U.S. Route 76 (US 76) is an east–west U.S. highway in the U.S. state of Tennessee. Its route is almost entirely in Chattanooga.
Route description
US 76 begins at an intersection with US 41/US 72/SR 8/SR 2 (Broad Street) in downtown Chattanooga. It goes east, concurrent with US 41/SR 8/SR 17 (as Main Street) through some industrial areas before entering suburbs and coming to an intersection with South Willow Street, where SR 17 splits off and goes north. US 41/US 76/SR 8 then comes to an intersection with US 11/US 64/SR 2 (Dodds Avenue), where they turn south to become concurrent with that for a short distance before US 11/US 64/SR turn east onto East 23rd Avenue while US 41/US 76/SR 8 turn southeast onto Westside Drive and have an interchange with I-24 (Exit 181A). They then turn east again pass through the Bachman Tubes, leaving Chattanooga and entering the City of East Ridge. They pass through the city and then have an interchange with I-75 (Exit 1 southbound; 1 A/B northbound) before crossing into Georgia, where SR 8 ends and US 41/US 76 become concurrent with Georgia State Route 3, which begins here. The entire route of US 76 in Tennessee is in Hamilton County and is concurrent with US 41 and SR 8.
