U.S. Route 127 in Tennessee

US 127 begins at an interchange with US 27 near the Chattanooga suburb of Red Bank. It, along with SR 8 as its hidden, or secret, companion, goes through Signal Mountain and Walden before entering Sequatchie County. SR 8 parts with US 127 to join SR 111 west of Dunlap; SR 28 joins US 127 for the remainder of the U.S. Route’s path through the state. From Dunlap, it parallels the Sequatchie River.

US 127 traverses Bledsoe and Cumberland Counties in a north-northeasterly fashion through lots of rural area, along with the city of Pikeville, where it has a brief concurrency with SR 30. Further north in Cumberland County, it arrives in Crossville, where it has intersections with US 70 (SR 1), and then traverse I-40 at its Exit 317 interchange before turning due north.

The highway enters Fentress County near the town of Clarkrange, and then continues northward to Jamestown. After bypassing Jamestown, the highway then turns northwestward to Pall Mall, where it passes Alvin C. York Historical Site, and crosses the Wolf River. It then traverses portions of east-central Pickett County before reaching the town of Static, where its intersection with SR 111 is the U.S. highway’s last intersection on Tennessee soil before crossing the state line into Clinton County in south-central Kentucky, where its junction with Kentucky Route 1076 is located.

The former alignment of US 127 (Main Street) at SR 52 in downtown Jamestown

US 127's current alignment was signed solely as SR 28 until the US 127 corridor's southern terminus was relocated to Chattanooga when the US route was extended south from Cincinnati, Ohio. From 1958 until the 2010s, US 127’s southern terminus was originally located in downtown Chattanooga, where it intersected US 41 during that route’s concurrency with US 76.

In 1987, the entire alignment of US 127 in Tennessee and Kentucky became the main route for the first annual 127 Corridor Sale. The yard sale route has since extended into other areas along US 127 into Ohio, as well as varied state highways in southern Hamilton County, and into northwest Georgia and northeast Alabama. The tradition continues until this day, and this year's yard sale will be the 43rd annual one.[2]
