U.S. Route 1 in Georgia

U.S. Route 1 (US 1) in Georgia, which is concurrent for almost its entire length with State Route 4 (SR 4), is a highway that travels south-to-north through portions of Charlton, Ware, Bacon, Appling, Toombs, Emanuel, Jefferson, and Richmond counties in the southeastern part of the U.S. state of Georgia. The route travels from its southern terminus at US 1/US 23/US 301/FL SR 15 at the St. Marys River and the Florida state line, northwest of Hilliard, FL, to its northern terminus at US 1/US 25/US 78/US 278/SR 10/SR 121 at the Savannah River and the South Carolina state line in Augusta.

Route description

The route starts at the Florida state line on the St. Marys River in eastern Charlton County, and initially runs north as a four-lane highway through Folkston, co-signed with US 23, US 301, and SR 15. In Homeland, US 301 splits off and runs in a northerly direction, while US 1 turns to the northwest, crosses into Ware County, and initially forms the county line between Ware County and Brantley County. The route continues northwest and runs west through Waycross. For the majority of its length in Charlton and Ware counties to Waycross the route is very closely paralleled by the CSX Transportation rail line from Georgia into Florida. In Waycross US 1 turns north to cross into Bacon County and Alma. In northern Bacon County, US 23 splits off to the northwest, while US 1 continues in a northeasterly direction, and crosses into Appling County.
