Interstate 520

Hey y'all,

This is Bryant again, with another post and road video.

Interstate 520, known as the "Bobby Jones Expressway" in Augusta and the "Palmetto Parkway" in North Augusta, has been completed from exit 17 (U.S. 1/78/278) in North Augusta to its "parent" (I-20), just east of the Aiken-Richmond county line. With I-520 being completed, this gives thru traffic an alternative to I-20 through Augusta.

Additionally, I-520's America's only odd-numbered Interstate to end and begin at its "parent" route. Odd Interstate spur routes usually go off and don't come back into contact with their "parents." Example: I-85 and I-985 north of Atlanta. Even Interstates are usually loops/bypasses. Example: I-75 and I-475 near Macon, Georgia.
