context_section_description: US 27 continues as a four-lane divided highway through the small towns of Sale Creek and Graysville, where it intersects with SR 303, before crossing into Rhea County, and reaching Graysville. The route then enters Dayton at the intersection with SR 378 (Market Street; Old US 27) and SR 60 (Hiwassee Highway). It bypasses downtown to the east and intersects SR 30. US 27 then has another intersection with SR 378 before it leaves Dayton and continues northward through Evensville before becoming concurrent with SR 68 and arriving at Spring City. It then has an interchange where SR 68 splits off to the west, while US 27 enters downtown and intersects with SR 302. It then leaves Spring City and continues north through farmland.
  From here, US 27 enters Roane County and runs through Glen Alice before becoming concurrent with US 70/SR 1 and entering the city of Rockwood. They go straight through town, passing just east of downtown before US 70 splits to the east, taking SR 1and SR 29 with it. US 27 then runs concurrently with SR 61 (which is signed, except on I-40), as that highway begins here. US 27/SR 61 then pass through Cardiff, where they intersect with the short SR 382, which provides access to Roane State Community College. They then enter Harriman, and pass through countryside before coming to an interchange with I-40 (Exit 347). During this stretch, it forms part of the Harvey H. Hannah Memorial Highway, and is signed as such. They then enter the South Harriman neighborhood and pass by several businesses and rejoin with SR 29 (Ruritain Road). They then cross the bridge over the Emory River to enter and pass through the historic downtown, intersecting with SR 328. Just beyond Harriman, near the DeArmond community, US 27/SR 29 then splits from SR 61 at an interchange, with the Harvey H. Hannah Memorial Highway following that route to the east. US 27/SR 29 then begin to ascend the Cumberland Plateau as it then narrows to 2 lanes, and continues northward across the plateau for its remaining 55 miles (89 km) or so in Tennessee.
  In Morgan County, the highway passes through the rugged mountains of the Cumberland Plateau and has another intersection with SR 328 before ascending a ridge to enter Mossy Grove. It passes through Mossy Grove and has an intersection with Clayton Howard Road, which provides access to Lone Mountain State Forest. It then leaves the town and continues north to an intersection with Main Street (Old US 27 in Downtown) just before entering Wartburg. US 27/SR 29 then widen to 4 lanes just before the intersection with SR 62 and becomes concurrent with that route. They go north, bypassing downtown to the east before leaving Wartburg at the intersection with Old Gobey Road, which heads off to Gobey. The highway then descends down a mountain and narrows to 2 lanes once again just before another crossing of the Emory River. They then have an intersection with Gobey Road, another access road to Gobey, before SR 62 splits off to the west. US 27/SR 29 then becomes narrow, curvy, and winding as it passes through  rural areas. With nowhere to pass a slow car, the highway passes by the Morgan County fairgrounds before passing through the town of Annadel. It does not have any passing lanes before entering the town of Sunbright. US 27/SR 29 passes through the center of town, having Intersections with SR 329 and Burrville Road, an access road to Burrville. It then becomes even curvier as it leaves Morgan County to cross into Scott County. For the next 12 miles (19 km) it has one place to pass with a 40 miles per hour (64 km/h) speed limit. US 27/SR 29 then passes through the community of Glenmary before entering Elgin, where the highway intersects SR 52, which connects the area with the historic village of Rugby and Fentress County to the west.
  Beyond Elgin, US 27/SR 29 passes through Robbins, the county seat of Huntsville (where it intersects with SR 63, becomes concurrent with SR 297, and widens to 4 lanes), and Helenwood before reaching the city of Oneida.
  In Oneida, the highway passes through a major business district
