Tennessee Highways

Many important Interstate highways run from Tennessee and links the state of Tennessee to other states of the United States. There are a number of important Tennessee highways that serve the state of Tennessee. Some of the most important Tennessee highways are as follows:

  • US Route11: This important highway enters Tennessee from the western side of Chattanooga. This route is concurrent with another important Interstate route no 38. US 11 follows the eastern highway to downtown Chattanooga. US 11 also passes through broad Street and East 23rd Street. There are many important places by which this route actually passes. In the eastern part of Knoxville, US 11 divides into two parts, US 11E and US 11W. However, both the ways take a northeasterly turn after their formation. Thus, US 11 can be considered as a north bound Interstate highway. US 11W travels through Kingsport while US 11E connects some of the most important city like Johnson City, Greeneville and Morristown. These two sub-routes of US 11 actually metes at Bristol.


  • US Route19: Till 2004, US 19 was divided into US 19E and US 19W in Bluff City in the state if Tennessee. These two separate highways actually meet at the rural town of Yancey County in North Carolina. US 19W heads to meet Interstate 26 in Johnson city in Tennessee. On the other hand, the way of US 19E has a long course of about 70 mile through the beautiful Great Smoky Mountains. These highways are of great benefit for the people here.



    Most of the major counties in Tennessee highway US routes are:

    • US Route19E crosses through Carter county in Tennessee.
    • US Route 11E crosses through Johnson county in Tennessee.
    • US Route 25 can be seen in Cocke county and there is also US Route 70 near Newport in Cocke county.
