The highway is split into two disconnected segments. Its shorter western segment extends 12.8 miles (20.6 km) from Georgia State Route 17 (SR 17) at the northern terminus of Martin Luther King Jr. Street in Thomson to a point where US 78/SR 10/SR 17 cross over Little River south-southeast of Aonia. The longer eastern segment extends 25.6 miles (41.2 km) from where SR 47 crosses over the Little River on the Lincoln–Columbia county line northwest of Pollards Corner to where SR 28 meets the western terminus of Broad Street in Augusta.
The western segment is mostly a rural highway, with the exception of the part in the Thomson area. Its entire length is part of SR 17. It is also part of US 78/SR 10 from north of Thomson to this segment's northern terminus. At the western end of the eastern segment, it is also fairly rural, but at its eastern end, it is an urban corridor of the Augusta metropolitan area. It connects rural areas of northeastern Columbia County with Evans, Martinez, and Augusta. It also skirts along the northern and eastern sides of Augusta National Golf Club. From its western terminus, on the Lincoln–Columbia county line, to Pollards Corner, it is signed as part of Georgia State Route 47 (SR 47). In Pollards Corner, it is briefly signed as part of SR 150. From Pollards Corner to Augusta, it is signed as part of SR 104. In Martinez, it is briefly signed as part of SR 232. In Augusta, it is signed as the entirety of SR 104 Connector and part of SR 28.
