Route description

Southern Terminus at Interstate 40 Exit 133

SR 191 runs from I-40 (Exit 133) north to Nathan Bedford Forest State Park just north of Eva, Tennessee. This highway crosses US 70, US 70 Bus, and SR 69A. The section of road from I-40 to US 70 is also known as Birdsong Road. This highway passes through the small communities of Chalk Level, Eva, and the town of Camden.

Near the northern terminus this road features unstripped shoulders, narrow roadway width, hairpin curves, and degraded pavement. All sections of SR 191 are quite curvy, with speed limits at the southern sections dropping from 55 mph (89 km/h) to 45 mph (72 km/h). North of Camden, the posted speed limit is 50 mph (80 km/h) and drops off from 40 mph (64 km/h) at Eva to as low as 20 mph (32 km/h) inside the state park. Total length of highway is 24.02 miles (38.66 km).
