Concern over the safety of Ga. 365, the four-laner from Gainesville to the South Carolina line via Toccoa, can be traced well back into the 1970s before it was even built. Accidents on the section mostly between Gainesville and Lula in recent months recollected a controversy over the road design. Some background: The road might never have been built had Interstate 85 followed its original route, which would have swung it closer to Gainesville, Cornelia and Toccoa.
Warnings over Ga. 365 date back to 70s
