Geschichte
Die Interstate wurde in den 1950er Jahren geplant. Im selben Zeitraum wurde auch mit dem Bau begonnen. Zusammen mit den U.S. Highways 2, 27, 25 und 41, die zum Teil heute noch existieren, wurde der alte Dixie Highway ersetzt. Die Fertigstellung der letzten Abschnitte der I-75 erfolgte 1986 in den Counties Dade und Broward (beide Florida).
Besonderheit
Am Vormittag des 11. Dezember 1990 ereignete sich auf der I-75 in beiden Fahrtrichtungen nahe Calhoun, Tennessee (dem tiefsten Punkt der Straße) der bislang größte Straßenverkehrsunfall (Massenkarambolage) der Vereinigten Staaten: Aufgrund Nebels durch eine Inversionswetterlage verunfallten 99 Kfz, wobei 12 Menschen starben und 42 verletzt wurden. Der Nebel war jedoch kein natürliches Phänomen. Dafür war der Nebel zu dicht. In der Nähe gab es mehrere Fabriken. Der Nebel soll in einer Papierfabrik entstanden sein. Der Wind wehte den Nebel zur Straße.[1]
