**State Route 2** (**SR 2**) is a 165-mile-long (266 km) east-west State highway in the far North-northern part of Georgia. The highway serves southern suburbs of Chattanooga, Tennessee, as well as much of the [mountains](/source/North_Georgia_mountains) in the northern part of the state. It traverses the [counties](/source/County_(United_States)) of [Walker](/source/Walker_County%2C_Georgia), [Catoosa](/source/Catoosa_County%2C_Georgia), [Whitfield](/source/Whitfield_County%2C_Georgia), [Murray](/source/Murray_County%2C_Georgia), [Gilmer](/source/Gilmer_County%2C_Georgia), [Fannin](/source/Fannin_County%2C_Georgia), [Union](/source/Union_County%2C_Georgia), [Towns](/source/Towns_County%2C_Georgia), and [Rabun](/source/Rabun_County%2C_Georgia). It connects [Flintstone](/source/Flintstone%2C_Georgia), in the [northwestern part](/source/Northwest_Georgia) of the state, with the [South Carolina](/source/South_Carolina) state line southeast of [Clayton](/source/Clayton%2C_Georgia) in the northern part and the [northeastern part](/source/Northeast_Georgia) of the state. It also travels through [Fort Oglethorpe](/source/Fort_Oglethorpe%2C_Georgia), [Ringgold](/source/Ringgold%2C_Georgia), [Ellijay](/source/Ellijay%2C_Georgia), [Blue Ridge](/source/Blue_Ridge%2C_Georgia), [Blairsville](/source/Blairsville%2C_Georgia), and [Hiawassee](/source/Hiawassee%2C_Georgia). Parts of the highway in the Whitfield and Murray county area are designated as the Cohutta–Chattahoochee Scenic Byway.[3]

## Route description

This section needs expansion. You can help by adding missing information. (June 2014)

SR 2 begins at an [intersection](/source/Intersection_(road)) with [SR 193](/source/Georgia_State_Route_193) in the community of [Flintstone](/source/Flintstone%2C_Georgia), the route travels east along Battlefield Parkway (with a portion of it named after Chief Deputy Baxter Shavers[4]), with a brief [concurrency](/source/Concurrency_(road)) with [US 27](/source/U.S._Route_27_in_Georgia)/[SR 1](/source/Georgia_State_Route_1). It then has an [interchange](/source/Interchange_(road)) with [Interstate 75](/source/Interstate_75_in_Georgia) (I-75), before reaching [US 41](/source/U.S._Route_41_in_Georgia)/[US 76](/source/U.S._Route_76_in_Georgia)/[SR 3](/source/Georgia_State_Route_3). After a brief concurrency with US 41/US 76/SR 3 through [Ringgold](/source/Ringgold%2C_Georgia), SR 2 splits off in [Stone Church](https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Stone_Church,_Georgia&action=edit&redlink=1) and continues east. After crossing the [Conasauga River](/source/Conasauga_River), the route has another brief concurrency with [SR 225](/source/Georgia_State_Route_225), then continues a short distance east to [US 411](/source/U.S._Route_411_in_Georgia)/[SR 61](/source/Georgia_State_Route_61) in the community of [Cisco](/source/Cisco%2C_Georgia). SR 2 travels concurrent with US 411/SR 61 to [Chatsworth](/source/Chatsworth%2C_Georgia). In Chatsworth, SR 2 travels concurrent with [SR 52](/source/Georgia_State_Route_52) to the east past [Fort Mountain](/source/Fort_Mountain_(Murray_County%2C_Georgia)) to [Ellijay](/source/Ellijay%2C_Georgia). Here, SR 2 begins a lengthy concurrency with US 76 to the [South Carolina](/source/South_Carolina) state line. US 76/SR 2/[SR 5](/source/Georgia_State_Route_5)/[SR 515](/source/Georgia_State_Route_515), travel to the northeast to [Blue Ridge](/source/Blue_Ridge%2C_Georgia). In town, SR 5 departs to the north, while US 76/SR 2/SR 515 continue east to [Blairsville](/source/Blairsville%2C_Georgia). East of Blairsville, the concurrency arcs to the north, then east, around [Brasstown Bald](/source/Brasstown_Bald). West of [Hiawassee](/source/Hiawassee%2C_Georgia), SR 515 departs to the north, and US 76/SR 2 are joined by [SR 17](/source/Georgia_State_Route_17), then [SR 75](/source/Georgia_State_Route_75) in Hiawassee. East of Hiawassee, SR 17/SR 75 depart to the south, and US 76/SR 2 continue east through a series of [switchbacks](/source/Hairpin_turn) over the [Eastern Continental Divide](/source/Eastern_Continental_Divide) to [Clayton](/source/Clayton%2C_Georgia). At this point, US 76/SR 2 have a brief concurrency with [US 23](/source/U.S._Route_23_in_Georgia)/[US 441](/source/U.S._Route_441_in_Georgia)/[SR 15](/source/Georgia_State_Route_15). The two highways curve to the southeast and meet the eastern terminus of SR 2, the [South Carolina](/source/South_Carolina) state line. Here, US 76 continues toward [Westminster](/source/Westminster%2C_South_Carolina).[5]

