State Route 24 (SR 24) is a 221.8-mile-long (357.0 km) state highway that travels south-to-north in an S-shaped curve through portions of Bulloch, Screven, Burke, Jefferson, Washington, Baldwin, Putnam, Morgan, and Oconee counties in the east-central part of the U.S. state of Georgia. The highway connects Statesboro with the Watkinsville area, via Waynesboro, Louisville, Sandersville, Milledgeville, Eatonton, and Madison.

SR 24 was originally designated from Statesboro to Millen, on a different path than it currently travels. After it was shifted onto part of its current path, it was gradually extended in both directions. It was also extended from Watkinsville to Athens and then Commerce. The paths of SR 15 and SR 24, between Athens and Commerce, were swapped and then reverted to their original paths.

The portion of the highway between Sandersville and Milledgeville is part of the Fall Line Freeway, a divided highway that spans the state from Columbus to Augusta. The Fall Line Freeway is planned to be incorporated into the proposed eastern extension of Interstate 14 (I-14), a freeway that is currently entirely within Central Texas and may be extended to Augusta.

SR 24 begins at an intersection with US 80/SR 26 (East Northside Drive) in Statesboro, within Bulloch County. The highway travels to the east-northeast on East Main Street and intersects US 301 Byp./SR 73 Byp. (Veterans Memorial Parkway), a bypass around the southern and eastern parts of the city. SR 24 continues to the east-northeast, leaves town, and crosses over the Ogeechee River into Screven County. In Oliver, it intersects SR 17 (Scarsboro Highway). Then, in Newington, it intersects SR 21. In the main part of town, it meets SR 21 Bus., the former routing of SR 21. The highway curves to the northwest and travels through rural areas of the county and has a brief concurrency with US 301/SR 73 (Burton's Ferry Highway) north-northeast of Sylvania. After traveling through Hiltonia, it enters Burke County. In Sardis, it intersects SR 23 (Charles Perry Avenue). The highway continues to the northwest toward Waynesboro. Just before entering town, it intersects US 25 Byp./SR 121 Byp., a bypass around most of the eastern part of town. Approximately 2,000 feet (610 m) later, it enters the city limits of town and intersects US 25/SR 121. The three highways travel concurrently into the main part of town. There, they intersect SR 56/SR 80 (6th Street). At this intersection, SR 24 turns left and begins the westerly part of its routing.

SR 24 follows SR 56/SR 80 to the west-southwest. Just outside the city limits, SR 56 departs to the south-southwest, and then SR 80 splits off to the northwest on George Massey Road. After that, SR 24 travels to the west-southwest and enters Vidette. There, it intersects SR 305 (Railroad Avenue). Shortly after leaving town, it enters Jefferson County. In Louisville. Just inside the city limits is an intersection with US 1/SR 4 (Jefferson Davis Highway). At East 9th Street, SR 24 turns to the right and travels to the northwest. Two blocks later, it intersects US 1 Bus./US 221/SR 4 Bus. (Peachtree Street). At this intersection, SR 24 turns to the left. The four highways travel to the southwest. Then, at East Broad Street, US 1 Bus./SR 4 Bus. splits off to the southeast, while US 221/SR 24 continue to the southwest. At Rocky Comfort Creek, they leave town. About 2,000 feet (610 m) later, SR 171 (Grange Road) joins the concurrency. The three highways cross over the Ogeechee River. Southwest of that crossing, SR 24 splits off to the west and enters Washington County. In Davisboro, it intersects SR 231 (Tree Nursery Road). After a long, gradual curve, the highway travels toward Sandersville. At Ridge Road, just east of the city limits, the road turns to the right and heads north for less than 1 mile (1.6 km). It meets SR 540 and the western terminus of SR 88 (Fall Line Freeway), where it turns left onto SR 540 (Fall Line Freeway). SR 24 and SR 540 act as a bypass of most of the northern part of the city. They enter the city limits and have an intersection with SR 15 (Sparta Road). After that intersection, the highways curve to the southwest. Just over 1 mile (1.6 km) after leaving the city limits it meets the western terminus of SR 242. Then, it has an intersection with both the northern terminus of SR 68 (Tennille–Macon Road) and the southern terminus of SR 24 Spur (Yank Brown Road). After that, they begin curving to the northwest. There, SR 540 (Fall Line Freeway) departs to the northwest. Just before leaving the county, it meets the northern terminus of SR 272. It crosses over Gumm Creek and enters Baldwin County. It travels to the northwest and intersects SR 22 (Sparta Highway). The two highways begin a concurrency to the west. Then, they cross over the Oconee River into Milledgeville. Three blocks east-northeast of Georgia College, they meet the northern terminus of SR 49 (East Hancock Street) and the former northern terminus of SR 112 (South Elbert Street). At Montgomery Street, SR 22/SR 24 turn to the west and skirt along the northern edge of Georgia College. At the northwestern corner of the college, they intersect US 441 Bus./SR 29 Bus. (North Clark Street). At this intersection, US 441 Bus./SR 22/SR 24/SR 29 Bus. begin a concurrency to the west. One block later, US 441 Bus./SR 29 Bus. splits off to the west-southwest on West Montgomery Street, while US 441 Bus./SR 24/SR 29 Bus. travel to the north-northwest. At this intersection, SR 24 begins its northern section.

