State Route 383 (SR 383) is a 7.4-mile-long (11.9 km) state highway in the east-central part of the U.S. state of Georgia. It is located just west of Augusta, within portions of Richmond and Columbia counties. It connects Fort Gordon with Martinez and Evans.
The highway is known as Jimmie Dyess Parkway from its southern terminus to an intersection with Park West Drive, one block south of the interchange with Interstate 20 (I-20). It is named after Lieutenant Colonel Aquilla James "Jimmie" Dyess, a United States Marine Corps officer who was a posthumous recipient of the Medal of Honor for "conspicuous gallantry and intrepidity at the risk of his life" at the head of his troops during World War II in the Battle of Kwajalein, on Roi-Namur, Kwajalein Atoll, Marshall Islands on February 2, 1944. It is also known as South Belair Road from Park West Drive to SR 232 (Columbia Road) and North Belair Road for the rest of its length. Just like nearby SR 223, SR 383 serves as an important access route leading from the local area to Fort Gordon.
