Tennessee State Route 211

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

State Route 211 (SR 211) is a secondary state highway in Dyer County, Tennessee and Obion County, Tennessee. The southern terminus for this highway is at the US 412, US 51 interchange in Dyersburg, Tennessee. The current northern terminus is in Trimble, Tennessee at an intersection with Tennessee State Route 105. Tennessee Department of Transportation ended state maintenance on the section of this highway between Trimble, Tennessee and Obion, Tennessee due to the deteriorated nature of the bridges along this section of roadway and the derelict Adkison Memorial Bridge over the Obion River that has been closed for a number of years. In the past the highway continued north past this point with a historic northern terminus at the US 51 freeway just south of Troy, Tennessee. The orphaned northern portion of SR 211 was eventually decommissioned and resigned as an extended Tennessee State Route 183. This highway represents the old two-lane alignment of US 51 between Dyersburg, Tennessee and Troy, Tennessee. North of Troy, Tennessee the old two-lane alignment resumes and is currently signed as Tennessee State Route 184 and runs to Union City, Tennessee. Total length of current alignment is 11.10 miles.

The maps linked below do not show the recent realignment of this highway, however, in the field this highway is signed as stated above. For several years, SR 211 was detoured off its alignment using Tennessee State Route 105, US 51, and Tennessee State Route 183 to avoid the closed section of roadway roughly from the Obion County Line at Trimble, Tennessee north to Obion, Tennessee. Since resigning the roadway has occurred the detour has been removed.
