Georgia State Route 30

Marion and Sumter counties SR 30 begins at an intersection with SR 41 south-southeast of Buena Vista, in the south-central part of Marion County. The highway travels southeast through rural areas of the county and enters Sumter County. In Friendship is an intersection with SR 153. About later is the northern terminus of SR 45. Then, it continues to the southeast and curves to the east-northeast, to enter Americus. In the northern part of the city, it begins a concurrency with US 19/SR 3 (North Martin Luther King Boulevard). The three highways travel south-southeast, curve to the southwest, and reach West Lamar Street. At this intersection, SR 30 departs the concurrency by turning left onto US 280/SR 27/SR 49. In the main part of the city is an intersection with SR 377 (Lee Street). After passing Oak Grove Cemetery, SR 49 departs to the north on Tripp Street. Less than later, SR 27 departs to the east on Vienna Road, while US 280/SR 30 curve to the southeast. The concurrency passes Brickyard Plantation Golf Club and enters Leslie, where SR 195 (North Bailey Avenue) joins the concurrency. They curve to the east and enter De Soto. In this city, SR 195 departs the concurrency on North Luke Street. After a slight bend to the east-northeast, US 280/SR 30 travel through Cobb and cross over Lake Blackshear into Crisp County on the Gen. Howell Cobb–Capt. John A. Cobb Memorial Bridge. • All of SR 30, from the western end of the SR 21 concurrency in Port Wentworth, to its eastern terminus ==History==

1920s and 1930s SR 30 was established at least as early as 1919 on its current path from SR 7 in Cordele to the approximate location of Daisy, then east-southeast to SR 38 in Clyde, and then southeast, east-northeast, and northeast to Savannah. At this time, part of SR 26 was established from Blitchton to Savannah. By the end of September 1921, SR 63 was established from SR 30 in Ellabell northeast to SR 26 in Blitchton. The eastern terminus of SR 38 was truncated to SR 25 in Midway. Its former path was redesignated as a northern extension of SR 25. By October 1926, the western terminus of SR 30 was extended northwest to SR 28 west of Vienna. The western terminus of SR 63 was shifted westward to Lanier. US 80 was designated on SR 26 from Blitchton to Savannah. The eastern terminus of SR 30 was truncated to US 17/SR 25 southeast of Clyde. Its former path was redesignated as a northern extension of SR 25, with US 17 designated on it. Between October 1929 and June 1930, the western terminus of SR 30 was shifted west-southwestward to Americus. The western terminus of SR 63 was shifted westward to Pembroke. Between November 1930 and January 1932, US 280 was designated on SR 30 from Americus to Pembroke, on the entire length of SR 63 from Pembroke to Blitchton, and on US 80/SR 26 from Blitchton to Savannah. In the third quarter of 1937, the paths of SR 30, from Pembroke to southeast of Clyde, and SR 63 were swapped. 1940s to 1980s In 1942, the eastern terminus of US 280 was truncated to Blitchton. The next year, the western terminus of SR 30 was extended northwest to SR 41 south of Buena Vista. Between January 1945 and November 1946, the eastern terminus of SR 30 was extended southeastward on US 80/SR 26 from Blitchton to the southern part of Effingham County, north-northwestward on SR 167 for a short distance, eastward to SR 21 north-northwest of Industrial City Gardens, south-southeastward on SR 21 for a short distance, and eastward to the Savannah National Wildlife Refuge. Between August 1950 and January 1952, SR 167 was redesignated as SR 17. Between June 1963 and January 1966, the entire length of SR 30 was hard surfaced. In 1973, SR 704 was proposed from SR 30 west-northwest of Monteith east-northeast to SR 21 north-northwest of Monteith. Between January 1979 and March 1980, the path of SR 30 in the Monteith area was shifted northward, replacing the proposed path of SR 704. ==Major intersections==

State Route 30 Connector (SR 30 Conn.) was a connector route of SR 30 that partially existed in the city limits of Pitts. Between June 1963 and January 1966, it was established on Cleveland Avenue from SR 215 in Pitts east and southeast to US 280/SR 30/SR 215 east of the city. ==See also==
