/SR 16 (Broad Street). The three highways travel north-northwest and leave town. Almost immediately, they curve to the north-northeast and split, with SR 15/SR 22 continuing straight ahead. After a curve back to the north-northwest, SR 22 splits to the northeast and travels throughPowelton. Then, the highway entersTaliaferro County. After an interchange withI-20 (Carl Sanders Highway), it entersCrawfordville, where it intersectsUS 278/SR 12 (Broad Street). It parallels the southwestern edge ofA. H. Stephens Historic Park and leaves town. It crosses over theSouth Fork Little River andNorth Fork Little River before intersecting SR 44. Then, it very gradually curves to the northwest and entersOglethorpe County. It intersectsUS 78/SR 10 southeast ofLexington. The concurrency crosses the southeasternmost corner of the city limits on Main Street. Just over 1,000 feet (300 m) later,SR 77 (Elberton Road) joins the concurrency and leaves on Union Point Road. On the northwesternmost corner of the city limits, SR 22 splits off to the northeast on Comer Road. The highway crosses over theSouth Fork Broad River intoMadison County. Almost immediately, SR 22 enters the southern city limits ofComer. At Comer Bypass, it meets its eastern terminus, an intersection withSR 72 and southern terminus ofSR 98.[1]
The following portions of SR 22 are part of theNational Highway System, a system of routes determined to be the most important for the nation's economy, mobility, and defense:
SR 22 was established at least as early as 1919 from SR 1 in Columbus to Macon. At this time, SR 11 was established from Macon toSR 20 in Gray, and SR 20 was established from SR 11 in Gray to Sparta.[2] By the end of September 1921, SR 22 was extended along the path of SR 11 from Macon to Gray. SR 20's path from Gray to Sparta was redesignated as an eastern extension of SR 22.[2][6] By October 1926, US 80 was designated on the Columbus–Macon segment, and US 129 was designated on Macon–Gray segment.[6][7] By October 1929, US 19 was designated on the portion of US 80/SR 22 southwest of Salem.[7][8] In early 1935, SR 22 was extended north-northeast to Crawfordville.[9][10] The 1938 GDOT map, the first one withinset maps, showed that US 80 entered Georgia on the14th Street Bridge. US 80 and SR 22 traveled east on 14th Street, turned right onto US 27/SR 1/SR 85/SR 103 (1st Avenue) and traveled to the south, turned left onto 11th Street and traveled to the east, curved to the northeast on Wynnton Road, and then left Columbus. US 80 and SR 22 were indicated to have entered Macon on Montpelier Avenue, turned left on College Street and traveled to the northeast, turned right onto Georgia Avenue and traveled to the east-southeast, and turned left onto US 129/SR 11, before leaving the city.[11][12] Later in 1938, SR 22 was extended north-northwest to the northern part of Taliaferro County.[12][13] In the third quarter of 1939, it was extended again, to the northwest to end at US 78/SR 10 in the southeastern part of Lexington.[14][15] At the end of 1940, SR 22 was extended northward to Comer.[16][17] Between the beginning of 1945 and November 1946, US 80/SR 22 were then shown to travel east on 14th Street in Columbus to US 27/SR 1/SR 103 (4th Avenue), turned right onto 4th Avenue and traveled to the south, turned left onto 11th Street and traveled to the east, turned right onto 8th Avenue and traveled south for one block, turned left, and resumed its former path.[18][19]
Between April 1949 and August 1950, the path of US 80/SR 22 in Columbus was changed. They traveled east on 14th Street to US 27/SR 1/SR 103 (4th Avenue), turned right onto 4th Avenue and traveled to the south, turned left onto 13th Street and traveled to the east, turned right onto 13th Avenue and traveled to the south, and curved to the southeast, before resuming the former path. At this time, US 23 was designated on part of SR 22 in Macon.[20][21] By the beginning of 1952, US 80/SR 22 were then shown to travel east on 14th Street in Columbus to US 27/SR 1/SR 103 (4th Avenue), turned right onto 4th Avenue and traveled to the south, turned left onto 11th Street and traveled to the east, turned right onto 6th Avenue and traveled to the south for one block, turned left onto 10th Street and traveled to the east, turned right onto 10th Avenue and traveled to the south for one block, and turned left onto Wynnton Road to resume former path.[21][22] Between June 1955 and July 1957, US 80/SR 22 were then shown to travel east on 14th Street to US 27/SR 1/SR 85/SR 103 (4th Avenue), turned right onto 4th Avenue and traveled to the south, turned left onto 13th Street and traveled to the east, turned right onto 13th Avenue and traveled to the south, and curved to the southeast, before resuming the former path.[23][24] By June 1960, the entire length of SR 22 was paved.[24][25] Between June 1963 and the beginning of 1966, the path of US 80 from the central part of Columbus to northeast of the city was shifted northward, off of SR 22 and onto US 27/SR 1/SR 85/SR 103 and then US 27 Alt./SR 85.[26][27] In 1967, the path of US 80 from the Alabama state line to 4th Avenue was shifted southward, off of SR 22 and ontoUS 280/SR 1 Spur and US 27/SR 1. The path of SR 22 in the Macon area was split in two, from east-southeast ofLizella to the southern part of Macon. SR 22 was projected and under construction on a southern path from US 80 to SR 49.SR 22 Conn. followed the former path on US 80 from the western point to just east of the I-475 interchange, withSR 74 following the former path, also on US 80, todowntown. SR 22 resumed its path on SR 49 and then US 41 Bus./SR 11.[28][29] The next year, this new path of SR 22 was completed from US 80 to US 41/SR 247 (Pio Nono Avenue). It was still projected from there to SR 49.[29][30] In 1971, SR 22 in the Macon area was completed to SR 49. US 80 was shifted onto the entire length of the newer path of SR 22.[31][32] In 1983, SR 22's western terminus was truncated to the US 27 Alt./US 80/SR 1/SR 85 interchange. SR 22 was proposed on a farther northern path (its current path) from the Alabama state line to this interchange. The former path from 4th Avenue to the northeast was redesignated as a southwestern extension of SR 22 Spur. The former path from the Alabama state line to 4th Avenue was redesignated as part of SR 85/SR 219. At this time, a westernbypass of Crawfordville, designated asSR 741, was proposed from SR 22 southwest of the city to SR 22 northwest of it.[33][34] In 1985, the path of SR 22 in Columbus was completed fromSR 22 Spur to I-185. The path of SR 22 in Crawfordville was shifted westward, replacing the proposed path of SR 741.[34][35] In 1987, the path of SR 22 in Columbus was completed from I-185 to a point east of the US 27/SR 1 interchange.[36][37]

State Route 22 Connector (SR 22 Conn.) is a 0.3-mile-long (0.48 km)connector route of SR 22 that exists entirely within thecity limits ofColumbus in the west central part ofMuscogee County. It is known as2nd Avenue for its entire length.
It begins at anintersection withSR 85. It travels due north, curves to the north-northeast, and meets its northern terminus, aninterchange withUS 80/SR 22/SR 540 (J.R. Allen Parkway/Fall Line Freeway).[39]
All of SR 22 Conn. is included as part of theNational Highway System, a system of roadways important to the nation's economy, defense, and mobility.[3]
In 1983, SR 22 Conn. was proposed from SR 85 north-northwest to what is now the path of US 80/SR 22.[33][34] In 1985, SR 22 Conn. was completed on its proposed path.[34][35]
The entire route is inColumbus,Muscogee County.
