State Route 74 (SR 74) is a north–south state highway located primarily in Bradley County, Tennessee. It runs from the Georgia state line and runs to Cleveland. The route serves as a major shortcut, along with SR 60, for Cleveland citizens to commute to Atlanta, Georgia.
SR 74 begins at the Tennessee–Georgia state line and runs along the Bradley–Polk county line as Spring Place Road, continuing into Murray County as Georgia State Route 225. The route takes its name from Spring Place, an unincorporated community in Murray County on GA 225. The route immediately crosses the Conasauga River Basin and the Conasauga River, then veers to the northeast approximately one-half mile (800 m) later, completely into Bradley County. The route travels for approximately eight miles (13 km), passing through primarily farmland and woodland, crossing several ridges and valleys. The route then comes to an intersection with SR 313, which continues southeast to Oldfort, and enters the community of Wildwood Lake. The route continues for another 2.75 miles (4.43 km) and comes to an interchange with APD-40 (US-64 Bypass/US 74/SR 311), and enters the city limits of Cleveland. The route continues for approximately one mile (1.6 km) through East Cleveland, and comes to an intersection with SR 60 (Dalton Pike), and the route turns right, continuing north as Wildwood Avenue. Approximately 1.25 miles (2.01 km) later the route comes to an intersection with U.S. Route 64 in Tennessee (US 64)). Most maps show the route as ending here, but the Tennessee Department of Transportation (TDOT) lists the route as continuing along concurrently with US 11 (Ocoee Street) through downtown Cleveland up to its split with the US 11 Bypass (Keith Street) in northern Cleveland.
