Near exit 14 of SR 400, SR 9 starts to overlap with SR 20, until they split again in downtown Cumming.

From here, SR 9 is signed as Dahlonega Highway, and overlaps with SR 306 to Keith Bridge Road. It continues to run north on its own through Dawsonville, and then runs concurrent with SR 52 from their intersection to just north of Dahlonega. From here, it is again concurrent with US 19/SR 60, until SR 60 splits off near Porter Springs. SR 9 continues alongside US 19 until its terminus at the intersection with US 129 at Turners Corner.
