Route Description
Interstate 520 begins at Interstate 20 in the northwest part of Augusta, and hooks around to the south and then east, crossing the Savannah River and crossing the Georgia — South Carolina state line before heading to the north to meet back up with Interstate 20. Its terminus is at Interstate 20 in North Augusta, South Carolina. The westernmost three miles are three lanes in each direction, with the remainder of the interstate having two lanes in each direction.
In Georgia, I-520 is named the Bobby Jones Expressway for golfer Bobby Jones; in South Carolina it is named the Palmetto Parkway for the sabal palmetto, the state tree. I-520 loses its state route designation in South Carolina, as it does not co-number its interstates with state highway numbers.
Although undesignated, the Bobby Jones Expressway continues north of I-20 in Georgia to have an interchange with Scott Nixon Memorial Drive and is designated as Georgia State Route 232.

Famous quotes containing the words route and/or description:
“By a route obscure and lonely,
Haunted by ill angels only,
Where an eidolon, named Night,
On a black throne reigns upright,
I have reached these lands but newly
From an ultimate dim Thule—
From a wild weird clime that lieth, sublime,
Out of space—out of time.”
—Edgar Allan Poe (1809–1849)
“It is possible—indeed possible even according to the old conception of logic—to give in advance a description of all ‘true’ logical propositions. Hence there can never be surprises in logic.”
—Ludwig Wittgenstein (1889–1951)
