Route description
SR 73 begins at an intersection with SR 71 in the community of Higdon, heading north on a two-lane undivided road. The highway heads through rural areas of farms and woods with some homes, curving to the northwest. The highway heads north again as it crosses under several power lines radiating from the Widows Creek Power Plant along the Tennessee River. SR 73 continues northeast past homes and businesses in the Bryant area on top of Sand Mountain prior to going north through more forested areas with a few rural homes. The highway travels through a mix of farm and woodland before it turns east into forests. SR 73 makes a sharp curve north again to traverse Sand Mountain as it comes to the Tennessee state line. At this point, the road continues into Tennessee as SR 377, which ascends Sand Mountain to end at SR 156 in New Hope, TN, a town just east of South Pittsburg, TN.[1][2][3]
History
The SR 73 designation was first assigned in 1934 to an unimproved road connecting SR 74 in Piedmont and SR 62 in Forney, traveling through Spring Garden and Rock Run.[4] By 1948, this road was removed from the state highway system, becoming CR 29 in Calhoun and Cherokee counties by 1955.[5][6] What would become the current SR 73 south of Bryant became a part of SR 207 by 1955; at this time, the portion of road was a paved highway.[6] SR 207 was redesignated SR 73 by 1957.[7] By 1987, SR 73 was extended north from Bryant to the Tennessee state line.[8]
