I24 and I59 at TN/GA line traffic
When heading East on I24 to catch 75S to Florida I always get caught in a traffic jam at the I59 junction. Is there a timely route around this mess? Is 41 an option? I travel in a 30' Class C.

There are 2 things to think about. US-41 is just north of I-24 at exits 158 & 161, from there to exit 174 is doable with any RV. I pulled it today, because of back ups on I-24. East of I-24 into Chattanooga are 2 low RR underpasses. Your C may fit, there is no way our 5'ver will. Now US-41 is 2-lane pre interstate era road, and at the west end is very uneven. Issues with the roadway sinking & sliding down hill. So if you know that there is a problem before exit 174, it works. The other that may work for you is going down I-59 to exit 11 and GA-136. GA-136 will cross I-75 at exit 320. The bad news is you will go over Lookout Mountain. About 50 miles of 2 lane state highway, 61 from I-24. All of our friends from Atlanta go through Chattanooga going to Cloudland Canyon SP, which is on Lookout Mountain above Trenton GA. Spend a few days at what I think is one of Georgia's nicer state parks and this route could work for you.
