Johnson City Kingsport Highway Gets 20 Foot Surfacing Plan
State Senator Thomas Pratt announced that Commissioner Baker confirmed the Kingsport to Johnson City road No. 86 will have a 20 foot concrete surface rather than 18 feet. The project, part of Route Tennessee Highway No. 36, includes bridge structures and a major road fill south of Kingsport. The span will improve through travel from Virginia to North Carolina and shorten the distance between city limits.
