Route Description
Its western terminus occurs at the Alabama state line on a bridge over the Chattahoochee River that also carries U.S. Route 280. SR 520 becomes unsigned SR 38 upon crossing the state line. The route follows US 280 southeast to Richland, then runs independently to Dawson. The route joins US 82 there and overlaps it throughout much of southern Georgia all the way to I-95. SR 520 then runs concurrently with US 17/SR 25 for a few miles before departing and proceeding to Jekyll Island, where it ends at Beach View Drive.
While not part of the Appalachian Development Highway System, SR 520 is nevertheless designated as Corridor Z. To emphasize the special designation, SR 520 route markers have a green background and numbers as opposed to black, which is normally used on state Route markers. Some markers also feature the small abbreviation "CORR Z" near the top of the state outline, though this practice is being phased out.

Famous quotes containing the words route and/or description:
“A Route of Evanescence
With a revolving Wheel—”
—Emily Dickinson (1830–1886)
“The next Augustan age will dawn on the other side of the Atlantic. There will, perhaps, be a Thucydides at Boston, a Xenophon at New York, and, in time, a Virgil at Mexico, and a Newton at Peru. At last, some curious traveller from Lima will visit England and give a description of the ruins of St Paul’s, like the editions of Balbec and Palmyra.”
—Horace Walpole (1717–1797)
