There, it meets its eastern terminus, an intersection with SR 49, this section of which runs along the Sumter-Macon county line.

[1] SR 228 is not part of the National Highway System, a system of routes determined to be the most important for the nation's economy, mobility and defense.

This is due to the fact that SR 195 used to exist north of Andersonville.

[9][10] As of September 2009[update], SR 228 used to continue further west into Ellaville along Andersonville Road.

[11] The western terminus of SR 228 was in downtown Ellaville at US 19/SR 3 but was moved east to its current location by 2012 when a new four-lane alignment of US 19/SR 3 east of the town opened.
