Although for most of its route, GA 300 is a standard Georgia 4-lane, with a mix of divided and continuous center turn lane, the Cordele Bypass is an expressway.
Junction Log:
There are interchanges at I-75 and US 41.
US 301:
The US 301 bypass of Sylvania is an expressway. Feeder roads parallel the highway for the entire distance, and there is space reserved for a future interchagne at GA 21.
