One of my husband’s doctors is down there at Memorial Hospital. I watch the GPS about the split and if there is a wreck, I get off and go down Brainerd Rd. through the tunnels.
I lived down there with my grandparents for a while and can navigate it pretty well, but I think they have been doing construction for the last 30 years, at least.
I’m 51 miles from Chattanooga and 66 miles from Knoxville. I can get through Knoxville faster than I can Chattanooga.
Cleveland is getting bad too. There are more people moving to Cleveland for the jobs than roads to handle the traffic. I’m glad I retired and don’t have to drive to Cleveland and back daily.
My son-in-law works in Ooltewah at Miller Industries but at least he doesn’t have to go all the way into Chattanooga.
FWIW - Last Halloween I saw the scariest thing I have ever seen in Walmart. (And that says a LOT.) It was a pack of pumpkin spice moon pies.
