There are two sections of SR112 that are part of the National Highway System, a system of roadways important to the nation's economy, defense, and mobility.

• The section concurrent with SR32 in Ashburn

• The section concurrent with US129 Alternate between Hawkinsville and Cochran

History

Before the Fall Line Freeway (SR 540) was built, SR112 continued north to Milledgeville and had its northern terminus at an intersection of SR 22/SR 24 and the northern terminus of SR 49 (North Elbert Street / East Hancock Street). After the Fall Line Freeway (SR540) was built and open to traffic in 2018, SR112 was truncated and had its new northern terminus at an intersection of SR540 (Fall Line Freeway).

Major intersections

Milledgeville spur route

State Route112 Spur (SR112 Spur) was a spur route of SR112 that existed entirely within the east-central part of Milledgeville. It was known as Vinson Highway for its entire length.

It began at an intersection with the SR112 mainline. It curved to the left and met its northern terminus, an intersection with US 441 Bus./SR 243 (South Wayne Street).

The roadway that would eventually become SR112 Spur was established between January 1945 and November 1946, as SR 29 Spur on the northern part of Vinson Highway, from the southern part of Vinson Highway in the southeastern part of the city north-northwest and northwest to US 441/SR 29 (Wayne Street) in the southern part of the city. Between July 1957 and June 1960, it was redesignated as SR112 Spur. The southern part of Vinson Highway was designated as part of SR112. In 1989, this highway was decommissioned.
