of Macon, GA 358 serves as a cutoff between U.S. 80 and GA 96, traversed by an
interchange with I-16. In this, GA 358 serves an important function by creating
a more direct route between the two highways. Located in Twiggs County, 6-mile
long GA 358 is locally known as Homer Chance Highway, serving as a south by-pass
of Jeffersonville and cutting off three miles from I-16 west to GA 96 west. |

358 first appeared in 1963 or 1964 when I-16 was first proposed through the area.
Fully paved upon commissioning, the highway substantially predated the 1971 completion
of I-16 in the area despite its ultimate purpose of connecting with I-16. |