Farther to the northwest, next to Hatcher Square Mall Shopping Center, the two highways intersect US 441/SR 29 (Roberson Mill Road). At this intersection, US 441 Bus. and SR 29 both meet their northern terminus, and US 441/SR 24 travel to the north-northwest. In fact, the two highways are concurrent for the rest of SR 24's length. Farther to the northwest, they cross over the Little River into Putnam County. In the southern part of Eatonton, they intersect US 129/SR 44 (Gray Road). This intersection also marks the southern terminus of US 441 Bus./SR 24 Bus. (Oak Street). US 129 joins the concurrency for the rest of SR 24's length. Northwest of there, they intersect SR 16 (Monticello Road). The concurrency curves to the northeast and meets the northern terminus of US 441 Bus./SR 24 Bus. (North Jefferson Avenue). On the northern edge of the Oconee National Forest, they meet the northern terminus of what used to be SR 300 (Union Chapel Road NW). Then, they enter Morgan County. The highways continue to the north-northwest and enter Madison. There, they have an interchange with Interstate 20 (I-20). Approximately 2,500 feet (760 m) later, they meet the southern terminus of US 129 Byp./US 441 Byp./SR 24 Byp. (Brooks Pennington Memorial Parkway). About 4,000 feet (1,200 m) later, they meet the southern terminus of SR 24 Spur (Ward Road). Then, US 278/SR 12/SR 83 (Eatonton Highway) join the concurrency next to Walton Park. The concurrency passes Hill Park and reach Washington Street, where SR 83 splits off to the northwest. The highways pass by Madison Municipal Airport and meet the northern terminus of US 129 Byp./US 441 Byp./SR 24 Byp. At this intersection, US 278/SR 12 splits off to the east, while US 129/US 441/SR 24 continue to the north. After leaving town, they pass by Youngblood Lake and cross over the Apalachee River into Oconee County. The concurrency passes by Heritage Park and travels through Bishop. They meet the eastern terminus of SR 186 just north of the city limits. Just before skirting along the western edge of Watkinsville, they meet the southern terminus of US 129 Bus./US 441 Bus./SR 24 Bus. (Macon Highway). The concurrency has an interchange with SR 53 (Experiment Station Road). To the north-northeast, they intersect US 129 Bus./US 441 Bus./SR 15/SR 24 Bus. (Macon Highway). At this intersection, US 129 Bus./US 441 Bus./SR 24 Bus., as well as SR 24, all reach their northern terminus. After here, US 129/US 441, now concurrent with SR 15 travel toward Athens.

