After crossing the Caney Fork, the route goes along and through various ridges before reaching Cookeville. After its first cross across Interstate 40, it goes south into Dry Valley; from there it goes northeasterly back to parallel Interstate 40 to Monterey. In Monterey, US 70N crosses Interstate 40 its second and third time. Going southeast, to meets back with US 70 in Crossville, shortly before coming to an end at US 127.
