Route description
[edit]SR 344 begins in Hamblen County in Russellville at a Y-Intersection with US 11E/SR 34/SR 66. The highway goes east along the original US 11E alignment through downtown (Old Russellville Pike) before leaving Russellville and turning northeastward through farmland before having an intersection and becoming concurrent with SR 113, where it crosses into Hawkins County. SR 113/SR 344 continue northeast to Saint Clair, where SR 344 splits off and goes north. It then passes through a couple of ridges before making a sharp right and crossing a bridge over Cherokee Lake/Holston River a short distance later.