The following portions of SR 24 are part of the National Highway System, a system of routes determined to be the most important for the nation's economy, mobility, and defense:

• The portion concurrent with US 301/SR 73 near Hiltonia
• From SR 88 in Sandersville to SR 49 in Milledgeville
• The entire length of its concurrency with US 441, from Milledgeville to north-northwest of Watkinsville

SR 24 was established at least as early as 1919 from Waynesboro to SR 12 in Madison. At this time, part of SR 15 was established from SR 45 in Watkinsville to Athens. By the end of September 1921, the path of SR 24, from Waynesboro to Louisville, was shifted northwest to travel north on SR 17 from Louisville to Wrens and then on a sole path from Wrens to Augusta. The former path of SR 24 was redesignated as SR 20. SR 24 was extended slightly to the east on SR 12 in Madison and then north-northwest to SR 15 in Watkinsville. By October 1926, US 1 was designated on SR 24 from Augusta to Louisville. US 129 was designated on SR 24 from Eatonton to Watkinsville and on SR 15 from Watkinsville to Athens. By October 1929, the path of SR 24, from Augusta to Louisville, was reverted to the Waynesboro–Louisville path, replacing SR 20. SR 24's former path, on US 1, was redesignated as part of SR 4. By June 1930, SR 24 was extended south-southeast to SR 21 in Sylvania. In April 1932, it was extended completely concurrent with SR 15 north-northeast to Athens and then on a sole path north-northwest to Commerce. Between November 1932 and May 1933, the southern terminus was truncated to SR 73 north of Sylvania, since SR 73 was extended on this former path into the city. Between November 1946 and February 1948, all of SR 24 that existed at the time was hard surfaced. By April 1949, US 441 was designated on the path of SR 24 from Milledgeville to Commerce. The southern terminus of SR 24 was extended slightly southward on a concurrency with US 301/SR 73 and then to the south-southeast and southwest to SR 21 in Newington.

In 1952, an unnumbered road was established from Oliver to Newington. Between the beginning of 1951 and the beginning of 1958, SR 24 was extended to SR 98 northwest of Commerce. Between July 1957 and June 1960, SR 24 was extended on the Oliver–Newington unnumbered road and then southwest to Statesboro. The paths of SR 15 and SR 24, between Athens and Commerce, were swapped, with SR 24 traveling concurrent with US 129 northwest to Jefferson and then on a sole path northeast to Commerce. Between June 1960 and June 1963, the paths of these two highways were swapped back to their original paths. Between June 1963 and the beginning of 1966, the northern terminus of SR 24 was truncated to its current point, north of Watkinsville. At least as early as 1985, the path of US 441 in Milledgeville was slightly shifted to the southwest, completely concurrent with SR 29 in the city. In 1988, a western bypass of Eatonton, designated as SR 826 was proposed from US 129/SR 44 in Warfield to US 129/US 441/SR 24 north of Eatonton. In 1990, a western bypass of Watkinsville, designated as a northern extension of SR 186, was proposed from US 129/US 441/SR 24 north-northeast of Bishop to US 129/US 441/SR 15 in the southern part of Athens. In 1992, US 129/US 441/SR 24 in the Eatonton area was shifted westward, replacing the path of SR 826. The former path was redesignated as US 129 Bus./US 441 Bus./SR 24 Bus. The western bypass of Watkinsville was then proposed as SR 818. Between the beginning of 1987 and the beginning of 1998, the path of US 129/US 441/SR 24 (and SR 15 north of SR 24's northern terminus) was shifted westward, replacing the proposed path of SR 818. The former path was redesignated as US 129 Bus./US 441 Bus./SR 24 Bus. Between the beginning of 1994 and the beginning of 2010, the path of SR 24 in Sandersville was shifted northward, onto SR 88. Its former path was redesignated as part of SR 242.

Length	2.7 mi (4.3 km)
Existed	1987–present

State Route 24 Spur (SR 24 Spur) is a 2.7-mile-long (4.3 km) spur route of SR 24 that exists entirely within the central part of Washington County. Its entire route is west of Sandersville, except for its northern terminus, which is on the northwestern edge of the city limits. It is known as Yank Brown Road for its entire length.

It begins at an intersection with the SR 24 mainline and SR 540 (West Church Street/Fall Line Freeway) west of Sandersville. This intersection also marks the northern terminus of SR 68 (Tennille–Macon Road). The highway travels to the north-northeast and meets its northern terminus, an intersection with Deepstep Road on the northwestern edge of Sandersville's city limits.

SR 24 Spur is not part of the National Highway System, a system of routes determined to be the most important for the nation's economy, mobility, and defense.