The following portions of SR 2 are part of the [National Highway System](/source/National_Highway_System_(United_States)), a system of routes determined to be the most important for the nation's economy, mobility, and defense:

- From the western end of the US 27 concurrency, on the Fairview–Fort Oglethorpe line, to the I-75 interchange in Ringgold

- The brief US 76 concurrency, on US 411/SR 52, in Chatsworth

- From the western end of the US 76 concurrency, in East Ellijay, to the eastern end of the US 23/US 441/SR 15 concurrency in Clayton[6][7][8]

## History

### 1920s

SR 2 was established at least as early as 1919. Then, it started at an intersection with [SR 1](/source/Georgia_State_Route_1) in [LaFayette](/source/LaFayette%2C_Georgia). It traveled east-northeast to [Dalton](/source/Dalton%2C_Georgia). It then followed its current path to nearby [Chatsworth](/source/Chatsworth%2C_Georgia). It then took a more southerly route to [Ellijay](/source/Ellijay%2C_Georgia). It also followed its current path to [Clayton](/source/Clayton%2C_Georgia). It is unclear as to whether it traversed the Clayton–[South Carolina](/source/South_Carolina) path at this time.[2] By the end of 1921, the LaFayette–Dalton and Chatsworth–Ellijay segments were removed from the state highway. Traffic had to travel south-southeast to [Fairmount](/source/Fairmount%2C_Georgia). There, it traveled to the east-northeast, concurrent with [SR 53](/source/Georgia_State_Route_53) to a point northwest of [Talking Rock](/source/Talking_Rock%2C_Georgia). At that point, SR 53 ended and SR 2 began a concurrency with [SR 5](/source/Georgia_State_Route_5) north-northeast through Ellijay to Blue Ridge. Also, it was proposed to be extended northeast from Clayton to [Pine Mountain](/source/Pine_Mountain%2C_Rabun_County%2C_Georgia).[2][9] In 1926, the eastern part of the Dalton–Chatsworth segment and nearly the entire [Hiawassee](/source/Hiawassee%2C_Georgia)–Clayton segment had a "sand clay or top soil" surface. The rest of this segment had a "completed semi hard surface". Almost the entire western half of the [Blue Ridge](/source/Blue_Ridge%2C_Georgia)–[Blairsville](/source/Blairsville%2C_Georgia) segment had a "completed hard surface", with the center of this segment having a completed semi hard surface. Nearly the entire Blairsville–[Young Harris](/source/Young_Harris%2C_Georgia) segment was under construction.[9][10] In 1929, a different path between LaFayette and Dalton was re-added to the highway. It followed the current path of [SR 136](/source/Georgia_State_Route_136) and [SR 201](/source/Georgia_State_Route_201) east-southeast from LaFayette to [Villanow](/source/Villanow%2C_Georgia) and north-northeast to Dalton. About two-thirds of the LaFayette–Villanow segment had a completed semi hard surface. Also, The Clayton–Pine Mountain segment was cancelled.[10][11]

### 1930s

In the middle of 1930, the eastern part of the Dalton–Chatsworth segment had a completed hard surface. The Chatsworth–Ellijay segment was re-added to the highway. The western half of the Blairsville–Young Harris segment had a completed semi hard surface, with the eastern half, as well as the Young Harris–Hiawassee segment completed. The eastern part of the Hiawassee–Clayton segment was under construction.[11][12] By the end of the year, the entire LaFayette–Villanow segment had a completed semi hard surface. [US 41](/source/U.S._Route_41_in_Georgia) and [SR 3](/source/Georgia_State_Route_3) began a concurrency with SR 2 within Dalton. The center part of the Blue Ridge–Blairsville segment had a sand clay or top soil surface. The eastern part of this segment was under construction. The entire Blairsville–Hiawassee segment was completed.[12][13] The next year, the part of the highway just north-northeast of Villanow was indicated as "completed grading, no surface course". The rest of the Villanow–Dalton segment was under construction. The western part of the Dalton–Chatsworth segment had a completed semi hard surface. The entire Chatsworth–Ellijay segment was also under construction. The western half of the Ellijay–Blue Ridge segment had a sand clay or top soil surface, with the rest of this segment completed.[13][14] By August 1932, the eastern part of the Blue Ridge–Blairsville segment had a completed semi hard surface. The entire Hiawassee–Clayton segment had a sand clay or top soil surface. Also the Clayton–South Carolina segment was built, and was signed as SR 2.[15][16] By the end of 1933, the entire Dalton–Chatsworth segment was completed.[17][18] In the third quarter of 1934, SR 2 was extended west-northwest to [Davis Crossroads](/source/Davis_Crossroads%2C_Georgia). The entire LaFayette–Dalton segment has a completed semi hard surface.[19][20] By the end of the year, [US 76](/source/U.S._Route_76_in_Georgia) was designated along SR 2 from Chatsworth to Clayton. It was unclear if the Clayton–South Carolina segment was part of US 76 at this time, though.[20][21] By October 1937, the entire [Union County](/source/Union_County%2C_Georgia) section of the Blue Ridge–Blairsville segment was completed.[22][23] Before the year ended, SR 2 was extended slightly farther to the northwest from its western terminus.[23][24] Late in 1938, the entire part northwest of LaFayette and the entire Chatsworth–Ellijay segment was "completed grading, not surfaced". By the middle of 1939, the highway was extended northwest just a little more, to an intersection with [SR 157](/source/Georgia_State_Route_157) near [Ascalon](/source/Ascalon%2C_Georgia).[25][26] By the end of 1939, the roadway was extended northwest to [Trenton](/source/Trenton%2C_Georgia), but it was unclear whether it was part of SR 2.[27][28]

