State Road 826 begins at an interchange with US1 in Pinecrest, just south of the Dadeland Mall, the first interchange, less than a mile north of US1, is with Kendall Drive, which provides access to the mall. SR826 continues north, crossing under the Snapper Creek Expressway without an interchange before meeting Sunset Drive at a diamond interchange and it then leaves Kendall, continuing into Glenvar Heights with an interchange with Southwest 56th Street/Miller Drive, which provides access to the University of Miami. About half a mile later, the Don Shula Expressway merges with the Palmetto Expressway at its terminus, with a southbound exit. Between this interchange and the next, SR826 forms the border between Glenvar Heights and Olympia Heights, past it, the marks the boundary between Westchester and Coral Terrace. After an exit with Southwest 24th Street/Coral Way, the expressway meets the Tamiami Trail and this interchange also marks the Tamiami Trails entrance into incorporated Miami, the boundary of which lies on the eastern side of the expressway. The freeway then has an interchange with the Dolphin Expressway just south of Doral and this interchange is currently being improved due to the current configuration causing severe congestion. It then enters Hialeah proper just after an interchange with Northwest 103rd Street, an exit with Northwest 122nd Street then follows. At the boundary between Hialeah and Miami Lakes, SR826 reaches an interchange with the southern terminus of Interstate 75. The Palmetto Expressway goes into Miami Lakes, interchanges with Northwest 154 Street, the road then proceeds straight east, forming the boundary between Miami Lakes and Country Club, soon interchanging with Northwest 67th Avenue. The expressway then passes to the north of Florida Memorial University before the Northwest 37th Avenue exit, still in Miami Gardens, SR826 then has exits with Northwest 27th Avenue, Northwest 17th Avenue and Northwest 12th Avenue before reaching the Golden Glades Interchange. SR826 takes a path through the Golden Glades Interchange. Traffic moving from eastbound SR826 to the northbound Turnpike must pass through an unsignalised intersection here. It then passes over Interstate 95 proper, which lies between the southbound and northbound carriageways of US441, as it swings back to the northeast and then to the east once more. SR826 resumes its east-west orientation once more at a intersection with Northwest 2nd Avenue. State Road 826 heads east from the Golden Glades Interchange as Northwest 167th Street, through here, the road is also known as North Miami Beach Boulevard, lined with shops, offices, hotels and other commercial services.

Interstate 4 is a 132. 298-mile-long Interstate Highway in the U. S. state of Florida, along a southwest–northeast axis from I-275 in Tampa to I-95 at Daytona Beach. The entirety of I-4 overlaps nearly the entirety of State Road 400, the first segment of I-4 opened to traffic in 1959 and the highway was largely completed in 1967. The median of I-4 between Tampa and Orlando was the route of a high-speed rail line between these cities, which was cancelled in 2011. The I-4 corridor is a region in politics, due to the large number of undecided voters in a large swing state. I-4 maintains a diagonal, northeast–southwest route for much of its length, the 132-mile-long highways western terminus is with an interchange with Interstate 275—known as Malfunction Junction— near downtown Tampa and is the starting point for mile markers and exit numbers. Just east of Malfunction Junction, I-4 passes along the side of Tampas Ybor City district. I-4 continues east past the Florida State Fairgrounds towards an interchange with Interstate 75. After passing near the suburbs of Hillsborough County—including Brandon and Plant City—it enters Polk County. Just after the junction with the Polk Parkway, I-4 turns from an eastward to a northeastward heading. Between SR33 and US27, I-4 passes through the fog-prone Green Swamp, ten variable-message signs and dozens of cameras & vehicle detection systems monitor this stretch of mostly-rural highway as a result of several large, deadly pile-ups caused by dense fog. The single GreeneWay/World Drive exit also marks a change from rural to suburban/urban landscape. The highway passes beside Celebration and Kissimmee on the east side, for the next 40 miles, I-4 passes through the Orlando metropolitan area, where the highway forms the main north-south artery. Orlandos main tourist strip—International Drive—runs parallel and no more than 1.5 mi from I-4 between Kissimmee and Floridas Turnpike, between Michigan St. and Kaley Ave. I-4 changes to a north heading past downtown Orlando and its northern suburbs. A 21-mile section of I-4 from west of Kirkman Road to east of SR434 is currently undergoing a $2, after passing along the west side of Downtown Orlando, I-4 continues through the citys northern suburbs—including Winter Park, Maitland, Altamonte Springs, and Sanford. Around mile 91, I-4 enters Seminole County and soon shifts to a northeast heading. The Seminole Expressway, after passing around the east side of the Orlando metropolitan area, has its terminus at I-4 in Sanford. This intersection will also connect with the Wekiva Parkway, currently under construction, North of Sanford, I-4 is carried by the St. Johns River Veterans Memorial Bridge over the St. Johns River at the mouth of Lake Monroe. Along the bridge, I-4 enters Volusia County and passes Deltona & DeLand, the segment north of SR44 is being widened from four to six lanes

