State Route 65 (SR 65) is a north–south state highway in Middle Tennessee. The highway runs concurrently with U.S. Route 431 for its entire course as it is a secret, or hidden, designation since US 431 was extended into Tennessee and Kentucky from Alabama in 1953. The SR 65 designation was also hidden to avoid confusion between it and Interstate 65 (I-65) in the general area. It traverses Davidson and Robertson counties in northern Middle Tennessee.[1][2]

Route description

SR 65 begins at the corner of Trinity Lane (US 431) and Dickerson Road (US 41/US 31W/SR 11) north of downtown Nashville. It crosses I-24/65, and eventually Briley Parkway (SR 155) and Old Hickory Boulevard near Whites Creek. SR 65 continues northward to cross I-24’s Joleton interchange before entering Robertson County.[3]

It once again intersects US 41 (SR 11) at Springfield and also intersects SR 76 and SR 49. US 41/SR 11, however, runs concurrently with US 431/SR 65 throughout Springfield. It then goes further north to the Kentucky state line south of Adairville, Kentucky, where SR 65 ends, but US 431 continues into Logan County.[4]
