Route description

Lincoln County

SR 10 begins at the Alabama state line in Lincoln County, just north of Hazel Green, Alabama, where it is the unsigned companion route of US 231/US 431. They then go north through farmland and countryside and have an intersection with SR 275 before going through Park City and crossing a ridge into Fayetteville. Once in Fayetteville, they have a Y-intersection with SR 110 before going through a major business and coming to an intersection with US 64 Bypass. Here, US 431 continues straight into downtown while US 231/SR 10 turns east to follow US 64 Bypass to the south. They then curve to the north before coming to an intersection with US 64/SR 15/SR 50, where US 64 Bypass ends separate and US 231/SR 10 continue north through some farmland before climbing on top of Chestnut Ridge to cross into Moore County.

US 231/SR 10 then intersect and have a short concurrency with SR 129 as it straddles the county line with Lincoln County before crossing into Bedford County. The route then lowers down off of Chestnut Ridge and goes through more farmland and has a crossing of the Duck River before entering Shelbyville. They first go through some suburbs before having a Y-intersection and becoming concurrent with SR 64/SR 130 and entering downtown. SR 64/SR 130 then separate and turn east at an intersection with SR 82/SR 387 (Lane Parkway), with SR 82 joining the concurrency before curving to the east and then turning north again to have an intersection with US 41A/SR 16.
