SR 25 Connector in Savannah links I-516, U.S. 80 and SR 21-25-26 with Historic Downtown Savannah and U.S. 17/SR 404 Spur on the Talmadge Bridge approach. 3.12 miles in length, SR 25CO follows a hook shaped alignment east from I-516 along Bay Street, south along Martin Luther King, Jr. Boulevard and west on Oglethorpe Avenue. Cardinal directions along the route are counter intuitive, with northbound actually traveling east and south and vice versa.
The state route was formed to provide connectivity from the Talmadge Bridge east into Downtown, and U.S. 17 with its former alignment along SR 25 north through Garden City.
