South Fork of the Obion River to enter Weakley County.[3]

US 45E/SR 43/SR 54 then becomes an undivided highway again and enters

US 45E/SR 216 heads east as a four-lane freeway along the south side of the city to have an interchange with Pair Road before coming to a very large interchange with SR 22 and SR 431, where SR 216 ends and SR 22 becomes concurrent with US 45E.
