Sgt. Paul B. Huff Parkway, more commonly referred to as Paul Huff Parkway or simply Paul Huff is a major east–west thoroughfare which runs through northern Cleveland, Tennessee. While not a numbered highway, it serves as a connector between U.S. Route 11 (US 11) and State Route 60 (SR 60) as well as to Interstate 75 (I-75), and has come to be one of the most heavily traveled and widely used roads in the city, with many corporate and private businesses locating to it.[2] The road is named in honor of Paul B. Huff, a Cleveland-born recipient of the Medal of Honor for his actions in World War II.
Route description
Paul Huff Parkway begins at an intersection with SR 60 (Georgetown Road) in the northwestern part of the city. It then immediately crosses Candies Creek Ridge as an undivided four-lane road. After crossing the ridge it comes to an intersection with Frontage Road/Adkisson Drive, where a center (turn) lane begins. Adkisson connects to Cleveland State Community College. About 0.2 miles (0.32 km) later the road comes to an interchange with I-75. Afterwards the road enters a large corporate and business area coming to an intersection with Peerless Road, and then Mouse Creek Road approximately 0.25 miles (0.40 km) later, an alternate route to Charleston. The road then passes by E.L. Ross Elementary School and a shopping center on the opposite side of the road, coming to an intersection with Freedom Parkway approximately 0.1 miles (0.16 km) later. The road then passes a fire and ambulance station and crosses South Mouse Creek and the Cleveland/Bradley County Greenway. Ascending to the top of a minor ridge the road comes to an intersection with an untitled connector road to the Bradley Square Mall and Hickory Grove Shopping Center and Walmart on the opposite side of the road. Approximately 0.25 miles (0.40 km) later the road comes to an intersection with US 11/SR 2.[1][3]
