State Route 181
Tennessee State Route 181 is a rural highway paralleling the Mississippi River for 24.99 miles west of Dyersburg. SR 181 originates in northern Lauderdale County from SR 88 east of Hales Point and just south of Moss Island. Straddling the Mississippi River levee system, SR 181 (Great River Road) angles northwest across Dyer County toward Midway before turning northeast to SR 104 east of Heloise.
A rural diamond interchange joins SR 181 (Great River Road) with I-155/U.S. 412 south of Boothspoint and Whites Lake. North from there, SR 181 meets SR 103 east of Tennemo before crossing into Lake County. SR 181 curves east to a end at SR 79, which was realigned to meet SR 181 at a right angle.
