State Route 24 (SR 24) is a 221.8-mile-long (357.0 km) state highway that runs 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 route connects Statesboro with the Watkinsville, via Waynesboro, Louisville, Sandersville, Milledgeville, Eatonton, and Madison.
Parts of the route west of Sandersville are proposed to be included in the Fall Line Freeway, a divided highway that is to span the state from Columbus to Augusta.

Route description
Statesboro to Waynesboro
SR 24 begins at an intersection with US 80/SR 26 (East Northside Drive) in Statesboro, within Bulloch County. The route travels to the east-northeast on East Main Street and intersects US 301 Bypass/SR 73 Bypass (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 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) 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 Bypass/SR 121 Bypass, 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 routes 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.[1]
Waynesboro to Milledgeville
It 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 Business/US 221/SR 4 Business (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 Business/SR 4 Business 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 routes 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 the western terminus of SR 88 (Fall Line Freeway), where it turns left and takes on the Fall Line Freeway designation. SR 24 acts as a bypass of most of the northern part of town. It enters the city limits and has an intersection with SR 15 (Sparta Road). After that intersection, the route curves 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 the northern terminus of SR 68 (Tennille–Macon Road) and the southern terminus of SR 24 Spur (Yank Brown Road). After that, the highway begins curving to the northwest. There, the Fall Line Freeway designation ends, because it is planned to be built on new highway. 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 routes 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 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 Business/SR 243 (North Clark Street). At this intersection, SR 243 meets its northern terminus, while US 441 Business/SR 22/SR 24 begin a concurrency to the west. One block later, SR 22 splits off to the west-southwest on West Montgomery Street, while US 441 Business/SR 24 travel to the north-northwest. At this intersection, SR 24 begins its northern section.[1]
Milledgeville to Watkinsville
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 Business 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 Business/SR 24 Business (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 Business/SR 24 Business (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 Bypass/US 441 Bypass/SR 24 Bypass (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. Then, they pass Hill Park and reach Washington Street, where SR 83 splits off to the northwest. The concurrency passes by Madison Municipal Airport and meet the northern terminus of US 129 Bypass/US 441 Bypass/SR 24 Bypass. 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 Business/US 441 Business/SR 24 Business (Macon Highway). The concurrency has an interchange with SR 53 (Experiment Station Road). To the north-northeast, they intersect US 129 Business/US 441 Business/SR 15/SR 24 Business (Macon Highway). At this intersection, US 129 Business/US 441 Business/SR 24 Business, as well as SR 24, all reach their northern terminus. After here, US 129/US 441, now concurrent with SR 15 travel toward Athens.[1]

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, where they meet their northern terminus, an intersection with US 129/US 441/SR 24, just northwest of town. At this intersection, SR 15 turns to the right onto US 129/US 441/SR 24 north.[9]
