State Route 55 (SR 55) is a 21adj=midNaNadj=mid state highway that runs south-to-north through portions of Calhoun and Terrell counties in the southwestern part of the U.S. state of Georgia. It connects the Leary and Dawson areas of the state.
SR 55 begins at an intersection with SR 37/SR 62 in Leary, in Calhoun County. It heads northeast on Mercer Avenue, before traveling to the north on Bray Street. It travels northeast, through rural sections of the county. The highway passes the Spring Creek Cemetery. Just over 1miles after intersecting SR 234, the route crosses into Terrell County. The highway continues to the north until it meets its northern terminus, an intersection with US 82/SR 520 in Dawson.
A largely rural route, State Route 55 sees an Average Annual Daily Traffic of less than 2,000 vehicles.
SR 55 used to continue north, into Cusseta, along what is now US 82/SR 520, but was superseded, and thus replaced, upon the commissioning of US 82/SR 520.[1]
