Route description
SR 334 begins at an intersection with US 441/SR 15 north of Athens. Past this intersection is a segment of the former route of US 441. The highway travels east-northeast and curves to the north-northeast through generally rural parts of the county. Just south of Seagraves Mill Road, it begins to curve to the northwest. In the southern part of Commerce, it intersects a local street named Allen Road then becomes the route along that street. It then has another intersection with US 441/SR 15. This intersection also marks the southern terminus of US 441 Bus., which travels concurrent with SR 334. Approximately 0.6 miles (0.97 km) later, they intersect SR 98. Here, SR 334 ends, and US 441 BUS/SR 98 have a concurrency.
SR 334 is not part of the National Highway System, a system of roadways important to the nation's economy, defense, and mobility.

In 1991, US 441/SR 15 were rerouted through the Commerce area. Part of the former route was redesignated as US 441 Bus., with SR 334 concurrent with it.
