State Route 87 (SR 87) is a secondary
State Route 207. The western terminus of SR 87 is notable due to the extreme levels of erosion from the Mississippi River that has created a very sharp and unstable "cliff" that forced TDOT
to erect a barricade to stop vehicles from driving over the edge and into the river.
Route description
Lauderdale County
SR 87 begins on the banks of the
SR 3 and entering the town of Henning. SR 87 enters downtown along Graves Avenue before having a short concurrency with SR 209 (Main Street). SR 87 then leaves Henning along Mc Farland Avenue and passes just south of Durhamville
before continuing east and crossing into Haywood County.
Haywood County
SR 87 continues to wind its way through farmland before entering Brownsville and coming to an end at an intersection with SR 19.
