State Route 300 (abbreviated SR 300) is a four-lane controlled-access
designation has been approved for the entire length of SR 300.The route that is now SR 300 was originally envisioned as a freeway known as the Mud Island Expressway, which would have extended from the present-day eastern terminus across
Mud Island
to I-40 near downtown.
History
SR 300 was originally part of an abortive effort in the 1960s to build an expressway connecting the northern portion of the then
Ghost ramps and abandoned grading for this expressway still exist at the current western terminus of SR 300 at U.S. Highway 51 and also at Interstate 40
Exit 1 in downtown Memphis.
Future
SR 300 is slated to be signed as part of the proposed Interstate 69. In November 2004, the Tennessee Department of Transportation announced alternative A-1 (SIU 9) as the preferred alignment of future Interstate 69 through the Memphis area which will include SR 300.
Exit list
The entire route is in Memphis, Shelby County.
