[edit] Termini

As of 2006, the highway's eastern terminus is in Brunswick, Georgia at an intersection with Interstate 95. It is co-signed for its last half mile with U.S. Route 17. Its western terminus is in Alamogordo, New Mexico at an intersection with U.S. Route 54 and U.S. Route 70 (though some signs continue the route to Interstate 25 in Las Cruces).^[2]

The east ends of US 82 and U.S. Route 84 were swapped in 1989 after the roads around Waycross, Georgia were reconfigured.
