Route description

Northern terminus in Roberta

SR 128 begins at an intersection with SR 26/SR 49/SR 49 Truck, southwest of Oglethorpe, in Macon County. SR 49/SR 128 head concurrently to the northeast, intersecting SR 128 Bypass, past Oglethorpe Cemetery, and to an intersection with SR 90. At this intersection, SR 49 north turns onto SR 90 east (Chatham Street), while SR 90 west/SR 128 north turn northwest. Just prior to leaving town is a second intersection with SR 128 Bypass. A little ways north of town, the two highways split, and SR 128 passes through part of Whitewater State Park. The road passes through rural areas of the county, and has a short concurrency with SR 127. Then, it crosses into Taylor County, and passes through Reynolds. In town is an intersection with SR 96/SR 540 (Marion Street). Just before leaving the county, it meets the eastern terminus of SR 137. Shortly to the northeast is the Benjamin Hawkins Bridge over the Flint River, which marks the Taylor–Crawford county line. SR 128 heads northeast into Roberta, where it meets its northern terminus, an intersection with US 341/SR 7 (South Dugger Avenue).[1]

SR 128 is not part of the National Highway System, a system of roadways important to the nation's economy, defense, and mobility.[2]
