Route description

SR 222 begins in Fayette County north of Somerville at a Y-Intersection with SR 59. It heads northwest as a two-lane highway through farmland for several miles to an interchange with I-40. The highway then crosses into Haywood County and temporarily widens to four-lane highway, bypassing the original two-lane alignment to the west, which is now known as Stanton Somerville Road. SR 222 then narrows to two-lanes and enters Stanton as Lafayette Street, where it passes through some neighborhoods before coming to an end at an intersection with U.S. [Route 70 in Tennessee|US 70]/U.S. [Route 79 in Tennessee|US 79]/SR 1 just west of downtown.
