State Route 60 (25th Street) Intersection at State Route 74 (Ocoee Street)
Bradley County
The Tennessee Department of Transportation (TDOT) is proposing to improve the intersection of State Route 60 (25th Street) and State Route 74 (Ocoee Street) in Cleveland, TN. This intersection collects traffic traveling to and from Interstate 75 as well as local commuter traffic. There are also several schools in the area including a local college (Lee University). The current intersection is unable to handle traffic demand as evidenced by long queue lengths and increased travel times during peak demand.
The proposed improvements include widening along each leg of the intersection by adding turning lanes and additional through lanes.
