A Town Named for a Highway Split

Heavy Duty Towing in Three Way, Tennessee is about one interchange. The town is named for the point where U.S. Route 45 splits into U.S. 45W, which heads toward Humboldt, and U.S. 45E, which heads toward Milan. Three Way is in Madison County, incorporated in 1998, with 1,877 residents at the 2020 census. A semi, bus or heavy unit that stops near that split is in the path of every truck going north from Jackson. Call (731) 202-9868. Dispatch answers 24/7.

The split itself

U.S. 45E begins at Three Way at an interchange between U.S. 45 and U.S. 45W. It runs concurrent with unsigned State Route 43 and State Route 186 and heads northeast as a divided four-lane road, where State Route 186 splits off. Signs at the southern Three Way interchange point to Jackson. Every loaded truck heading north from Jackson has to pick a branch here, and a unit stopped at the merge is stopped where that choice is made.

If your unit is stopped at or near the interchange, tell us which branch you were on and which way you were going: toward Jackson, toward Humboldt on 45W, or toward Milan on 45E. Ramps and merges need extra care, and we may need traffic control before we start a pull.

A small town, a busy road

Three Way had 1,709 residents in 2010 and 1,877 in 2020, a 9.8 percent increase. It is a small place, but the road through it is not. Trucks heading up US 45W to Humboldt and up US 45E to Milan both leave Jackson through this area. That gives Three Way a different pattern from a farm town. The trouble here is usually through traffic, not local freight.

The town's elevation is about 433 feet, according to Wikipedia. If a unit leaves the road into a field or ditch, tell dispatch whether it is in water or standing mud, because that changes the equipment we send.

Middle Fork Bottoms State Park

Wikipedia lists Middle Fork Bottoms State Park in Three Way. State park roads and parking lots are not built for tractor-trailers. If a bus, RV or horse trailer breaks down or gets stuck at the park, give dispatch the entrance you used and the size of the unit. Many bus and RV calls at parks and small lots come down to turning radius, not horsepower.
