to Decatur County, 27.0 mile GA 309 exists in two sections joined by a 4.9 mile
overlap along GA 97. The 14.7 mile south section extends from GA 97 in Bainbridge
to the Florida State Line and is locally known as Fowlstown Road. The 7.4 mile
north section extends from GA 97 to GA 262 and is known as Old Pelham Road. The
south section forms a more direct route from Bainbridge to Havana, FL and Tallahassee
beyond via Gadsden County Hwy. 159. The north section extends basically to nowhere. A
couple other significant notes on GA 309 regard its connections with other routes.
GA 97/309 both have an interchange with U.S. 27/84 along the Bainbridge Expressway
in the city. Additionally, GA 309 shares mileage with parts of U.S. 27 Business,
U.S. 84 Business, GA 1 Business and GA 38 Business in Bainbridge. |

309 became a state route in 1959. Most was paved upon commissioning, but part
north of Bainbridge was not. On the north section, pavement extended from GA 97
to Open Pond Road (C.R. 55). East of there, the road turned dirt, suggesting that
GA 309 there was part of Open Pond Road and paved prior to state takeover. However,
the section was paved the following year. Other than that, GA 309 has remain largely
unchanged since that time. |
