Georgia State Route 520

State Route 520 (SR 520), also known as the South Georgia Parkway, is a 261-mile-long (420 km) state highway in the southern part of the U.S. state of Georgia. It travels from the Alabama state line at the Chattahoochee River, along the Phenix City, Alabama–Columbus, Georgia line, to Jekyll Island. It has many concurrencies along its path, including U.S. 280 from the Alabama state line to Richland; US 27 from Columbus to Cusseta; and especially US 82 from Dawson to a point southwest of Brunswick. Also, all of GA 520 is Corridor Z, a high-priority corridor to the Coastal Georgia Regional Development Center and a GRIP (Governor's Road Improvement Program) corridor, but not an Appalachian Regional Development highway, despite its green shield.
