Florida to Douglas SR 31 begins at the
Florida state line south-southeast of
Clyattville, in
Lowndes County, where the roadway continues as
State Road 145. Almost immediately, it crosses over the
Withlacoochee River. The highway curves to the northwest and back to the north and passes Oris Blackburn Memorial Park. It begins to curve to the northeast and enters Clyattville, where it meets the western terminus of
SR 376 (Clyattville–Lake Park Road). The highway continues to the northeast and has an
interchange with
Interstate 75 (I-75). Approximately later, it skirts along the southeastern edge of
Valdosta Regional Airport. At the
intersection with Madison Highway, it turns to the right and becomes known as Inner Perimeter Road, part of an eastern
bypass of most of the city. At South Patterson Street,
US 41/
SR 7 begin a
concurrency to the northeast. This intersection also marks the southern terminus of
US 41 Bus./
SR 7 Bus. The next main intersection is
SR 94 (New Statenville Highway). Then, it begins to curve to the north and enters the eastern city limits of
Valdosta. Right after a slight bend to the north-northwest is an intersection with
US 84/
US 221/
SR 38 (East Hill Avenue). At this intersection, US 221 joins the concurrency. After a curve to the northwest, the four highways intersect East Park Avenue. Here, US 221/SR 31 split off to the northeast and then leaves the city. The two highways travel through
rural areas of the county, traveling southeast of
Moody Air Force Base, and enter Lanier County. They continue to the northeast and gradually curve to the north-northeast. Along the eastern shore of Milltown Bay, they begin a northward routing and meet the western terminus of
SR 31 Conn. (Murray Boulevard). Approximately later, they enter
Lakeland. After a curve to the north-northwest, where
SR 135 (South Mill Street) joins the concurrency, they enter the main part of town, where they intersect
US 129/
SR 11/
SR 37/
SR 122 (West Main Street). Here, both concurrencies merge and head to the east-northeast. Immediately, SR 135 departs to the north-northwest on North Carter Street. At Oak Street,
SR 135 Byp. joins the concurrency. At North College Street, SR 135 Byp. leaves the concurrency to the north-northwest. This intersection also marks the eastern terminus of

Alapaha River. After that, US 221/SR 31/SR 122 depart the concurrency to the north-northeast. Just under later, SR 122 splits off, and US 221/SR 31 continue to the north-northeast, intersect
SR 168, cut across the northwestern corner of
Clinch County, and enter
Atkinson County. A little over later,
SR 64 joins the concurrency. The three highways continue to the north-northeast and intersect
US 441/
SR 89. At this intersection, SR 89 reaches its northern terminus, and US 441 joins the concurrency. In fact, US 441 is concurrent for over half of SR 31's total length. The concurrency continues into
Pearson. There, they intersect
US 82/
SR 520 (Albany Avenue). At this intersection, SR 64 turns right onto US 82/SR 520. The other three highways continue to the north-northeast through rural areas of the county. Then, they curve to the north-northwest and enter
Coffee County. Immediately, they curve to the north and cross the
Satilla River. Then, they pass Pine Forests Memorial Gardens and enter

SR 158 (Baker Highway). In the main part of town is an intersection with
SR 32. On the northern edge of town is an intersection with
SR 206 Conn. (North Connector Road). US 441/SR 31 curve to the northwest and enter
Broxton, where
SR 268 briefly joins the concurrency. After they leave town, they continue to the northwest and have a short concurrency with
SR 107, a few miles south of
Jacksonville. At the end of the concurrency,
US 319 joins the concurrency. The three highways cross over the
Ocmulgee River on the
J. H. Millhollin Memorial Bridge, into
Telfair County. Then, they curve to the north-northeast. When the concurrency enters Jacksonville, they intersect
SR 117. Just before entering
McRae, they meet the northern terminus of
SR 149 Conn. Then, they enter town and intersect
SR 132 on the southern edge of the city limits. Approximately later,
US 280/
SR 30 join the concurrency. In the central part of town is an intersection with
US 23/
US 341/
SR 27. The five highways curve to the northeast and cross over the
Little Ocmulgee River into Wheeler County. On the southeastern edge of
Little Ocmulgee State Park, US 319/US 441/SR 31 depart to the north-northwest and skirt along the eastern edge of the park. They cut across a tiny part of
Dodge County before entering
Laurens County. The concurrent highways have an intersection with
SR 46/
SR 126. Northeast of
Rentz, they have a second intersection with SR 117, which joins the concurrency. They curve to the north-northeast, pass
Oconee Fall Line Technical College, and enter
Dublin. Immediately is an interchange with
I-16 (Jim Gillis Historic Savannah Parkway) and pass the Dublin–Laurens County Recreation Center. At the southern terminus of
US 441 Byp., SR 117 departs the concurrency. At Joiner Street is the northern terminus of
SR 257. In the central part of town, at an intersection with Martin Luther King, Jr. Drive, the three highways turn to the left onto South Monroe Street. Then, they intersect
US 80/
SR 19/
SR 26 (Bellevue Avenue). At this intersection, the two concurrencies merge to the northeast. At Jefferson Street, US 441 departs to the north-northwest, concurrent with
SR 29, which joins the concurrency. Also, SR 19 leaves the concurrency The five highways cross over the
Oconee River on the
Herschel Lovett Bridge, into
East Dublin. In the city, US 319/SR 31 depart to the northeast. They travel through rural areas of the county, have a short section along the Laurens–
Johnson county line, and enter Johnson County proper. The concurrency enters
Wrightsville and curve to the east to an intersection with
SR 15/
SR 57/
SR 78 (Marcus Street). At this intersection, SR 31 reaches its northern terminus, while US 319 continues to the east, concurrent with SR 78. • The entire length of the US 441 concurrency, from just south-southwest of Pearson to Dublin ==History==
