between february 1948 and april 1949, us 82 was designated on sr 50 from the alabama state line to waycross. by august 1950, sr 50 was extended southeast to a point just west of jekyll island. in 1952, sr 50 was extended southeast to the southern part of jekyll island. by september 1953, us 84 was extended on sr 50 southeast to a point south of brunswick. between june 1955 and july 1957, us 17/sr 25's path northeast of the us 84/sr 50 west of brunswick was shifted south onto us 84/sr 50. also, us 82 was extended on sr 38 from waycross to midway. between june 1960 and june 1963, the path of sr& 50 through albany was split into sr 50n and sr 50s. sr 50n used broad avenue and sylvester road, while us 82/sr 50s used oglethorpe avenue and albany expressway. in 1968, a northeastern bypass of the main part of albany was proposed as a northern extension of sr 333 from the interchange of us 19/sr 333 and us 82/sr 50s in the eastern part of the city to us 19/sr 3w in the northwestern part of the city. in 1973, sr 50n was redesignated as sr 50 conn., while sr 50s was redesignated as the sr 50 mainline. sr 50 was extended around the northern part of jekyll island. the next year, the bypass in albany was built as a freeway, but there was no indication as to what highways were designated on it. in early 1980, us 19, us 82, and sr 333 were indicated to be designated on the albany bypass. the old path of the highways were redesignated as us 19 bus./us 82 bus. with sr 3 concurrent with them in the western part of the city and sr 50 concurrent with them in the southern and eastern parts of it. later that year, sr 333 was truncated out of albany. sr 50 was shifted onto the us 19/us 82 freeway. its old path in the city was redesignated as sr 50 bus. the next year, sr 50 was truncated to the southwestern part of jekyll island. in 1988, sr 50 was further truncated to dawson. its former path from dawson to jekyll island was redesignated as part of sr 520. in 1989, the segments of us 82 and us 84 east of waycross were swapped. the waycross–brunswick segment of us 82/sr 520 was truncated to the i-95 interchange.
