context_page_description: State Route 383 is a 7.4-mile-long state highway in the east-central part of the U.S. state of Georgia. It is located within portions of Richmond and Columbia counties. It connects Fort Gordon with Martinez and Evans.
  The highway is known as Jimmie Dyess Parkway from its southern terminus to an intersection with Park West Drive, one block south of the interchange with Interstate 20. It is named after Lieutenant Colonel Aquilla James "Jimmie" Dyess, a United States Marine Corps officer who was a posthumous recipient of the Medal of Honor for "conspicuous gallantry and intrepidity at the risk of his life" at the head of his troops during World War II in the Battle of Kwajalein, on Roi-Namur, Kwajalein Atoll, Marshall Islands on February 2, 1944. The highway is also known as South Belair Road from Park West Drive to SR 232 and North Belair Road for the rest of its length. Just like nearby SR 223, SR 383 serves as an important access route leading from Fort Gordon to the local area.
context_section_description: SR 383 begins at an intersection with US 78/US 278/SR 10 (Gordon Highway) approximately 0.5 miles (0.80 km) north of Fort Gordon's Gate 1, in Augusta, in Richmond County. The highway heads northward, then curves north-northwesterly. It intersects Wrightsboro Road along the Columbia County line. Just south of an interchange with Interstate 20 (I-20; Carl Sanders Highway), the highway intersects both the eastern terminus of Park West Drive and the western terminus of Belair Frontage Road, where it takes on the South Belair Road local name. After the I-20 interchange, SR 383 intersects Wheeler Road and travels along the Martinez–Evans line to an intersection with SR 232 (Columbia Road), where it takes on the North Belair Road local name. Immediately afterward, the highway enters Evans proper and curves to the northeast. In the main part of Evans, it has an intersection with the eastern terminus of Hereford Farm Road and the western terminus of Towne Centre Drive. Approximately 1,500 feet (460 m) later, SR 383 meets its northern terminus, an intersection with SR 104 (Washington Road). Here, North Belair Road continues northwest of Martinez.
  All of SR 383 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.
