Interstate 16, Interstate highway in Georgia, United States
Interstate 16 extends 166 miles from Macon to Savannah, connecting Interstate 75 with the Port of Savannah through eleven Georgia counties.
Construction of Interstate 16 started in March 1963 in Laurens and Treutlen Counties, with the final section completed on September 22, 1978.
The highway carries the name Jim Gillis Historic Savannah Parkway, commemorating a significant figure in Georgia transportation development.
The road includes contraflow provisions that allow officials to convert all lanes to westbound traffic during hurricane evacuations from Savannah to Dublin.
Outside of a six-lane section in Macon, the entire interstate maintains four lanes throughout its route across southern Georgia.
