Route description
SR 288 begins in
Warren County at an intersection with
US 70S/
SR 1 just east of
McMinnville. It heads northeast along Old Rock Island Road, a former alignment of US 70S, for a short distance before turning northwest along Hennessee Bridge Road. The highway winds its way northwest through farmland for several miles, where it crosses a bridge over the
Collins River, to merge onto Francis Ferry Road and pass through
Midway, where it has an intersection with
SR 287.[2] SR 288 crosses into
DeKalb County and winds its way through hillier terrain as Belk Road to pass through
Antioch, where it becomes Antioch Road. It continues northwest to pass through
Keltonburg, where it turns onto Keltonburg Road and crosses a bridge over a creek, before the highway turns completely west through flatter farmland for several miles before SR 288 comes to an end at an intersection with
SR 56 just south of
Smithville.[3] The entire route of SR 288 is a rural two-lane highway.[4]
