State Route 47 (SR47) is a state highway located entirely within Dickson County, Tennessee.

SR47 is generally traversed only in part; the two termini are in fact only about distant from each other, and are impracticable as a route from end-to-end, as the distance the highway runs is over twice this long.

Route description

SR47 begins as a secondary highway at an intersection with SR 48 slightly southeast of downtown Dickson near the Fairgrounds. In the Dickson city limits, it is known as East Walnut Street. Outside of Dickson, the road runs east through the communities of Colesburg and Burns. From Burns it runs east past the southern entrance to Montgomery Bell State Park in the Bakersworks community and then onto an intersection with U.S. Route 70 (US70) in western White Bluff.

At this point the highway is overlain by US70 for approximately ; it then turns north as a primary highway to Charlotte, where it terminates just south of the downtown area with another intersection with SR48.

History

The portion between White Bluff and Dickson represents the original routing of SR 1/US70 through the area; when the current US70 was constructed (19391941) this road was redesignated as part of SR47.
