Montgomery, Al. to Tifton, Georgia

82 (a/k/a GA 520) is a fantastic road from Dawson to Tifton. 4 lane all the way from Columbus. A few small towns and speed changes along the way. We run it regularly from Columbus to Tifton (just did last week) with a toad behind the moho. More stop and go on the section from Albany to Tifton but it goes fast.

I think I'd prefer running over to US 280 in Columbus on US 80 or I-85 from Montgomery to Columbus then down the 520. I think your total route would be more 2 lane than the 520 but regardless your proposed route should be no problem as a good bit of it is rural.

I drove from Montgomery to the Tifton area a month ago with my 5th wheel. The road is good and not that much traffic. You shouldn't have any problems along this way.

82 through GA is a beautiful drive through rural south GA all the way to Waycross.

Hwy 82 is a good highway all the way across Alabama.

So are you saying US 82 from Brunswick, GA (where it starts) to Waycross is no good? :)

Thanks guys, Makes me feel more comfortable taking it. At least now I can warrant avoiding Atlanta traffic.

Approximately half way between Tuscaloosa and Montgomery on Hwy 82 at Maplesville is a rest area that has a dump station.

Not at all, that's just the part I use and am familiar with

We took 82 and it was fine. One town had a rough couple of blocks in their downtown area. The highlight of the cut across was Eufalla. There is a section of town that has a beautiful boulevard with unbelievable ante bellum homes.
