State Route 1 (SR-1), known as the Memphis to Bristol Highway, is a 538.8-mile-long (867.1 km) mostly-unsigned state highway in the U.S. state of Tennessee. It stretches all the way from the Arkansas state line at Memphis in the southwest corner of the state to Bristol in the northeast part. Most of the route travels concurrently with U.S. Route 70 (US-70) and US-11W. It is the longest highway of any kind in the state of Tennessee.
In 2015, the Tennessee Department of Transportation erected signs along SR-1 showing motorists they are traveling on the Memphis to Bristol Highway, Tennessee's first state road. TDOT installed the signs at every county line while it celebrated its 100th anniversary.
SR-1 begins on Interstate 55 (I-55) in the middle of the Memphis & Arkansas Bridge at the Arkansas–Tennessee state line. US-61, US-64, US-70, and US-79 come off the bridge alongside SR-1; US-61 soon turns south with SR-14. The other three U.S. Highways split east onto SR-3, and US-51 joins, only to split with SR-4 where SR-1 turns east alone onto North Parkway. However, US-64/US-70/US-79 soon rejoin SR-1 at SR-57. These 4 routes continue as Summer Avenue until exiting Memphis. The portions where SR-1 runs by itself are signed.
