Interstate 275 (I-275) is an interstate highway in Tennessee that serves Knoxville by connecting the downtown with I-75 and I-640. Measuring 2.98 [http://www.interstate-guide.com/i-275_tn.html] miles in length, the northern terminus is the junction with I-75 and I-640 and the southern terminus is I-40.
Originally constructed in 1958 as I-75, this was renumbered as I-275 in early 1982. [cite news

In 2007, the existing cloverleaf exits (1A/B, 1C/D, 2A/B) were replaced with traditional diamond interchanges to add a continuous third lane in each direction. This was done to handle increased traffic flow for the shutdown of Interstate 40 in downtown Knoxville that took place on May 1, 2008 . [ [http://www.tdot.state.tn.us/i275/ I-275/I-640 Improvements (TDOT)] ] I-275 is the designated detour route for I-75 North traffic during the I-40 shutdown to avoid traffic cogestion at the I-640/I-75/I-275 junction as the ramp for I-75 Northbound from I-640 Eastbound is only one lane.
Exit list
The entire route is in Knoxville, Knox County.
