===Macon-Bibb County=== [[File:17_36_105_Interstate16.jpg|left|thumb|I-16 in [[Ocmulgee Mounds National Historical Park]]]] I-16 begins at an [[Interchange (road)|interchange]] with [[Interstate 75 in Georgia|I-75]]/[[Georgia State Route 540|SR 540]], just northwest of downtown Macon, in [[Bibb County, Georgia|Bibb County]]. Here, it begins a [[Concurrency (road)|concurrency]] with SR 540. The Interstate and SR 540 proceed southeast, traveling just east of the downtown area. They cross over the [[Ocmulgee River]] and then have an interchange with [[U.S. Route 23 in Georgia|US 23]]/[[U.S. Route 129 in Georgia|US 129]]/[[Georgia State Route 49|SR 49]] (Spring Street/North Avenue). Then, they have a partial interchange with [[Georgia State Route 22|SR 22]] (2nd Street) that is only accessible from the westbound lanes. Almost immediately is an interchange with [[U.S. Route 80 in Georgia|US 80]]/[[Georgia State Route 87|SR 87]] (Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard/Coliseum Drive). At this intersection, SR 540 departs the concurrency to the north-northeast. Within the eastern part of this interchange, the highway travels under a [[railroad bridge]] that carries [[railroad tracks]] of [[Norfolk Southern Railway]]. In the east-central part of Macon, I-16 travels through [[Ocmulgee Mounds National Historical Park]] but without direct access. Visitors need to first exit at the US 80/SR 87 exit. On the southern edge of the national monument, it crosses over [[Walnut Creek (Ocmulgee River)|Walnut Creek]]. It then travels on a bridge over some railroad tracks of [[CSX Transportation|CSX]] and Boggy Branch. After leaving Macon, I-16 curves to the south-southeast and has an interchange with US 23/[[U.S. Route 129 Alternate (Hawkinsville-Macon, Georgia)|U.S. Route 129 Alternate]] (US 129 Alt.)/SR 87 (Ocmulgee East Boulevard). In the interchange, the highway crosses over [[Swift Creek (Ocmulgee River)|Swift Creek]]. It crosses over Stone Creek before entering [[Twiggs County, Georgia|Twiggs County]].<ref name=Google>{{Google maps|url=https://www.google.com/maps/dir/32.8590152,-83.6425294/32.0746781,-81.0983089/@32.5490316,-83.49162,8z/am=t/data=!3m1!4b1!4m2!4m1!3e0 |title=Overview map of I-16 |access-date=December 21, 2016}}</ref>
