SR 22 originally traveled only from Columbus to Macon, and was incrementally extended to Comer in stages. It was rerouted many times in Columbus and formerly had a more northern path in the Macon area.
The part of the highway from the Alabama state line east to Geneva is part of the Fall Line Freeway (SR 540), a long-distance four-lane highway that extends from Columbus to Augusta. Also, this section could be included in the proposed eastern extension of Interstate 14 (I-14).
