Route description
[edit]It begins at an intersection with US 641 north of Paris. The route then travels west to an intersection with SR 69 northwest of Paris. The route travels to the south to intersect SR 54 on the west side of Paris. Just past this intersection, the highway turns to the southeast, and then intersects US 79 and turns east and travels just south of Paris city limits. It then enters the city limits of Paris and intersects US 641/SR 69. Then, the route begins to gradually turn north. The route comes to an intersection at US 79 on the east side of Paris and turns northeast along US 79 to an intersection where SR 218 turns north and becomes a curvy rural road and comes to an at SR 140 in Buchanan.
