Route description

US 76 begins at an intersection with US 41/US 72/SR 17 (Broad Street) in downtown Chattanooga. It goes east, concurrent with US 41/SR 17 (as Main Street) through some industrial areas, where SR 8 (Market Street) joins the concurrency, before entering suburbs and coming to an intersection with South Willow Street, where SR 17 splits off and goes north. US 41/US 76/SR 8 then comes to an intersection with US 11/US 64/SR 2 (Dodds Avenue), where they turn south to become concurrent with those three highways for a short distance before US 11/US 64/SR 2 turn east onto East 23rd Avenue while US 41/US 76/SR 8 turn southeast onto Westside Drive and have an interchange with I-24 (Exit 181A). They then turn east again pass through the Bachman Tubes, leaving Chattanooga and entering the City of East Ridge. They travel through the city and then have an interchange with I-75 (Exit 1 southbound; 1 A/B northbound) before entering Georgia, where SR 8 ends and US 41/US 76 become concurrent with Georgia State Route 3, which begins here.
