State Route 64 (SR 64) is a 45.9-mile-long (73.9 km) state highway that runs southwest-to-northeast through portions of Berrien, Lanier, Atkinson, and Coffee counties in the south-central part of the U.S. state of Georgia. The route connects Ray City with Wilsonville.
Route description
SR 64 begins at an intersection with US 129/SR 11/SR 37 in Ray City. It heads to the north-northeast, through rural areas of Berrien County. The road then enters Lanier County. It begins a concurrency with SR 135 just before crossing back into Berrien County. Less than 2 miles (3.2 km) after crossing the county line, they intersect SR 168. SR 64 and SR 168 run concurrent to the east. The two routes cross over the Alapaha River back into Lanier County. Less than 2 miles (3.2 km) later, SR 64 then departs from the concurrency to the northeast and goes through rural areas of the county before it enters Atkinson County. A short distance into the county, it intersects US 221/SR 31. The three routes head concurrent to the northeast. Just before entering Pearson, US 441/SR 89 intersect the concurrency, with US 441 joining it. In Pearson, the four highways intersect US 82/SR 520. SR 64 turns to the right onto US 82/SR 520. The three highways have a very brief concurrency to the east-southeast. The road splits off to the northeast and runs along the Atkinson–Coffee county line. A short distance later, it slips back into Atkinson County proper for about 2 miles (3.2 km) and then runs along the county line again. SR 64 heads to the north for a few miles before meeting its northern terminus, an intersection with SR 158 in Wilsonville.
SR 64 is not part of the National Highway System, a system of roadways important to the nation's economy, defense, and mobility.[2]
