 Creation: US 31W was requested by Tennessee in July 1929 at the request of Kentucky and approved shortly after. It initially began near Edenwold and followed US 41E (now Rivergate Pkwy and Two Mile Pike) away from US 31-31E. It left US 41E at today's Old Stone Bridge Rd jct heading northeast on and following TN 41 Old Louisville Pike on its way to Kentucky.
Adjustments: In 1932, US 41E was placed on new routing out of Nashville. US 31W was removed from Rivergate Pkwy and Two Mile Pike and placed on this new routing, changing its south endpoint to 1st and Main in Nashville. US 31W was removed from Old Louisville Pike at this time.

In 1939, US 31W was removed from C Smith Rd in Millersville; New Radar Rd (no longer connects to)/Woody Ln Jarrett Rd, Denson Ln and Florence Ln into White Hill
In 1941, US 31W was removed from "Old Hwy 31" and Meadowlark Rd near Rolling Acres
In 1947, US 31W was removed from "Old Hwy 31W" (no longer connects to) and South Rd in the TN 25 area; "Old Hwy 31W" at the Red River area; lengthy visible abandoned segment to the west from Old TN 52 EB to north of Byrum Chapel Rd; Old Hwy 31W in the Summers Branch area
Between 1952-56, US 31E's routing moved from Main St to Woodland/Deadrick Sts, thus US 31W south was extended from Main to Deadrick.
Between 1957-64, US 31W was moved off 1st St to instead use Dickerson Pike/Spring St to end at US 31E Main St.
About 1978, US 31W south was extended west on Main to the current US 31E freeway south end.
