State Route 62 (SR 62) is a 62.19-mile-long (100.09 km) state highway in the southwestern part of the U.S. state of Georgia. It connects Columbia, Alabama with Albany.

Route description

SR 62 begins at the Alabama state line, where the highway continues as Alabama State Route 52 into Columbia. SR 62 travels in a northeasterly direction, through rural areas of Early County, toward Blakely. About 2 miles (3.2 km) after starting, it intersects the northern terminus of SR 370 near Hilton. Just after entering Blakely, SR 62 has an intersection with SR 62 Bypass before going to downtown Blakely. While in downtown, it has an intersection with US 27 Business/SR 1 Business/SR 39 (South Main Street). The four routes head concurrent around the city square. A little farther to the east is the western terminus of SR 200 (Damascus Road). Then, SR 62 intersects US 27/SR 1. It continues to the northeast and has a second intersection with SR 62 Bypass. Just before leaving Blakely, it passes the Early County Airport. It heads east and east-northeast through rural portions of the county. Just before it leaves the county, it enters Arlington. In town, it begins a concurrency with SR 45/SR 216 (Highland Avenue South) and heads north into Calhoun County. Once in the Calhoun County portion of town, SR 62 departs its concurrency with SR 45/SR 216 (Highland Avenue North). The route continues in an east-northeast direction through rural portions of Calhoun County, and enters the town of Leary. In Leary, the route has an intersection with SR 37 (Depot Street). This intersection also marks the southern terminus of SR 55 (Mercer Avenue). SR 37/SR 62 have a very brief concurrency before SR 62 departs to the east. A short distance later, it crosses over Chickasawhatchee Creek into Dougherty County, going through the town of Pretoria, before reaching SR 91. The two highways head concurrent to the northeast and enter Albany. In Albany, they pass the Southwest Georgia Regional Airport. Just past the airport, SR 62 splits off to the north for a brief distance before reaching its eastern terminus, an intersection with SR 234.

The entire length of SR 1 is part of the National Highway System, a system of routes determined to be the most important for the nation's economy, mobility, and defense.
