Major Roads in the Area

Tennessee State Route 93, also known as Sullivan Gardens Parkway, used to be the main road running north and south through the community. However, much of the traffic now uses the Sullivan Gardens Parkway as a bypass. A bypass is a road that goes around a town or city, helping drivers avoid busy areas. This means that most visitors now drive around the main part of Sullivan Gardens because there aren't many big businesses directly on Sullivan Gardens Drive anymore.

Another important road is Tennessee State Route 347, called Lone Star Road. This road runs east and west, connecting different parts of the area.
