Interstate 75
Encyclopedia
Interstate 75 is a major north–south Interstate Highway in the Great Lakes
and Southeastern
regions of the United States
. It travels from State Road 826
(Palmetto Expressway) and State Road 924
(Gratigny Parkway) in Hialeah, Florida
(northwest of Miami
) to Sault Ste. Marie, Michigan
, at the Ontario
, Canada
, border. Interstate 75 passes through six different states: Florida
, Georgia
, Tennessee
, Kentucky
, Ohio
and Michigan
.
Due to traffic levels on the Interstate, much of the route is six lanes even in rural areas. The longest continuous segment of six-lane (or more) Interstate is along I-75 from the Florida's Turnpike
junction in Wildwood, Florida
to I-24 in the Chattanooga area, using I-475 to bypass Macon, Georgia
.

and an interchange with Interstate 595
and the Sawgrass Expressway
, the interstate leaves the Miami metropolitan area and turns westward to travel through the Everglades
along the tolled Alligator Alley
, which brings the highway to the Gulf Coast and Naples
, where it again heads north. Passing through Bonita Springs
, Fort Myers, and Sarasota, Interstate 75 encounters a series of construction projects that will increase the lane count from two lanes in each direction to three in each direction. The freeway enters the Tampa Bay
metropolitan area before the interchange with Interstate 275
northbound, which handles St. Petersburg-bound traffic. Within the Tampa metro are three more major junctions: One with the Lee Roy Selmon Expressway which carries traffic into downtown Tampa; one with Interstate 4
which carries traffic across the center of the state to the East Coast; and another as Interstate 275 traffic defaults back onto northbound. The freeway proceeds to enter suburban portions of Pasco, Hernando, and Sumter counties on its way to Ocala and Gainesville
. At Lake City, Florida
, the Christopher Columbus Transcontinental Highway, Interstate 10
, intersects with Interstate 75, providing routes toward Jacksonville, Florida
; Tallahassee; Mobile, Alabama
; New Orleans, Louisiana
; and points westward. Afterward, the northmost stetch of Interstate 75 in Florida exits the Sunshine State into southern Georgia
.
near Lake Park
, and it continues northward through the towns of Valdosta, Tifton and Cordele until it reaches the Macon
area, where it intersects with Interstate 16
eastbound towards Savannah
. For northbound traffic wishing to avoid potential congestion in Macon, Interstate 475
provides a relatively straight bypass west of that city and Interstate 75's route. After Macon it passes the small town of Forsyth. The freeway reaches no major junctions again until in the Atlanta metropolitan area. The first metropolitan freeway met is Interstate 675
, then followed by the Atlanta "Perimeter" bypass, Interstate 285
. It crosses inside the Perimeter and heads north several miles towards the Atlanta city center. Interstate 75 is then duplexed with Interstate 85
due north over the Downtown Connector
through the central business district of Atlanta. After the two Interstates split, Interstate 75 makes a beeline northwest, crossing outside the Interstate 285 Perimeter and heading towards the major suburban city of Marietta
. This section of Interstate 75 just north of Interstate 285 has 15 through lanes, making it the widest roadway anywhere in the Interstate Highway System. North of Marietta, the final major junction in the Atlanta metropolitan area is the Interstate 575
spur. Interstate 75 then traverses the hilly northwestern Georgia terrain as it travels towards Chattanooga, Tennessee
.
directly in the Chattanooga metropolitan area, where it intersects with Interstate 24
. Exiting Chattanooga to the northeast, Interstate 75 passes through an area known for dense fog. Twelve people were killed and 42 were injured in a 99 vehicle accident on that stretch of I-75 in heavy fog on December 11, 1990. Interstate 75 does not meet any other highways until it is multiplexed with Interstate 40
and heads eastbound. Together, they enter the outskirts of Knoxville, where Interstate 75 multiplexes itself with a different road, this time Interstate 640
, but only for a short time. When the two meet Interstate 275
, Interstate 75 becomes its own freeway and heads north towards the Kentucky
border. On the journey northward from Knoxville to the Kentucky
border, interstate 75 encounters some of its highest points of elevation through the Cumberland Mountains
and Cumberland Plateau
region, cutting through the uppermost peaks and ridges of the mountains.