At least as early as 1951, Yank Brown Road was established. In 1987, it was designated as SR 24 Spur.

The entire route is in Washington County.

State Route 24 Connector
Location	Milledgeville
Existed	1971–1995

State Route 24 Connector (SR 24 Conn.) was a connector route of SR 24 that existed entirely within the city limits of Milledgeville. In 1971, it and SR 22 Conn. was established from US 441 (Wayne Street) and SR 29, which took on the Franklin Street name, east-northeast on Franklin Street to SR 112 (Elbert Street), and then north-northwest on Elbert Street to SR 22/SR 24/SR 49. Between the beginning of 1986 and the beginning of 1996, US 441/SR 29 were shifted west of the city. The former path was redesignated as US 441 Bus./SR 243. At this time, both SR 22 Conn. and SR 24 Conn. were decommissioned. The Elbert Street portion was redesignated as a northern extension of SR 112.

The entire route was in Milledgeville, Baldwin County.

State Route 24 Business
Location	Eatonton
Length	3.8 mi (6.1 km)
Existed	1992–present

State Route 24 Business (SR 24 Bus.) is a 3.8-mile-long (6.1 km) business route of SR 24 that exists entirely within the city limits of Eatonton in the central part of Putnam County.

It begins at an intersection with US 129/US 441/SR 24/SR 44 in the southern part of Eatonton. At this intersection, SR 24 Bus. travels in a northerly direction concurrent with SR 44, along with US 129 Bus./US 441 Bus., which begin at this intersection, as well. The four highways curve to the north-northwest along Oak Street and pass the Uncle Remus Golf Course. They curve to the northeast before curving again to the north-northwest. At East Sumter Street, SR 44 splits off to the northeast, concurrent with SR 16. SR 16 joins the concurrency for one block and then splits off to the southwest on West Marion Street. US 129 Bus./US 441 Bus./SR 24 Bus. continue to the north-northwest and curve to the north. Just before intersecting US 129/US 441/SR 24 in the northern part of town, the concurrency has one final curve to the northwest. At US 129/US 441/SR 24, all three highways meet their northern terminus.

SR 24 Bus. is not part of the National Highway System, a system of roadways important to the nation's economy, defense, and mobility.

The roadway that would eventually become SR 24 Bus. was established at least as early as 1919 as part of SR 24 on this path. Between September 1921 and October 1926, US 129 was designated on the path of SR 24 from Eatonton to Watkinsville. In 1930, the portion of SR 24 in the southern part of Eatonton had a "completed hard surface". By the beginning of 1932, the portion of the highway in the northern part of the city also had a completed hard surface. By April 1949, US 441 was designated on the path of SR 24 from Milledgeville to Commerce. In 1988, a western bypass of Eatonton, designated as SR 826 was proposed from US 129/SR 44 in Warfield to US 129/US 441/SR 24 north of Eatonton. In 1992, US 129/US 441/SR 24 in the Eatonton area was shifted westward, replacing the path of SR 826. The former path was redesignated as US 129 Bus./US 441 Bus./SR 24 Bus.

The entire route is in Eatonton, Putnam County.

State Route 24 Bypass
Location	Madison
Length	4.2 mi (6.8 km)
Existed	1992–present

State Route 24 Bypass (SR 24 Byp.) is a 4.2-mile-long (6.8 km) bypass route of SR 24 that exists entirely within the central part of Morgan County. Parts of the highway are inside the city limits of Madison. It is named Madison Bypass, and is entirely concurrent with US 129 Byp. and US 441 Byp., as well as Us 278 Truck and SR 12 Truck. The bypass is also signed as US 441 Truck and SR 24 Truck.

It begins at an intersection with US 129/US 441/SR 24 in the southern part of Madison. At this intersection, which is also the eastern terminus of Lions Club Road, SR 24 Byp. travels in a northeasterly direction, concurrent with US 129 Byp./US 278 Truck/US 441 Byp./US 441 Truck/SR 24 Truck. The five highways leave the city limits of Madison and then briefly re-enter it. They curve to the north-northeast and re-enter the city limits again. Then, they skirt along the western edge of Heritage Park. After that, they curve to the north-northwest and curve to the north-northeast and leave the city limits again and meet their northern terminus, an intersection with US 129/US 278/US 441/SR 12/SR 24, just north of the city.

