SR 382 SR 384

State Route 383 (SR 383) is a 7.35-mile-long (11.83 km) state highway in the east-central part of the U.S. state of Georgia. Its route runs in the area just west of Augusta, within portions of Richmond and Columbia counties.

SR 383 is known as Jimmie Dyess Parkway from its southern terminus to just south of Interstate 20 (I-20) and North Belair Road for the rest of its length. Just like nearby SR 223, SR 383 serves as an important access route leading from the local area to Fort Gordon.

Route description [edit]

Picture of an SR 383 shield after leaving Fort Gordon, just prior to the US 78/US 278/SR 10 intersection. This shield is misplaced, as SR 383 doesn't begin until that intersection.

SR 383 begins at an intersection with US 78/US 278/SR 10 (Gordon Highway) just north of Fort Gordon's Gate 1, in Richmond County. Here, following the roadway south of SR 383's southern terminus leads to Gate 1. SR 383 itself begins northward, then curves north-northwesterly. The route runs along the Martinez-Evans city line after it meets an interchange with I-20 near its midpoint. Along the Martinez-Evans city line, the route intersects SR 232 (Columbia Road). Immediately afterward, SR 383 enters Evans proper and meets its northern terminus, an intersection with SR 104 (Washington Road). Here the North Belair Road designation continues.[3]

SR 383 is not part of the National Highway System, a system of routes determined to be the most important for the nation's economy, mobility and defense.[4]

History [edit]

The road that would eventually become SR 383 was built in 1960 along the same alignment as it runs today, however, it only ran from about Wrightsboro Road to its northern terminus.[5][6] By 1988, this section was redesignated as SR 383.[1][2] By 1999, the road was extended to its current southern terminus. It is unknown if it was designated as part of SR 383 by this time.[7][8]
