paved. By July 1936, all of SR 50 from Tifton to Willacoochee was paved. Also, nearly all of SR 50 east of Pearson was paved. By July 1937, all of the highway that would eventually become SR 520 between Columbus and Willacoochee was paved. By October 1939, the last pieces of the highway were paved. In 1948, US 82 entered the state, running concurrent with SR 50 only as far east as Waycross. In addition, SR 50 was extended, and paved, east to Jekyll Island. After designation In 1988, SR 520 was designated along its entire current length, with SR 55 between Richland and Dawson and SR 50 from Dawson to Jekyll Island being decommissioned. In 1989, the sections of US 82 and US 84 east of Waycross were swapped, presumably to make travel less confusing for drivers. On May 5, 2006, the American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials (AASHTO) Special Committee on U.S. Route Numbering designated the portion of SR 520 east of US 17 as Interstate 50 for one day, May 7. AASHTO held their Spring 2006 meeting on Jekyll Island and approved the I-50 designation in conjunction with a vintage car ride to be held on May 7 in celebration of the 50th anniversary of the Interstate Highway System. Major intersections Related routes Cusseta business loop State Route 520 Business (SR 520 Bus.) was a business route of SR 520 that existed entirely within the city of Cusseta. It followed Broad Street through the city. The road that would become SR 520 Bus. was established in 1972 as SR 55 Business, when the road that is now SR 520 was established as part of SR 55. In 1988, the same year that SR 520 was designated in Georgia, and SR 55 was decommissioned, SR 55 Bus. was redesignated as SR 520 Bus. In 2004, SR 520 Bus. was removed from the state highway system.
