Route Description
The southern terminus of SR 211 is at a large 3-way junction with US 51 / SR 3 just south of Dyersburg. SR 211 begins as an unsigned route overlapped with Business US 51 inside the city limits of Dyersburg. SR 211 briefly overlaps with SR 104 near downtown Dyersburg and with US 51 on the north side of the city. The route in this area is mostly a two-lane facility with a few four-lane and five-lane sections with a maximum speed limit of 50 MPH (80 km/h). North of Dyersburg, SR 211 is constructed as a two-lane route and is predominately rural in nature. This route passes through downtown Newbern and intersects SR 77 before continuing north toward Trimble. The northern terminus of SR 211 is at Trimble at a 4-way at-grade intersection with SR 105. North of this intersection, old SR 211 continues north but is closed to traffic. This old alignment provides access to the C.M. Gooch Wildlife Management Area maintained by the Tennessee Wildlife Resources Agency.

Famous quotes containing the words route and/or description:
“The route through childhood is shaped by many forces, and it differs for each of us. Our biological inheritance, the temperament with which we are born, the care we receive, our family relationships, the place where we grow up, the schools we attend, the culture in which we participate, and the historical period in which we live—all these affect the paths we take through childhood and condition the remainder of our lives.”
—Robert H. Wozniak (20th century)
“Whose are the truly labored sentences? From the weak and flimsy periods of the politician and literary man, we are glad to turn even to the description of work, the simple record of the month’s labor in the farmer’s almanac, to restore our tone and spirits.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
