Route Description
The vast majority of this highway is two-lane with no access control. SR 69 overlaps U.S. Highway 641 from Interstate 40 to Paris and U.S. Highway 64 from Savannah to Crump. In Hardin County, there are two separate sections of this road due to the path of the Tennessee River through this area.
SR 69 is one of the few state highways in Tennessee that have a signed alternate route. SR 69A is approximately 27.09 miles (43.60 km) long with a northern terminus of Paris and a southern terminus of Camden. It serves the community of Big Sandy and provides access to rural northern Benton County and southeastern Henry County. SR 69A is a narrow and very curvy two-lane highway throughout its entire length. SR 69A is known as 'Old Highway 69' in Benton County and a few old mileposts still exist indicating '69' and on the bottom of the sign, as opposed to newer mileposts which indicate '69A'.

Famous quotes containing the words route and/or description:
“By whatever means it is accomplished, the prime business of a play is to arouse the passions of its audience so that by the route of passion may be opened up new relationships between a man and men, and between men and Man. Drama is akin to the other inventions of man in that it ought to help us to know more, and not merely to spend our feelings.”
—Arthur Miller (b. 1915)
“A sound mind in a sound body, is a short, but full description of a happy state in this World: he that has these two, has little more to wish for; and he that wants either of them, will be little the better for anything else.”
—John Locke (1632–1704)
