State Route 80 (SR 80) is an 84.0-mile-long (135.2 km)state highway that predominantly travels in a west–east and south–north direction in the east-central part of the U.S. state ofGeorgia. It exists within portions ofWilkes,Warren,Glascock,Jefferson, andBurkecounties. It connects theWashington area with the northern part of Burke County, viaWarrenton,Wrens, andWaynesboro.
SR 80 begins at an intersection withUS 78/SR 10/SR 17, southeast ofWashington in Wilkes County. It heads south-southeast and crosses over theLittle River at themeeting point of Wilkes, Warren, and McDuffie counties. For approximately 2 miles (3.2 km), the highway runs along the Warren–McDuffie county line, then enters Warren County proper. InCedar Rock, it intersects the former western terminus ofSR 223. Almost immediately is aninterchange withInterstate 20 (I-20). Then, it heads southwest, passing throughCamak, and heads towardWarrenton. Just before entering the city limits, it intersects the northern terminus ofSR 80 Alternate (VFW Road). In town it has an intersection withUS 278/SR 12/SR 80 Alternate. This intersection also marks the eastern terminus ofUS 278 Bypass/SR 12 Bypass. US 278 Bypass/SR 12 Bypass/SR 80 begin aconcurrency around the southeast edge of town. Approximately 2,000 feet (610 m) later, SR 80 splits off to the southeast. It intersects the western terminus ofSR 17 Connector (Purvis School Road) on the Warren–Glascock county line. It passes throughrural areas of Glascock County, without any major intersections, and crosses into Jefferson County. SR 80 continues to the southeast, intersectingSR 296, before meetingSR 17. The two highways head concurrently intoWrens. At the intersection withSR 102, which heads west-northwest, SR 80 departs to the east on Stapleton Highway. About two blocks later isUS 1/US 221/SR 4/SR 88/SR 540 (Main Street). Here, SR 80/SR 88 head to the east. At Waynesboro Road, SR 80 splits off to the south-southeast. It travels through rural areas of the county and passes into Burke County. The route curves to the east and meetsSR 305. It curves to the southeast before heading east-southeast. The highway begins a concurrency withSR 24 just before enteringWaynesboro. About 1,000 feet (300 m) later,SR 56. At the intersection withUS 25/SR 121 (Liberty Street), SR 24 turns right, while SR 56/SR 80 continue through town. They meetUS 25 Bypass/SR 121 Bypass. The two highways continue to the northeast, and curve to the north-northeast, before splitting. SR 80 heads northeast and intersectsSR 23 in theunincorporated community ofShell Bluff. The highway continues to the northeast, until it meets its eastern terminus, an intersection withSR 56 Spur, northeast of Shell Bluff.[1]
The only portion of SR 80 that is part of theNational Highway System, a system of routes determined to be the most important for the nation's economy, mobility, and defense, is the brief concurrency with SR 17 in the Wrens area.[2]
