Northwest of here, SR 47 has the local name of Augusta Highway. SR 47/Washington Road travel to the southeast. After a southerly jog, they continue to the southeast, skirting along the western edge of Pointes West Army Resort. Then, they cross over Kegg Creek on the Major Byron S.

There, they intersect with SR 150 (Cobbham Road). SR 47/SR 150/Washington Road travel concurrently for one block. At an intersection with U.S. Route 221 (US 221), SR 47 splits off to travel concurrent with US 221 south, while SR 150 splits off to travel concurrent with US 221 north.

Slightly more than 2 miles (3.2 km) after that, they cross over Euchee Creek on the G.B. "Dip" Lamkin Bridge. Just before entering Evans, they transition into a retail corridor. In town, they travel southwest of Evans Towne Center Park and intersect the northern terminus of SR 383 (North Belair Road).
