  • Best Route to ETLC from Raleigh NC

    Posted by George on September 14, 2021 at 1:22 pm

    Going to ETLC and wonder what route would be better leaving east of Raleigh NC.

    Better for avoiding steep hills and general road conditions.

    Use I-40 West to Knoxville, I drive it often and no problems, just note the truck max speed on the curves. They seem sharper going west for some reason. From your starting point I would not even consider an alternate route to Knoxville.

    I take US-129 to Maryville and the US-411, Jeff is on 411. Depending on time of day expect some traffic in Knoxville and Maryville but it’s not bad.

    Alternatively stay on I-40 and take I-75 South, then Tn-72 to US-411 East to Jeff’s.

    I have never been the later route but it’s the way most go.

    Looking at Google seems the alternate route is extremely curvy if it is 74 not I-75

    which doesn’t lead to ETLC

    Anyone used this route

    option other than going 129 to 411 is to 75 s to exit 72 which is Hwy72 which runs to 411..
