From Sandersville, take SR24 to Milledgeville. As you cross the Oconee River entering Milledgeville, SR22 will be common with SR24. You can either follow the SR22 signs through Milledgeville, Haddock, Gray, and on into Macon. Or, you can go straight through downtown Milledgeville, pass Georgia College & State University on your right, and follow the SR49 signs into Macon. SR49 becomes Shurling Drive as you enter the Macon area. You will need to turn left from SR49 (Shurling Drive) onto the Gray Highway (SR22, SR11, US129). You are now at a common point with those that chose the SR22 route through Gray. Continue on the Gray Highway (SR22, SR11, US129) for approximately 1 ½ miles to the I-16 interchange. Exit to the right (a McDonalds will be on your right). As you enter I-16, you have ½ mile to merge to your left to take the I-75 South exit. Please be careful in this ½ mile merging area. After you get on I-75 South, go approximately 2 miles on I-75 South then exit on Mercer University Drive/SR74. At the end of the I-75 ramp, turn right onto SR74/Mercer University Road and go for approximately 4 ½ to 5 miles. (Notes: You will pass the back entrance to the Macon Mall after about 2 miles, then you will pass the Log Cabin Road intersection, then you will take the right fork at the Columbus Road intersection.) After traveling on SR74/Mercer University Drive for 4 ½ to 5 miles, you will come to the I-475 interchange. Proceed straight through the interchange, but immediately after passing the interchange, turn left from SR74/Mercer University Drive onto Interstate Parkway (the access road running parallel to I-475). Proceed on Interstate Parkway for approximately ¾ mile. The MDS Athletic Fields will be on your right. Allow 1 ½ hours for travel time. |
