State Route 475 is a proposed highway in Knox County and Anderson County, Tennessee. The proposed route will allow through traffic on Interstate 75 to bypass the city of Knoxville. It will begin at the Interstate 40/Interstate 75 split through the communities of Solway and Bull Run, then join I-75 again northwest of Heiskell[1].

[edit] Route description

SR 475 is proposed as a four-lane divided highway with full access control and a 70MPH design speed. Upon completion, this route is expected to be added into the National Highway System and will also be designated as a Tennessee Scenic Parkway or State Scenic Highway.[2]. This route is also being studied by TDOT as a potential toll corridor and may be extended to Interstate 40 near mile marker 407[2].
