Interstate 475 - Definition and Overview

Interstate 475 is the name of three distinct interstate highway bypass routes of Interstate 75 in the United States: in Georgia, Ohio, and Michigan.

There is also a proposal to build an I-475 in Knoxville. The project was approved by the Tennessee Department of Transportation in 2003, but it may be years before construction begins.

Georgia

The 15.83 mile Interstate 475 (also designated as Georgia State Route 408) in Georgia begins at Interstate 75 and bypasses Macon, Georgia. This is the preferred route to I-75, as the parent interstate enters downtown Macon and reduces to four lanes (two in either direction), and has a 55 MPH (88km/h) speed limit.