Atlanta is the capital of and the most populous city in the U. S. state of Georgia, with an estimated 2015 population of 463,878. Atlanta is the cultural and economic center of the Atlanta metropolitan area, home to 5,710,795 people, Atlanta is the county seat of Fulton County, and a small portion of the city extends eastward into DeKalb County. In 1837, Atlanta was founded at the intersection of two lines, and the city rose from the ashes of the American Civil War to become a national center of commerce. Atlantas economy is considered diverse, with dominant sectors that include logistics, professional and business services, media operations, Atlanta has topographic features that include rolling hills and dense tree coverage. Revitalization of Atlantas neighborhoods, initially spurred by the 1996 Olympics in Atlanta, has intensified in the 21st century, altering the demographics, politics. Prior to the arrival of European settlers in north Georgia, Creek Indians inhabited the area, standing Peachtree, a Creek village located where Peachtree Creek flows into the Chattahoochee River, was the closest Indian settlement to what is now Atlanta. As part of the removal of Native Americans from northern Georgia from 1802 to 1825, the Creek ceded the area in 1821. In 1836, the Georgia General Assembly voted to build the Western, the initial route was to run southward from Chattanooga to a terminus east of the Chattahoochee River, which would then be linked to Savannah. After engineers surveyed various possible locations for the terminus, the zero milepost was driven into the ground in what is now Five Points. A year later, the area around the milepost had developed into a settlement, first known as Terminus, and later as Thrasherville after a merchant who built homes. By 1842, the town had six buildings and 30 residents and was renamed Marthasville to honor the Governors daughter, later, J. Edgar Thomson, Chief Engineer of the Georgia Railroad, suggested the town be renamed Atlantica-Pacifica, which was shortened to Atlanta. The residents approved, and the town was incorporated as Atlanta on December 29,1847, by 1860, Atlantas population had grown to 9,554. During the American Civil War, the nexus of multiple railroads in Atlanta made the city a hub for the distribution of military supplies, in 1864, the Union Army moved southward following the capture of Chattanooga and began its invasion of north Georgia. On the next day, Mayor James Calhoun surrendered Atlanta to the Union Army, on November 11,1864, Sherman prepared for the Union Armys March to the Sea by ordering Atlanta to be burned to the ground, sparing only the citys churches and hospitals. After the Civil War ended in 1865, Atlanta was gradually rebuilt, due to the citys superior rail transportation network, the state capital was moved from Milledgeville to Atlanta in 1868. In the 1880 Census, Atlanta surpassed Savannah as Georgias largest city, by 1885, the founding of the Georgia School of Technology and the citys black colleges had established Atlanta as a center for higher education. In 1895, Atlanta hosted the Cotton States and International Exposition, during the first decades of the 20th century, Atlanta experienced a period of unprecedented growth. In three decades time, Atlantas population tripled as the city expanded to include nearby streetcar suburbs

Knoxville is the city of the Knoxville Metropolitan Statistical Area. The KMSA is, in turn, the component of the Knoxville-Sevierville-La Follette Combined Statistical Area. First settled in 1786, Knoxville was the first capital of Tennessee, the city struggled with geographic isolation throughout the early 19th century. The arrival of the railroad in 1855 led to an economic boom, during the Civil War, the city was bitterly divided over the secession issue, and was occupied alternately by both Confederate and Union armies. Following the war, Knoxville grew rapidly as a wholesaling and manufacturing center. The citys economy stagnated after the 1920s as the manufacturing sector collapsed, Knoxville is the home of the flagship campus of the University of Tennessee, whose sports teams, called the Volunteers or Vols, are extremely popular in the surrounding area. The first people to form settlements in what is now Knoxville arrived during the Woodland period. One of the oldest artificial structures in Knoxville is a burial mound constructed during the early Mississippian culture period, the earthwork mound is now surrounded by the University of Tennessee campus. By the 18th century, the Cherokee had become the dominant tribe in the East Tennessee region, although they were consistently at war with the Creek, the Cherokee people called the Knoxville area kuwandatalunyi, which means Mulberry Place. Most Cherokee habitation in the area was concentrated in the Overhill settlements along the Little Tennessee River, the first Euro-American traders and explorers were recorded as arriving in the Tennessee Valley in the late 17th century. There is significant evidence that Hernando de Soto visited Bussell Island in 1540, the end of the French and Indian War and confusion brought about by the American Revolution led to a drastic increase in Euro-American settlement west of the Appalachians. By the 1780s, Euro-American settlers were established in the Holston. The U. S. Congress ordered all illegal settlers out of the valley in 1785, as settlers continued to trickle into Cherokee lands, tensions between the settlers and the Cherokee rose steadily. In 1786, James White, a Revolutionary War officer, and his friend James Connor built Whites Fort near the mouth of First Creek, on land White had purchased three years earlier. In 1790, Whites son-in-law, Charles McClung—who had arrived from Pennsylvania the previous year—surveyed Whites holdings between First Creek and Second Creek for the establishment of a town, mcClung drew up 640. 5-acre lots.

