In 2013, the two segments of TN 385 were connected with the opening of new freeway connecting them. This made TN 385 a 55 mile semi-circle around the outer reaches of Memphis.
In 2018, TN 385 from I-40 south to the new I-269 freeway coming up from Mississippi was made part of I-269, giving us the split TN 385 route in place today.

Posting: Posted as a primary route everywhere
Secret US Route Overlay: none
Comment: The northern segment (Paul Barrett Pkwy) is also going to become I-269 someday.
Technically I-269 north goes a touch past I-40 by about 1/2 mile
The southern segment (Bill Morris Pkwy) contains SPUIs at almost every interchange.
