Notes
- The highway is named the Jim L. Gillis Highway. It also carries the unsigned designation of Georgia State Route 404, though the state route has a spur that is signed.
- The highway was once known sarcastically as the Jim Gillis Dragstrip due to the interstate passing through Treutlen County, the home county of long-time Georgia Highway Board member Jim L. Gillis.
- I-516 spurs off in two opposite directions, perpendicular to I-16.
- Numbers run from the west at Macon to the east at Savannah.
- As with all Georgia interstate highways, exit numbers were replaced in 2000 with mile-log numbers.
- I-16 serves as a hurricane evacuation route for Savannah and other coastal areas. The road is designed for contraflow travel with railroad-type gates to most block entrance and exit ramps for the normally eastbound lanes. Some ramps are ungated, apparently for entrance to and exit from the contraflow lanes. Just east of Exit 42 is a crossover to return all westbound traffic to the westbound travel lanes.
- Southeast of Macon, I-16 passes through Ocmulgee National Monument but without direct access. Visitors need to first exit at the Colliseum Drive (U.S. Route 80) exit.
