State Route 247 (SR 247) is a 26.4-mile-long (42.5 km) east–west state highway in Maury and Williamson counties of Middle Tennessee.[2]

Route description

[edit]

SR 247 begins in Maury County at an intersection with SR 50 in Williamsport. It heads east through rural farmland and slightly hilly terrain, running parallel to the Duck River, to Santa Fe, where it has a short concurrency with SR 7. The highway leaves the river and passes northeast through mountains for several miles to pass through Theta before reentering farmland and having over a 1.5 miles (2.4 km) long concurrency with SR 246 just south of Burwood. SR 247 the enters Spring Hill and passes along the northern edge of Spring Hill Manufacturing before passing through downtown, where it has an extremely short concurrency with US 31/SR 6.[3] It then crosses into Williamson County and passes through subdivisions before leaving Spring Hill and crossing over I-65 without an interchange. The highway then passes through more wooded areas before entering Duplex and coming to an end at an intersection with US 431/SR 106.[4]
