Several special routes of U.S. Route 23 exist. In order from south to north they are as follows.

U.S. Route 23 Business is a 9.622-mile (15.485 km) route that goes through downtown Waycross. It is in concurrency with U.S. Business Route 1 and signed primarily as that route.

U.S. Route 23 Business (US 23 Bus.) was a business route of US 23 that existed completely within the city limits of Hazlehurst. It was completely concurrent with SR 19 Bus. It traveled along East Jefferson Road and then turned onto US 221/SR 135, which traveled northbound along South Cromartie Street and southbound along South Tallahassee Street until they reached US 23/US 341/SR 19/SR 27. In 1986, the path of US 23/SR 19 in the city was shifted eastward. Its former path, including the concurrent path of US 221/SR 135, was redesignated as SR 19 Bus. The next year, US 23 Bus. was established on the path of SR 19 Bus. In 1995, both US 23 Bus. and SR 19 Bus. were decommissioned. The portion not concurrent with US 221/SR 135 was redesignated as SR 135.