Lexington ranks tenth among US cities in college education rate, with 39. 5% of residents having at least a bachelors degree and this area of fertile soil and abundant wildlife was long occupied by varying tribes of Native Americans. European explorers began to trade with them but settlers did not come in force until the late 18th century, Lexington was founded by European Americans in June 1775, in what was then considered Fincastle County, Virginia,17 years before Kentucky became a state. A party of frontiersmen, led by William McConnell, camped on the Middle Fork of Elkhorn Creek at the site of the present-day McConnell Springs, upon hearing of the colonists victory in the Battles of Lexington and Concord on April 19,1775, they named their campsite Lexington. It was the first of what would be many American places to be named after the Massachusetts town, the risk of Indian attacks delayed permanent settlement for four years. In 1779, during the American Revolutionary War, Col. Robert Patterson and 25 companions came from Fort Harrod and they built cabins and a stockade, establishing a settlement known as Bryan Station. In 1780, Lexington was made the seat of Virginias newly organized Fayette County, colonists defended it against a British and allied Shawnee attack in 1782, during the last part of the American Revolutionary War. The town was chartered on May 6,1782, by an act of the Virginia General Assembly, the First African Baptist Church was founded c. 1790 by Peter Durrett, a Baptist preacher and slave held by Joseph Craig.

The country around Lexington for many miles in every direction, is equal in beauty and fertility to anything the imagination can paint and is already in a state of cultivation. Residents have fondly continued to refer to Lexington as The Athens of the West since Espys poem dedicated to the city, in the early 19th century, planter John Wesley Hunt became the first millionaire west of the Alleghenies. London Ferrill, second preacher of First African Baptist, was one of three clergy who stayed in the city to serve the suffering victims, additional cholera outbreaks occurred in 1848–49 and the early 1850s. Cholera was spread by using contaminated water supplies, but its transmission was not understood in those years. Often the wealthier people would flee town for outlying areas to try to avoid the spread of disease, planters held slaves for use as field hands, laborers, artisans, and domestic servants. In the city, slaves worked primarily as servants and artisans, although they also worked with merchants, shippers

Interstate 71 is an Interstate Highway in the Great Lakes/Midwestern and Southeastern region of the United States. Its southern terminus is at an interchange with Interstate 64 and Interstate 65 in Louisville and its northern terminus is at an interchange with Interstate 90 in Cleveland, Ohio. I-71 runs concurrently with Interstate 75 from a point about twenty miles south of Cincinnati, almost three quarters of the route lies east of I-75, thereby putting it out of its proper place in the Interstate grid. While I-71 is designated a highway, it is a major east–west route for cross-country traffic. It links I-80 and I-90 to I-70, and ultimately links to I-40, in Kentucky, I-71 begins east of Downtown Louisville at the Kennedy Interchange, where it meets I-64 and I-65. This interchange is sometimes called the Spaghetti Junction, from Louisville, it roughly follows the Ohio River in a diagonal path toward Northern Kentucky. Between Louisville and Cincinnati, I-71 is largely a four-lane highway and it is one of the worst bus accidents in state and national history. I-71 merges with Interstate 75 near Walton and intersects Interstate 275, after passing through Covington, the freeway crosses the Ohio River via the lower level of the Brent Spence Bridge and continues into Cincinnati. In Cincinnati, I-71 splits immediately from I-75 and heads due east onto Fort Washington Way, just east of downtown, US-50 splits from I-71 and continues east, I-71 bends north and receives Interstate 471, a spur from southeast of the city. I-71 then heads in a general northeast direction through urban Cincinnati, after another interchange with the Interstate 275 beltway, the freeway leaves the metropolitan area and heads towards Columbus. It continues northeast until it reaches South Lebanon, Ohio, where it begins cutting east across the plains of southwest Ohio. The freeway crosses the Little Miami River on the Jeremiah Morrow Bridge, which is a truss bridge. I-71 heads towards Columbus then intersects with the bypass I-270 before heading north into urban Columbus, about a mile north of the I-70 junction, it intersects with I-670. After another interchange with the I-270 bypass, the exits out of Columbus and continues north until near Delaware. Beginning its path to Cleveland, I-71 enters the farm country on the edges of the Allegheny Plateau. It continues in this fashion to Lodi/Westfield Center and its junction with I-76, heading north to Medina, it meets the terminus of I-271. The highway then continues north into urban Cuyahoga County and Clevelands suburbs, passing Cleveland Hopkins International Airport, I-71 meets I-480 and enters Clevelands west side, continuing on to downtown. It junctions with State Route 176 and terminates at Interstate 90 on the Innerbelt, the first section of I-71 in Louisville opened in December 1966 between its terminus at Spaghetti Junction and Zorn Avenue, its first exit
