[edit] Termini

As of 2006, the highway's eastern terminus is in Brunswick, Georgia at an intersection with Interstate 95. It is co-signed for its last half mile with U.S. Route 17. Its western terminus is in Alamogordo, New Mexico at an intersection with U.S. Route 54 and U.S. Route 70 (though some signs continue the route to Interstate 25 in Las Cruces).^[2]

[edit] Historic termini

The east ends of US 82 and U.S. Route 84 were swapped in 1989 after the roads around Waycross, Georgia were reconfigured.

[edit] States traversed

The highway passes through the following states:

Georgia. Throughout much of southern Georgia, U.S. 82 is paired with State Route 520 and designated as "Corridor Z" and "South Georgia Parkway." West of Dawson, U.S. 82 is paired with Georgia Hwy 50, the historic State Route number for U.S. 82 in Georgia.
Alabama. Throughout Alabama, U.S. 82 is paired with unsigned State Route 6.
Mississippi The Mississippi section of U.S. 82 is defined in Mississippi Code Annotated § 65-3-3.
