SR 220 is one of only three Tennessee State Routes that have alternate routes. State Route 220 Alternate (SR 220 Alt. or SR 220A) is an alternate route that travels from the SR 220 mainline on the south side of Atwood to US 70A on the east side of town. Its east–west portion is known as Johnson Road, and its north–south portion is known as Norris Robinson Loop.
SR 220 Alt. begins at an intersection with the SR 220 mainline (Church Street) in the southeastern part of Atwood. Less than 500 feet (150 m) later, it leaves the city limits of town. At Norris Robinson Loop, the highway turns left and follows that road until they meet their northern terminus, an intersection with US 70A/SR 77 in the eastern part of town.[5]
SR 220 Alternate is not part of the National Highway System, a system of roadways important to the nation's economy, defense, and mobility.[4]
