Norris Freeway

Map of Norris Freeway - scenic route

The Norris Freeway, located in eastern Tennessee, is steeped in American innovation history. The byway crosses over the Norris Dam, which was built to control the flooding in the Clinch and Powell River Watershed. The completion of the byway represented an innovation triumph as a number of issues had to be addressed: the absence of electrical service in rural areas, erosion, and landscape restoration, and a modern road leading to Knoxville, the headquarters of the Authority and a supply center for dam building materials.