region of Kentucky
passing through London
and Richmond
, eventually reaching Lexington
, where it briefly runs coterminously with Interstate 64
before splitting off for Cincinnati, Ohio
. Near Walton, Interstate 71
merges with Interstate 75, making for yet another multiplexed portion of freeway. Interstate 275
, which is the Cincinnati beltway, is then intersected by Interstate 71/75. After passing through Covington
, the freeway crosses the Ohio River
via the lower level of the Brent Spence Bridge
and continues into Cincinnati.
separates from Interstate 75, taking a more easterly routing through the city, while Interstate 75 remains generally northbound throughout the metropolitan area. Interstate 74
westbound, Ohio State Route 562 eastbound, and Ohio State Route 126 all intersect the freeway as it makes its way northward. In Arlington Heights, a suburb of Cincinnati, Interstate 75 sees a carriageway split for a few miles. After another interchange with the Interstate 275
beltway, the freeway continues in the metropolitan area, passes through Middletown
and heads towards Dayton
, where Interstate 675
, Interstate 70
, and U.S. Route 35, have interchanges. The intersection of Interstate 75 with Interstate 70 is known as the Freedom Veterans Crossroads. After exiting the city of Dayton, Interstate 75 makes its way northbound through Ohio, passing through the smaller cities of Wapakoneta
, Lima
, Findlay
and Bowling Green
before finally reaching Toledo
, located on the Michigan
border. Interstate 475
is met first south of the city, and then the cross-country highways of Interstate 80
/Interstate 90
/Ohio Turnpike
. Interstate 475 then meets with 75 again. Interstate 280
is the last major junction in Ohio; the freeway crosses into Michigan soon afterwards.
upon entering Michigan—until about Monroe
, when it heads north eastward and prepares to enter Detroit and its surrounding suburb
s. Yet another I-275
is met as the freeway goes deeper into the Detroit metropolitan area, and no other major junctions are present until downtown. Once downtown, Interstate 75 meets the Ambassador Bridge
to Windsor, Ontario
, Interstate 375
(Chrysler Freeway), I-94
, I-96
, M-10
and M-8
(Davison Freeway). I-696
also intersects I-75 in the northern metro area. There is a junction with Big Beaver Road at exit 69, easily one of the more memorable exits on the Interstate system. http://www.getoffonbigbeaver.com/ When the freeway reaches Pontiac
, there is a junction with M-59
; and further north in Flint
, the interstate meets I-475
and I-69
. The freeway then heads north towards Saginaw
, where I-675
acts as a spur route into the city. Further north in Bay City
, the major junction of US 10
exists, providing access to Midland
as well as downtown Bay City. The last major interchange occurs at 4 Mile Road just south of Grayling where US 127
northbound ends with traffic merging onto northbound I-75 and the southbound starts taking drivers through the center of the state granting easier access to cities such as Clare, Mt. Pleasant, Lansing, and Jackson. At Mackinaw City
, I-75 crosses the Mackinac Bridge
to reach the Upper Peninsula. It is the only Interstate located in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan, and it continues to where the road terminates at the Canadian border in Sault Ste. Marie
.
On the Canadian side, drivers must use a series of city streets in Sault Ste. Marie, Ontario
to reach Highway 17
, the local route of the Trans-Canada Highway
.
, U.S. Route 27
, U.S. Route 25
, and U.S. Route 41
, among others. Some of these older U.S. Routes (several of which are still in existence) previously had replaced the eastern route of the old Dixie Highway
.
Interstate 75 was planned to end in Tampa, Florida
, in the original plan for 41,000 miles of interstate highways. However, beginning in the 1960s, there was a huge growth in the population of southwestern Florida (Sarasota, Ft. Myers, Naples, Cape Coral, etc.), hence the need for new highways, especially a north-south expressway, as well as one connecting Florida's Gulf Coast to South Florida. At first, Florida state legislators proposed a toll in the new highway, but by 1968, it was decided that the Federal Government would pay 90% towards the extension of I-75 to southwestern and southeastern Florida. This included subsuming a privately-owned toll highway from Naples to the Fort Lauderdale area, the Alligator Alley
, and furthermore to connect this expressway with Interstate 95 in North Miami -- though due to some local opposition, I-75 presently ends a few miles short of I-95.
On December 21, 1977, I-75 was completed from Tampa to Sault Ste. Marie with its final segment opening between northern Marietta, Georgia
, and Cartersville, Georgia
. Then the final stretch of Interstate 75 in South Florida was completed in 1986 in Miami-Dade County and Broward County, but the last stretch to receive the signs for I - 75 was the reconstructed (rebuilt and widened) Alligator Alley
on November 25, 1992.
