The Savannah River Parkway, also known as Georgia State Route 555 and Georgia State Route 565, are two roadways that parallel the Savannah River from Savannah to Augusta. The parkway proceeds southward from Augusta to Millen, where it diverges. The west branch follows U.S. 25 to Statesboro, and then southward to Interstate 16. The northern branch continues southeastward, following Georgia State Route 21, to meet Interstate 95 just outside of Savannah.
According to the Georgia Department of Transportation, the roadway is substantially complete.
The roadway is being considered for inclusion as part of Interstate 3, which ultimately is planned to run from Savannah to Knoxville.
