State Route 57 (SR 57) is a 178.5-mile-long (287.3 km) state highway that runs northwest-to-southeast through portions of Bibb, Jones, Twiggs, Wilkinson, Washington, Johnson, Emanuel, Candler, Tattnall, Long, and McIntosh counties in the central and southeastern parts of the U.S. state of Georgia. The route connects the eastern part of the Macon area to the Eulonia area, via Swainsboro.
SR 57 begins at an intersection with US 80/SR 19 (Jeffersonville Road), just east of Macon in Bibb County. SR 57 travels east, through rural areas of the county, before cutting across the southern corner of Jones County and crossing into Twiggs County. In Twiggs County, the route passes through rural areas of the county before entering Wilkinson County. South-southwest of Gordon is an intersection with SR 18 (Gordon Road). To the east-southeast, in Irwinton, is an intersection with US 441/SR 29. It heads east, into Toomsboro, where it intersects SR 112 (Main Street). The road continues to the southeast, in a curving fashion, and crosses over the Oconee River into the southwestern corner of Washington County. Before entering Johnson County, it intersects SR 68 (Balls Ferry Road). It passes through rural areas of Johnson County until it enters Wrightsville. There, it intersects SR 15 (North Marcus Street). The two highways run concurrent to the south. Almost immediately, they intersect US 319/SR 31/SR 78 (Elm Street). At this intersection, SR 31 runs concurrent with US 319 south of the town, while SR 78 runs concurrent north of the town. SR 15/SR 57/SR 78 head south for one block, where SR 57 departs to the east, on East College Street. It curves to the east-southeast and passes through rural areas of the county. Then, it enters the town of Kite, where it intersects US 221/SR 171 (Montgomery Street). After that, it enters Emanuel County. The road heads southeast and meets US 1/SR 4, just before entering Swainsboro. Immediately afterward, it passes the Emanuel County Airport, Watson Lake, and the northeastern-most corner of Swainsboro Golf & Country Club. Approximately 4,000 feet (1,200 m) later, the highway intersects US 80/SR 26 (West Main Street) and SR 56 (Tyson Street). The four highways head concurrent to the northwest. At the intersection with US 1 Business/SR 4 Business (North Main Street), US 80/SR 26/SR 56 continue to the northeast, while US 1 Business/SR 4 Business/SR 57 head southeast and leave the city limits.
