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 55miles on I-75 South, until you get to the SR27 interchange (this is the next interchange on I-75 traveling South after passing through the Pinehurst/Hawkinsville Road/County Road #323 interchange). Exit from I-75 south onto the ramp, and turn right from the I-75 exit ramp onto SR27 and follow the SR27 signs into and through the Town of Vienna. Proceed on SR27 toward Americus. As you are entering the outskirts of Americus on SR27, watch for Meadow Wood Subdivision on your right. Then, approximately one mile further on SR27 you will come to Southland Road on your right (St. Andrews Presbyterian Church will be on your left). Turn right from SR27 onto Southland Road. You will see Southland Academy on your left off of Southland Road. (Note: You never actually go into Downtown Americus traveling to Southland Academy via this route). Allow 3 hours for travel time. |
