Getting To The Walton Road Scenic Byway

The byway route generally follows US Route 70 and 70N and parallels Interstate 40 with over a dozen connecting routes. The following directions to the Byway will guide visitors from Nashville and points west; Chattanooga and points south; and Knoxville and points east.
From Nashville and Points West
Take I-40 east toward Gordonsville, and then take TN-53/TN-25/Gordonsville Hwy toward Carthage. Continue onto the Byway into Carthage via US-70N/TN-24/Cookeville Hwy or continue on TN-25/Gordonsville Hwy, turning left onto Upper Ferry Road to enter Carthage.
From Chattanooga and Points South
Take US-27/TN-29 toward Dayton, and continue on US-27/TN-29 through Spring City until it meets the Byway at the intersection with US-70 Scenic/TN-1 at Rockwood. Alternatively, take US-27/TN-29 toward Soddy-Daisy—accessing TN-111 just north of Soddy-Daisy. Take TN-111 to US-127/TN-28/TN toward Crossville, which will eventually become S Main Street and intersects with the Byway at US-70/TN-1/TN-101.
From Knoxville and Points East
Take IS-40/IS-75 toward Farragut, and then continue onto IS-40 toward Kingston. To get to the Byway route, take the exit to TN-58/North Kentucky Street, and turn right onto US-70/TN-1/W Race Street.
