Route description
editSR 382 begins at an intersection with SR 136 southeast of Carters Lake. It travels in a northeasterly direction and curves to the east. It passes north and east of Gilmer County Airport. A short distance later, it meets its eastern terminus, an intersection with SR 5/SR 515.[1]
SR 382 is not part of the National Highway System, a system of roadways important to the nation's economy, defense, and mobility.[4]
History
editThe road that would eventually become SR 382 was established between January 1979 and March 1980. However, the route's eastern terminus was farther to the north-northeast than it is now. At this time, its eastern terminus intersected only SR 5, since SR 515 had not been routed along SR 5.[5][2] By January 1982, that entire route was designated SR 382.[2][3] In 1983, SR 5 was moved to a new alignment farther to the east, and the old route became SR 5 Alternate. As such, SR 382 was routed on a concurrency with SR 5 Alt. to its current eastern terminus, the intersection with SR 5.[6][7] By January 1986, SR 5 Alternate had been decommissioned.[7][8]
Major intersections
editThe entire route is in Gilmer County.
