In the past, SR 211 continued north past Trimble with a historic northern terminus at the US 51 freeway just south of Troy. Tennessee Department of Transportation ended state maintenance on the section of this highway between Trimble and Obion due to the deteriorated nature of the bridges along this section of roadway and the derelict Adkison Memorial Bridge over the Obion River that has been closed for a number of years. This orphaned northern portion of SR 211 was eventually deleted and resigned as an extended SR 183. This highway represents the old two-lane alignment of US 51 between Dyersburg and Troy. North of Troy the old two-lane alignment of US 51 resumes and is currently signed as SR 184 and runs to Union City.