SR 24 Byp. is not part of the National Highway System, a system of roadways important to the nation's economy, defense, and mobility.

In 1988, US 129 Byp./US 441 Byp./SR 24 Byp. was proposed from US 129/US 441/SR 24 south-southwest of the city to US 129/US 441/SR 24 and US 278/SR 12 northeast of it. In 1992, the bypass routes were completed.

The entire route is in Morgan County.

State Route 24 Spur
Location	Madison
Length	0.4 mi (640 m)
Existed	1946–present

State Route 24 Spur (SR 24 Spur) is a 0.4-mile-long (0.64 km) spur route of SR 24 that exists entirely within the central part of Madison in the central part of Morgan County. It is known as Ward Road for its entire length. It travels concurrently with US 278 Truck/SR 12 Truck for its entire length.

It begins at an intersection with US 129/US 441/SR 24 (Eatonton Road). Here, US 278 Truck/SR 12 Truck leave a concurrency with US 129/US 441/SR 24 and begin one with SR 24 Spur. The three highways travel in a northwestern curve and meets SR 24 Spur's northern terminus and US 278 Truck/SR 12 Truck's western terminus, an intersection with US 278/SR 12/SR 83.

SR 24 Spur is not part of the National Highway System, a system of roadways important to the nation's economy, defense, and mobility.

Between the beginning of 1945 and November 1946, SR 24 Spur was established on its current path.

The entire route is in Madison, Morgan County.

State Route 24 Business
Location	Watkinsville
Length	3.0 mi (4.8 km)
Existed	1997–present

State Route 24 Business (SR 24 Bus.) exists entirely within the central part of Oconee County. Most of the route is inside the city limits of Watkinsville.

It begins at an intersection with US 129/US 441/SR 24 just southwest of Watkinsville. At this intersection, SR 24 Bus. travels in a northeasterly direction on Macon Highway, concurrent with US 129 Bus./US 441 Bus., which begin at this intersection, as well. The three highways enter the city limits and parallel a Norfolk Southern Railway line for about 2 miles (3.2 km). The concurrency curves to the north and very gradually bends to the north-northwest and intersect SR 15 (Greensboro Highway), which joins the concurrency. At Experiment Station Road, they meet the eastern terminus of SR 53. The highways curve to a nearly northern routing and cross over Calls Creek. Then, they leave the city limits and curve to the northwest and intersect US 129/US 441/SR 24, where US 129 Bus./US 441 Bus./SR 24 Bus. meet their northern terminus, and SR 15 turns to the right onto US 129/US 441/SR 24 north.

SR 24 Bus. is not part of the National Highway System, a system of roadways important to the nation's economy, defense, and mobility.

The roadway that would eventually become SR 24 Bus. was established at least as early as 1919 as part of SR 15. By October 1926, US 129 was designated on SR 24 from Eatonton to Watkinsville and on SR 15 from Watkinsville to Athens. In April 1932, the portion of US 129/SR 15 in the northern part of Watkinsville had a "completed hard surface". SR 24 was extended completely concurrent with SR 15 north-northeast to Athens. In June 1933, the portion of US 129/SR 24 in the southern part of Watkinsville also had a completed hard surface. By April 1949, US 441 was designated on the path of SR 24 from Milledgeville to Commerce.

Between June 1963 and the beginning of 1966, the northern terminus of SR 24 was truncated to its current point, north of Watkinsville. In 1990, a western bypass of Watkinsville, designated as a northern extension of SR 186, was proposed from US 129/US 441/SR 24 north-northeast of Bishop to US 129/US 441/SR 15 in the southern part of Athens. In 1992, the western bypass of Watkinsville was then proposed as SR 818. Between the beginning of 1987 and the beginning of 1998, the path of US 129/US 441/SR 24 (and SR 15 north of SR 24's northern terminus) was shifted westward, replacing the proposed path of SR 818. The former path was redesignated as US 129 Bus./US 441 Bus./SR 24 Bus.

The entire route is in Oconee County.
