Route Information, History and Termini Gallery

Located between Gainesville and Homer, GA 323 serves as a rural highway through the town of Gillsville (Pop. 113). While the eastern end has high traffic volumes due to the proximity to Gainesville and growth in the county, the majority of the road is a rural highway with relatively low volumes.

15-mile GA 323 is located in Hall and Banks County. The route is known as Gillsville Highway in Hall County and is unnamed in Banks County. The Hall County portion is joined to the Banks County portion by an approximately one mile overlap with GA 52 in Gillsville.

History

GA 323 was originally commissioned in 1960 on the Gillsville Highway portion from U.S. 129 to GA 52. Shortly after in 1961, the highway was extended east of Gillsville following part of GA 52 to end at GA 51. When first commissioned, the highway was fully paved. No major changes have occured along GA 323 since then.

Western Terminus: US 129/GA 11 five miles southeast of Gainesville
The first two photos are some of GDOT's favorite overhead route signage looking north on U.S. 129 towards Gainesville. The third photo is the first eastbound reassurance shield. Note the GDOT complex on the right. The last photo is the junction assembly on U.S. 129 northbound preceding the first two photos. End signage does exist, but it was too difficult to get a picture of.
