Turn left on 123 and take it into the town of Franklin.  The first main intersection in town is Riley Blvd. Turn left on Riley (there is a large paper mill at the intersection - Franklin Paperboard Company). Riley becomes State Route 73; follow Route 73 West out of town.  Route 73 becomes a 4-lane parkway after you get out of Franklin.
