Guest BluesLover Posted October 4, 2007 Share #6 Posted October 4, 2007 Does anyone know how far Memphis is from Chattanooga?.....Fred According to my mapping software, it's 345 miles (the quickest route) by taking I24/40 via Nashville. The actual shortest route is 311 miles via Mississippi (Hwy 72). If you take Hwy 64 it's 316 miles. Cheers, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
