Georgia State Route 9
State Route 9 (SR 9) is a north–south highway running from Atlanta to just north of Dahlonega, in the US state of Georgia. It is concurrent with U.S. Route 19 (US 19) from along 14th Street, in northwest Atlanta, to Roswell Road at Interstate 285 (I-285), in Sandy Springs. It is also concurrent with US 19 from Dahlonega to its northern terminus at US 129.
SR 9 parallels US 19/SR 400 for much its length. Because of its proximity to US 19/SR 400, it is a viable alternate to the congested "Alpharetta Autobahn." Along its route, the state road travels through the cities of Atlanta, Sandy Springs, Roswell, Alpharetta, Cumming, Dawsonville, and Dahlonega.
