Remember these? If you do, you came here from the Florida US 17 page. If not, go there next. A contractor is repairing the bridge linking the states, and put up 3dus (3-digit wide US shield) errors. These are at I-95 Exit 3 on GA 40.


The new Brunswick Bridge, soaring majestically south from the eponymous town across the eponymous river. Eponymous. E-pon-y-mous. To the right of it is the old alignment, cutting a path through the trees to where there was once a drawbridge.
Eponymous.


Take Route 17 South to Route 25... This is where Georgia's practice of making sure that every numbered road has a state route shadowing it falls apart. US 17 is GA 25 for its entire length (imagine that Georgia numbered all its roads, and then just stuck US routes on top of them - that's basically the effect here). US 25 is not GA 25 SPUR for its entire length, but it is here in Brunswick. It's actually quite rare to have a non-state route shadowed by its eponymous state route.
Eponymous. Eponymous. Eponymous.


Another GA 25 SPUR on US 17 SB, but this one's actually in Savannah. Unlike NJDOT's new policy on 5xx routes, Georgia routes can spawn as many spurs as they like. That's a state-name shield there, too.


SB through Fleming to Evelyn, courtesy Shawn Latta and submitted by Adam Prince. I do not like the shield style that fills the entire background of the shield, but I do like state-name Interstate shields (like you didn't know).


GA 404 SPUR is the shadow route for US 17 north of I-16 in Savannah.17 and GA 25 stay together along I-516, but then US 17 comes back along I-16 and GA 404 SPUR, while GA 25 continues on US 80 WB and turns east into the heart of Savannah. 404 SPUR ends at the I-16 onramp, which is also US 17 SB, and same on the other side but reversed.


This is the first sign in Georgia, and the switch to Clearview apparently switched that left BGS to a huge and ugly (but state-name) I-16 shield. It also has a decidedly non-Clearview and non-shield I-95, and one of those conditions should be remedied. Notice that this time, we have a 25 CONN instead of a SPUR, keeping the 25 SPUR company in Savannah. This view is southbound on the bridge over the Savannah River, into the city of the same name. I think there's a word for that same-name-ness. Oh well.
