Route description
SR 290 begins at an intersection on SR 53 northeast of Granville and southwest of Gainesboro. SR 290 then travels through rural terrain and is very curvy between SR 53 and SR 56 in Bloomington Springs. SR 290 has a 1.2-mile-long (1.9 km) concurrency with SR 56 in Bloomington Springs.
SR 290 travels to the north with SR 56 and then splits off to the southeast and continues in a southeasterly direction until it reaches the Cookeville city limits. Upon entering Cookeville, SR 290 turns east and becomes an undivided, four-lane road and continues west until it meets its eastern terminus, an intersection with SR 135.
