==History==
===1920s===
The roadway that would eventually become US&nbsp;1/SR&nbsp;4 was designated at least as early as 1919 as part of SR&nbsp;15 from the Florida state line to Alma, an unnumbered road from Alma to Baxley, part of SR&nbsp;17 from Swainsboro to Louisville, and another unnumbered road from Louisville to Augusta.<ref name="GDOT 1920">{{cite GDOT map |year=1920 |access-date=April 15, 2017 }}</ref> By the end of 1921, [[Georgia State Route 32|SR&nbsp;32]] was proposed on the Alma–Baxley segment. SR&nbsp;17 was proposed on the Baxley–Swainsboro segment. The portion of SR&nbsp;24 east of Louisville was shifted northwestward on the previously unnumbered road from Louisville to Augusta. Also, the portion of SR&nbsp;17 north of Louisville was shifted eastward onto that same road from Louisville to Wrens.<ref name="GDOT 1920"/><ref name="GDOT 1921">{{Cite GDOT map |year=1921 |access-date=April 15, 2017 }}</ref> By the end of 1926, US&nbsp;1 was designated on the entire Florida-to-Augusta path. SR&nbsp;32 was designated from a point north-northeast of Alma to Lyons. SR&nbsp;17 was designated from Baxley to Wrens. US&nbsp;78/SR&nbsp;10/[[Georgia State Route 12|SR&nbsp;12]] was designated from a point west-southwest of Augusta into that city. Three segments of US&nbsp;1 had a "completed hard surface": a segment south-southeast of the Charlton–Brantley county line, from a point southeast of Waycross into that city, and from a point southwest of Augusta into that city. Two segments had a "completed semi hard surface": from the Florida state line to a point south-southeast of the Charlton–Brantley county line and from just south-southeast of this county line to southeast of Waycross. Two segments had a "sand clay or top soil" surface: from just south of the Ware–Bacon county line to Alma and from the Emanuel–Jefferson county line to Louisville. Four segments were indicated to be under construction: from Waycross to just south of the Ware–Bacon county line, from Alma to Baxley, from Swainsboro to the Emanuel–Jefferson county line, and from Louisville to southwest of Augusta.<ref name="GDOT 1921"/><ref name="GDOT 1926">{{cite GDOT map |year=1926 |access-date=April 15, 2017 }}</ref> By the end of 1929, SR&nbsp;4 was designated from Florida to Augusta. SR&nbsp;32 was truncated off of US&nbsp;1 at Alma. SR&nbsp;24's portion east of Louisville was shifted back to its former routing, off of US&nbsp;1.

No numbered highways were indicated to be designated on it, so US&nbsp;1/SR&nbsp;4 remained on its previous path. It had an interchange with US&nbsp;25/[[Georgia State Route 21|SR&nbsp;21]].

===1960s===
By June 1960, SR&nbsp;15 was shifted eastward, onto a completely different alignment. It had two different concurrencies with US&nbsp;1/SR&nbsp;4: from the Florida state line to Racepond and from Baxley to South Thompson. In Augusta, SR&nbsp;10 was shifted off of SR&nbsp;4 and onto Gordon Highway. SR&nbsp;21 was extended onto the SR&nbsp;4/SR&nbsp;12 concurrency on Twiggs Street and 7th Street. SR&nbsp;21 reached its northern terminus at Broad Street. US&nbsp;25 was shifted off of Broad Street and onto Gordon Highway, which was extended to the South Carolina state line.

SR&nbsp;21 was extended west-northwest on US&nbsp;25 Bus./SR&nbsp;28 (Broad Street) and followed the business route to the South Carolina state line. SR&nbsp;121 was extended on Gordon Highway from the US&nbsp;25/SR&nbsp;21/SR&nbsp;121 interchange to the state line.

==Future==
The portion from the southern part of [[Wrens, Georgia|Wrens]] to the central part of Augusta is part of the [[Fall Line Freeway]], a highway that connects [[Columbus, Georgia|Columbus]] and Augusta. This portion may eventually be incorporated into the proposed eastern extension of [[Interstate 14 in Georgia|I-14]], which is currently entirely within [[Central Texas]] and may be extended into Augusta.

===Widening project (Wadley to Wrens)===
{{Update|section|date=January 2023}}
The [[Georgia Department of Transportation]] (GDOT) will widen {{convert|21|mi|km}} of US&nbsp;1/SR&nbsp;4 from north of Wadley to Wrens and will be a total of $17&nbsp;million in budget. This project will widen US&nbsp;1/SR&nbsp;4 from two lanes to a four-lane road (each having {{convert|11|ft|m|disp=sqbr}} in width). Currently, GDOT has an ongoing plan to widen all of US&nbsp;1/SR&nbsp;4 to four lanes (with bypasses) with more than half of it complete. In a few years, it will be complete, and they will move on to the next phase. This project will be completed on September 30, 2022.
