SR 172 then leaves Greeneville and continues north through rural countryside. The highway has an intersection with Ottway Road, which is a major county road that leads to Ottway. SR 172 continues north through rural areas before entering Baileyton, where it comes to an end at an interchange with I-81 (Exit 36) just south of downtown, where the road continues as Van Hill Road (Former SR 172).
