State Route 2 is a west-east route in the northern part of Georgia. The route serves suburbs of Chattanooga, Tennessee, as well as much of the mountainous area in the northern part of the state.

Routing

From its western terminus at S.R. 193 in the community of Flintstone, the route runs east along Battlefield Parkway, briefly overlapping with U.S. 27/S.R. 1, then intersecting Interstate 75, before reaching U.S. 41/U.S. 76/S.R. 3. After a brief concurrency with U.S. 41/U.S. 76/S.R. 3 through Ringgold, the route splits and continues east. After crossing the Conasauga River, the route briefly overlaps S.R. 225 north, then continues a short distance east to U.S. 411/S.R. 61 at the community of Cisco. S.R. 2 south overlaps U.S. 411/S.R. 61 to Chatsworth. In Chatsworth, S.R. 2 east overlaps S.R. 52 east past Fort Mountain to Ellijay. In Ellijay, the route begins a concurrency with U.S. 76 to the South Carolina state line. U.S. 76/S.R. 2, as well as S.R. 5 and S.R. 515, travel to the northeast to Blue Ridge. In Blue Ridge, S.R. 5 departs to the north, while U.S. 76/S.R. 2/S.R. 515 continue east to Blairsville. East of Blairsville, the route arcs to the north, then east, around Brasstown Bald. West of Hiawassee, S.R. 515 departs to the north, and U.S. 76/S.R. 2 are joined by S.R. 17, then S.R. 75 in Hiawassee. East of Hiawassee, S.R. 17 and S.R. 75 depart to the south, and U.S. 76 continues east through a series of switchbacks over the Eastern Continental Divide to Clayton. After a brief concurrency in Clayton with U.S. 23/U.S. 441/S.R. 15, U.S. 76/S.R. 2 continue southeast to the South Carolina state line.

History

State Route 2 had originally been planned to follow a winding route through the Cohutta mountains between Cisco and Blue Ridge. Due to the ruggedness of the terrain, coupled with landslides on one section of the route, S.R. 2 was rerouted to overlap S.R. 52 over Fort Mountain. A section of State Route 2 from Fort Oglethorpe east to U.S. 41 is named the Baxter Shavers Memorial Highway after a deputy sheriff that was killed on this highway back on April 14, 1978.
