Counties traversed by State Route 183 County miles Obion 14.17 History
SR 183 from mile marker 9.37 (4-way stop at
Obion, Tennessee ) to mile marker 14.17 is a former section ofTennessee State Route 211 and is also the historical alignment ofU.S. Highway 51 /Tennessee State Route 3 . This section of SR 211 was deleted due to the derelictAdkison Memorial Bridge directly south of Obion, Tennessee. The Obion County map link in the reference section is out of date and still shows this section of highway as being bannered SR 211 although signs in the field have been changed entirely over to SR 183 shields. The new 2007 Official Transportation Map issued by TDOT shows the recent change of this section of roadway from SR 211 to SR 183.References
