State Route 175

Picture
State Route 175 (SR 175) is a Tennessee designated state route, running for a total of approximately 26.3 miles (42.3 km) through southern Shelby County, Tennessee.The original SR 175 was on a different route before 2004, when the last 2 miles (3.2 km) of East Shelby Drive were included into the route. The original road took a sharp left onto what is now Houston Levee Road for 0.4 miles (0.64 km), then a sharp right onto what is now Collierville Road, and continued east for 2.4 miles (3.9 km), until reaching Byhalia Road, and taking a sharp left, continuing to the end of the current route. These last 2.4 miles of SR 175 (Collierville Road) have undergone rigorous construction since about 1998, and barely one-third of the current road follows exactly the original route.

Prior to the 1980s, Shelby Drive was known as "Whitehaven-Capleville Road" or "Whitecap" for short; also, the portion of the current route between Fleming Road and Byhalia Road in Collierville was called "Mann Road.
