'''Interstate&nbsp;520''' ('''I-520''') is a {{convert|23.34|mi|km|2|adj=on}} [[auxiliary Interstate Highway]] that encircles most of [[Augusta, Georgia]] and [[North Augusta, South Carolina]] as a three-quarter [[ring road|beltway]] around the western, southern, and eastern parts of the main part of the [[Augusta metropolitan area]]. It begins at [[Interstate 20 in Georgia|I-20]] and [[Georgia State Route 232|State Route&nbsp;232]] (SR&nbsp;232) in the northern part of Augusta, Georgia, and ends at [[Interstate 20 in South Carolina|I-20]] in the northern part of North Augusta, South Carolina. I-520 is also known as '''[[Bobby Jones Expressway]]''' and the '''Deputy James D. Paugh Memorial Highway''' in Georgia and '''Palmetto Parkway''' in South Carolina. On the Georgia side, the road also carries [[unsigned highway|the internal designation]] '''State Route&nbsp;415''' ('''SR&nbsp;415''').<!--it's odd that a auxiliary route starting with '5' is a loop/bypass route instead of a spur, should be noted, although this wasn't an issue until recently-->
