ypsi-slim Posted July 7, 2010 Report Share Posted July 7, 2010 A new Federal Byway has been approved in Tennessee, to be called the East Tennessee Crossing. This will follow US 25E which includes the Dixie Highway. You can read more about it here at the Claiborne Progress on-line: My link, and here: My link At the National Scenic Byway Program site: My link and at the Byway site: My link ypsi-slim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mobilene Posted July 7, 2010 Report Share Posted July 7, 2010 Very nice! I'm thinking of a TN vacation next year -- this might be how I do it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DennyG Posted July 7, 2010 Report Share Posted July 7, 2010 Appears to be a good byway with some nice stuff, like the Cumberland Gap, on it. The National Scenic Byways description contains the interesting phrase "the Dixie Highway of the Civil War period". I'm not quite sure what that means. It looks like the byway contains about 20 miles (from near Newport to the state line) of the Dixie Highway we all know and love. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
