State Route 228 (SR 228) is a 11.1 miles (17.9 km) long east-west state highway located entirely in the mountains of northern Wayne County, Tennessee.
Route description[]
SR 228 begins in Clifton at an intersection with SR 128 northeast of downtown and just north . It goes east as Morrison Creek Road to wind its way through mountains to leave Clifton and come to an intersection with Beech Creek Road, where SR 228 makes a sharp right turn to follow that road. The highway then traverses a narrow valley for several miles, where it passes through the community of Leatherwood. SR 228 then turns northeast and makes a very steep ascent up a mountain before coming to an end at an intersection with SR 13 between Waynesboro and Linden. The entire route of SR 228 is a two-lane highway and lies entirely on the Highland Rim.[1][2]
Major intersections[]
The entire route is in Wayne County.
