Interstate 520 [HD]

This video follows I-20 and I-520 (Bobby Jones Expressway/Palmetto Parkway) in Augusta, Georgia and North Augusta, South Carolina. I-520 was recently completed from its terminus at U.S. 1/78/278 in North Augusta all the way to its parent (I-20), just east of the Richmond-Aiken county line.

Indeed. They were on a mission (lol).

I actually didn't find out about the finished expansion until recently. I might see if I could go around on that freeway next time I go through Augusta. Now since it has been expanded back to I-20, that freeway is no longer a spur route, and therefore defies the rule in which three-digits starting with 1, 3, 5, 7, or 9 are spur routes and ones starting with 2, 4, 6, or 8 are loop or freeway to freeway routes. If the DOT was so sensitive to that, than this highway would be renamed I-620 or I-420.

Yeah, I heard about the completion through the roadgeek "grapevine."

That's a very valid point. But to cut down on confusion, this is probably why SCDOT and GDOT didn't try to renumber the route.

Nice ride. I love Augusta Georgia. Spent a vacation there when I was a kid, the people there were very pleasant and friendly. I hope it hasn't changed, it was over 30 years ago, but I still remember it, what stuck in my mind was I had a brand new baseball glove and lost it, and somebody had found it and returned it to me days later. I thought I would never see it again. Still have that glove. A guy just walking by asked did anybody lose a glove? And sure enough it was my baseball glove.
