Chattanooga Highway, The Flatwoods Bypass segment 2011-11-27 - The Flatwoods, District 4, Adair Co., KY - Photo by Ed Waggener. Travel from Chattanooga to Columbia will soon be a little bit shorter. This view is from the brand new Petty Road connector to the Historic Business District of The Flatwoods from new KY 61 S, and looks north toward Columbia, KY. When this road is completed and when a new section of Tennessee 52 is opened below Celina, TN, travellers can scoot down to Chattanooga, Tennessee in scarcely more time than it took in 1952 to go downtown Louisville, KY, with few stop lights, and just a dog leg through beautiful downtown Burkesville, KY to slow them down.
