State Route 114 (SR 114) is a north–south state highway that traverses six counties in the western grand division of Tennessee. The {{convert|96.49|mi|km|adj=mid|-long}} route travels from Clifton Junction to an area south of Paris via Scotts Hill, Lexington, and the Natchez Trace State Park.{{Cite map |author= Tennessee Department of Transportation |year= 2018 |title= Tennessee's Official Transportation Map |url=https://www.tn.gov/content/dam/tn/tdot/maps/state-maps/2017-18%20Official%20SMap%20(Front%20Side)092017.pdf |format= PDF |edition= 2018 |location= Nashville |publisher= Tennessee Department of Transportation |sections= B5, C5, D5, and E5 |access-date= September 28, 2018}}
Most of SR 114 is a secondary route, but a portion of the route between Clifton and Bath Springs is a primary route.
Route description
=Wayne and Hardin Counties=
SR 114 begins at Clifton Junction in western Wayne County, at an intersection with US 64 (SR 15). It goes north as an improved 2-lane highway and runs concurrently with US 641 as a secret, or hidden, designation. They pass through Clifton, where they have a short concurrency with SR 128, where it enters Hardin County, just before crossing a bridge over the Tennessee River before crossing into Decatur County.
=Decatur County=
SR 114 then follows a northwesterly path as it becomes signed at an intersection with SR 69 near Bath Springs, where it splits from US 641 and becomes concurrent with SR 69. They pass through Bath Springs before they split, with SR 114 continuing northwest. SR 114 has an intersection with SR 202 and passes through Lick Skillet before entering Scotts Hill and crossing into Henderson County.
=Henderson County=
SR 114 becomes concurrent with SR 201 in downtown before having an intersection with SR 100. They then leave Scott's Hill, where SR 201 splits off from SR 114 just to the north of town. The highway then enters Chesterfield, where it turns west to run concurrently with US 412 (SR 20) to Lexington as a 4-lane highway. They enter downtown Lexington and come to an intersection with SR 104, where SR 114 departs from US 412 (SR 20) as a 2-lane and continues northward to Natchez Trace State Park, where it crosses I-40 (Exit 116) and enters Carroll County.
=Carroll and Henry Counties=
SR 114 continues through mainly rural areas, passing through the communities of Yuma, where it has an intersection with SR 424, Westport, and Burna Vista before entering the town of Hollow Rock, where it has a short concurrency with US 70 (SR 1). It crosses the Big Sandy River between Westport and Buena Vista. SR 114 then crosses into Henry County and passes through Mansfield before reaching its northern terminus at the SR 77 junction just south of Paris.
==History==
Until US 641 was extended into Decatur, northeast Hardin and northwest Wayne counties in 2015, SR 114 was signed in its course from US 64 to SR 69. US 641's original southern terminus was at the I-40 junction at the Decatur–Benton county line.{{Cite map |author= Rand McNally |year= 2013 |map= Tennessee |title= The Road Atlas |scale= c. 1:1,900,800 |edition= 2013 Walmart |location= Chicago |publisher= Rand McNally |page= 94 |section= F8 |isbn= 0-528-00626-6 }}
