Route description
There is no section of SR 268 that is included as a part of the National Highway System, a system of routes determined to be the most important for the nation's economy, mobility and defense.[5]
SR 268 begins at an intersection with SR 32 southeast of Ambrose. The route heads north-northeast and curves to the northeast to enter Ambrose. There, it crosses a Seaboard Coast Line railroad. It heads northeast, crosses the Seventeen Mile River, and intersects SR 206 (Bowens Mill Road). Farther to the northeast is Broxton, where it has a brief concurrency with US 441/SR 31 along Alabama Street. Northeast of Broxton, the route enters Jeff Davis County, and meets its eastern terminus, an intersection with SR 107 in Snipesville.[3][4]
History
SR 268 was established in 1950, with the part from SR 32 to Ambrose being paved.[1][2] In 1957, a section from Broxton just to the northeast was paved.[6][7] By 1960, the road was paved from its western terminus to just northeast of the Coffee-Jeff Davis County line. Also, the road was extended to Hazlehurst.[7][8] By 1988, the road's eastern terminus was truncated to Snipesville, where it is today.[9][10]
