The route exited Lyon County via a ferry over the Tennessee River into Marshall County at Birmingham, and continued west to Briensburg via US 68 from just southeast of Briensburg. where it joined its modern-day eastern terminus. The route continued via its modern-day route through Benton, Mayfield and Clinton.[2] The route exited Kentucky via a ferry over the Lower Mississippi River at Columbus into Missouri.
