Directions to the Training Facility
Download a map of Oak Ridge and the route from the airport. (You will need the Adobe Acrobat reader to view the map. It can be downloaded free of charge from the Adobe Web site.)
- From airport, take Alcoa Highway (US 129 North) toward Knoxville for approximately 2.5 miles.
- Take the OAK RIDGE exit to the right onto I-140.
- Continue on I-140 for approximately 11.5 miles. You will cross interstate I-40/I-75. As you cross the interstate, watch for the Oak Ridge sign telling you to bear left. This takes you onto Route 162, better known as the Pellissippi Parkway.
- In about 6 miles, you will go through the small Solway community that primarily consists of gas stations. Continue over the Clinch River/Solway Bridge (bearing left), and past a local cemetery that will be on the right.
- Once past the cemetery, bear left at the sign indicating the approach into Oak Ridge. In a mile or so, this will take you onto South Illinois Avenue. Most of the Oak Ridge hotels are located on South Illinois.
If you want to go directly to the training center instead of the hotel:
- After you have crossed the bridge over the river and are next to the cemetery, you will see a sign that says "Bethel Valley Rd. closed to through traffic." That is the road that you want to take. Bear right onto Bethel Valley Road.
- The training center will be on the left at the first intersection that you come to: the intersection of Bethel Valley Road and Pumphouse Rd. (to the left) and Scarboro Rd. (to the right). Turn left onto Pumphouse Road. There will be two entrances immediately on the left into the parking lot.
- To enter the facility, walk around to the front of the building. The entrance faces Bethel Valley Road closest to the intersection. Someone should be there to let you in. See photo below.
