S.R. 3 has a brief freeway section around the west side of Griffin. South of Griffin, U.S. 19 and U.S. 41 diverge, with S.R. 3 following U.S. 19 south through Thomaston, Butler, and Americus. Both routes join U.S. 82 and the Liberty Expressway around the north and east sides of Albany, with U.S. 82 leaving and S.R. 300 (the Georgia-Florida Parkway) joining near the end of the freeway. Both S.R. 3 and S.R. 300 follow U.S. 19 the rest of the way to the Florida state line, except that S.R. 3 instead uses an older routing of U.S. 19 for about fifteen miles between Meigs and Thomasville before rejoining the expressway.
