State Route 19 (SR 19) is a 152-mile-long (245 km) state highway that travels southeast-to-northwest through portions of Bacon, Jeff Davis, Appling, Telfair, Wheeler, Laurens, Twiggs, Bibb, and Monroe counties in the central part of the U.S. state of Georgia. The highway travels from its southern terminus at US 1/US 23/SR 4 north of Alma to its northern terminus at US 41/SR 18 in Forsyth. It also travels through Hazlehurst, Lumber City, Dublin, and Macon.

Route description

SR 19 begins at an intersection with US 1/SR 4 north of Alma. The route travels north, concurrent with US 23, which is also concurrent with US 1/SR 4 south of here. In Hazlehurst, US 341/SR 27 join the concurrency. In Lumber City, SR 19 departs to the north, crossing the Little Ocmulgee River, and begins to parallel the Oconee River north to Dublin. In Dublin, SR 19 travels concurrent with US 80. The two highways travel west to Macon. In Macon, SR 19 leaves US 80 and travels concurrent with US 23 again, and later, US 41. The highways travel north to Forsyth, where SR 18 travels concurrent with US 41, and SR 19 meets its northern terminus.

The following segments of SR 19, that are concurrent with U.S. Highways, are the only segments that are included as part of the National Highway System, a system of roadways important to the nation's economy, defense, and mobility

  • The segment concurrent with US 23/US 341/SR 27 from Hazlehurst to Lumber City[2]
  • The segment concurrent with US 80/SR 26 from Dublin to the approximate location of an intersection with US 441 Bypass/SR 117 west of the city[2]
  • The segment from SR 57 in East Macon to just northwest of an intersection with Zebulon Road, which is just northwest of Macon[3]

History

SR 19 was established at least as early as 1919 from Glenwood to Barnesville. At this time, SR 15 was established on most of SR 19's current path south of Glenwood, but on a direct path from SR 32 in Alma.[1] By the end of September 1921, the path of SR 15 between Glenwood and Wrightsville was shifted westward, replacing the path of SR 19 between Glenwood and Dublin.[1][4] By October 1926, US 80 was designated on SR 19 from Dublin to Macon. US 41 was designated on SR 19 from Macon to Barnesville. US 341 was designated on SR 15/SR 27 from Hazlehurst to Lumber City. The path of SR 15 between Alma and Hazlehurst was rerouted. SR 15 and SR 32 traveled north-northeast from Alma and then split just north of the Bacon–Appling county line.[4][5] Between September 1938 and July 1939, the northern terminus of SR 19 was truncated to just southeast of Forsyth, with SR 18 extended onto this former segment.[6][7] At the end of 1940, US 129 was designated on the segment of SR 19 from east of Macon into the city.[8][9] Between April 1949 and August 1950, US 23 was designated on two segments of SR 19: from north of Alma to Lumber City and from east of Macon to southeast of Forsyth.[10][11] By the beginning of 1952, the entire current length of SR 19 was hard surfaced.[11][12] Between July 1957 and June 1960, the path of SR 15 from north of Alma to Dublin was shifted eastward, with SR 19 extended onto the former path.[13][14] Between June 1963 and the beginning of 1966, the path of US 41 in Macon was shifted westward. Its former path, which its northern part was concurrent with US 23 and SR 19, was redesignated as US 41 Bus.[15][16]In 1971, the path of US 23, from Macon to southeast of Forsyth, was shifted eastward, off of US 41/SR 19 and onto SR 87.[17][18]

In 1998, the Georgia state legislature passed a resolution designating a portion of SR 19 in Macon as "Duane Allman Boulevard" and a bridge thereon as the "Raymond Berry Oakley III Bridge" in honor and remembrance of Duane Allman and Berry Oakley, late founding members of The Allman Brothers Band.[19]

State Route 19 Business (SR 19 Bus.) was a business route of SR 19 that existed completely within the city limits of Hazlehurst. In 1986, the path of US 23/SR 19 in the city was shifted eastward. Its former path, including the concurrent path of US 221/SR 135, was redesignated as SR 19 Bus.[20][21] The next year, US 23 Bus. was established on the path of SR 19 Bus.[21][24] In 1995, both US 23 Bus. and SR 19 Bus. were decommissioned. The portion not concurrent with US 221/SR 135 was redesignated as SR 135.[22][23]

The entire route was in Hazlehurst, Jeff Davis County.

State Route 19 Connector (SR 19 Conn.) is a 0.2-mile-long (0.32 km) connector route that exists entirely within the city limits of Hazlehust in the north central part of Jeff Davis County, and is known as East Coffee Street for its entire length.

It begins at an intersection with US 221/SR 135 (South Tallahassee Street) in the central part of Hazlehurst. It heads northeast for two blocks and has a slight curve to the east. At that point, it meets its northern terminus, an intersection with US 23/US 341/SR 19/SR 27.[25]

SR 19 Conn. is not part of the National Highway System, a system of roadways important to the nation's economy, defense, and mobility.[28]

Between the beginning of 1995 and the beginning of 2009, SR 19 Conn. was established on its current path.[26][27]

The entire route is in Hazlehurst, Jeff Davis County.

Existed1965[15][16]–1977[29][30]

State Route 19 Spur (SR 19 Spur) was a spur route of SR 19 in the northern part of the Macon metropolitan area. The roadway that would eventually become SR 19 Spur was designated between June 1954 and June 1955 as part of SR 148 from a point northeast of Bolingbroke to SR 87 east of the community.[31][32] By the beginning of 1966, Interstate 75 (I-75) was in process of being extended through the state. It replaced SR 148 from northeast of Bolingbroke to east of the community, with this segment under construction. The remainder of SR 148 was redesignated as part of SR 19 Spur, which also connected with US 23/US 41/SR 19 in Bolingbroke. The spur route paralleled I-75 east-southeast to SR 87 northwest of Macon.[15][16] Between the beginning of 1953 and the beginning of 1970, US 23 was shifted eastward, off of US 41/SR 19 and onto SR 87.[33][34] In 1977, SR 19 Spur was decommissioned.[29][30]
