Montgomery, Al. to Tifton, Georgia

Does anyone have any experience driving from Montgomery, Al. to Tifton, Ga by way of 82 highway. We are leaving Saturday from Kansas to go to south central Florida. I'd like to know road condition, divide highway, wide rv friendly road and does it go thru lots of small towns with slow downs. Any input would be appreciated.

  • 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.