### 1940s

State Route 148 Location Fort Oglethorpe–Ringgold Existed 1939[25][26]–1949[29][30]

By April 1940, the entire Trenton area segment was completed grading, not surfaced. The entire Ellijay–Blue Ridge segment, as well as nearly all of the [Rabun County](/source/Rabun_County%2C_Georgia) part of the Hiawassee–Clayton segment, was completed.[28][31] Parts of the roadway on either side of the SR 157 intersection, the entire [Whitfield County](/source/Whitfield_County%2C_Georgia) section of the LaFayette–Dalton segment, the entire Blue Ridge–Blairsville segment, and nearly the entire Rabun County section of the Hiawassee–Clayton segment, were completed.[31][32] By 1941 started, SR 157 was shifted farther to the east, with the former alignment being redesignated as [SR 170](/source/Georgia_State_Route_170). From just northwest of this intersection southeast to the new intersection with SR 157.[32][33] A little later in the year, SR 2 was completed slightly to the southeast of the SR 157 intersection.[33][34] By the end of 1946, US 76 was designated along the Clayton–South Carolina segment.[35][36] By April 1949, SR 2 was shifted to an entirely different alignment west of Blue Ridge. The entire segment from Trenton to Villanow was redesignated as [SR 143](/source/Georgia_State_Route_143), and the former State Route 148 (between Ringgold and Ft. Oglethorpe) was newly designated State Route 2[37][*[circular reference](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Verifiability#Wikipedia_and_sources_that_mirror_or_use_it)*]. This segment (From highway 41 north of Ringgold to highway 27 north of Fort Oglethorpe) was called Georgia 2 Alternate. To this day, some longtime local residents persist in calling this segment "2A", which can be confusing, this stems from the time the road was designated as Georgia 2 Alternate and was signed "2A". The entire Villanow–Dalton segment was redesignated as SR 201. SR 2's new western terminus was at [US 27](/source/U.S._Route_27_in_Georgia)/[SR 1](/source/Georgia_State_Route_1) in [Chickamauga Park](/source/Chickamauga_Park%2C_Georgia). It traveled through [Ringgold](/source/Ringgold%2C_Georgia) and intersected [SR 71](/source/Georgia_State_Route_71) in [Varnell](/source/Varnell%2C_Georgia). It went northeast to [US 411](/source/U.S._Route_411_in_Georgia)/[SR 61](/source/Georgia_State_Route_61) in [Cisco](/source/Cisco%2C_Georgia). It took a winding path through the [Chattahoochee National Forest](/source/Chattahoochee_National_Forest) and intersected SR 5 northwest of Blue Ridge. The two highways traveled concurrently into Blue Ridge, where it resumed its former alignment. The entire Chickamauga Park–Ringgold segment, and the SR 5 concurrency, was hard surfaced. From Ringgold to the Whitfield–[Murray](/source/Murray_County%2C_Georgia) county line, and from east of Cisco to northwest of Blue Ridge, the highway had a sand clay, top soil, or stabilized earth surface. From the Whitfield–Murray county line to east of Cisco, the highway was machine graded and maintained.[29][30]

### 1950s to 1980s

By the end of 1953, nearly all of the Ringgold–Varnell segment of SR 2 was hard surfaced.[38] By the middle of 1957, a short section northeast of Blue Ridge was paved.[39][40] By the middle of 1960, about half of the Varnell–Cisco segment was paved. Between 1963 and 1966, the entire section from [Higdon](https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Higdon,_Georgia&action=edit&redlink=1) to SR 5 was paved.[41][42] In 1970, the entire segment west of [Gregory](https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Gregory,_Georgia&action=edit&redlink=1) was paved.[43][44] By 1974, the segment between Cisco and Higdon was impassable due to rock slides.[45][46] In 1986, SR 2 was re-routed south-southwest along US 411/SR 61 from Cisco to Chatsworth, where it began a concurrency with US 76/[SR 52](/source/Georgia_State_Route_52). US 76/SR 2/SR 52 traveled to the east and southeast into Ellijay, where SR 52 departed the concurrency. US 76/SR 2 turned left onto SR 5. They entered Blue Ridge. Here, SR 5 departed the concurrency, and US 76/SR 2 headed east as previously.[47][48] In 1989, [SR 515](/source/Georgia_State_Route_515) was designated along US 76/SR 2 as it travels today.[49][50]

On March 25, 1958, the bridge over the [Cartecay River](/source/Cartecay_River) at the [city limits](/source/City_limit) of East Ellijay was designated the A. Charles Soule Bridge.[51]
