i also took 55 into manchester...although it seemed fine to us, we heard it was the longest wait...i dunno i guess we just have to pick our poison...i mean route...oops ;D
If you are coming from Knoxville, take 40 towards Nashville. I do not remember the exit number, but when you get to COOKVILLE TN, you will take the exit for Highway 111 to McMinnville (it might say Sparta). Follow this route to Mcminnville TN and then follow the signs for the BY-PASS to Manchester. This will bring you to Highway 55 straigth to Manchester. It this way will cut off about a hour to a hour and a half of the drive instead of going through Chattanooga to Manchester from Knoxville. I know. I live in Manchester and have family in Knoxville.

Have a good time in our soon to be large town.
this route is faster if you don't mind speeding. if you're set on going the speed limit most of the time (ie. carrying 'precious cargo') head to chattanooga on 75 and come back up 24, it will be faster. watch out for johnny law. safe travels everyone.
** edit : ultimatly, you'll get there either way. just be careful.

From what I can see, it's just best to take I-24 since they expect everyone to come as main route as possible. Plus, they probably have more of an obligation to try to clear the Interstate than some bootleg back road. From what I've read, (see Ultimate Time to Arrive Poll thread) everyone I've heard who came in 55 or any other non-major route had much longer waits. I think they'll be planning for most to take I-24 since that's what they recommend on the site, so take I-24 and don't try anything sneaky, because you'll probably end up taking the "long" cut.
T-rizzle razzle dazzle
* I took the road less travelled by, and that has made all the difference.
