Old SR numbers are SR-81 (North Carolina to Erwin), SR-36 (US-19W south of Erwin to Johnson City) and SR-137 (Johnson City to Virginia). [1] shows SR-137 just north of Johnson City. All primary of course. SR-137 may have once continued south from Johnson City? --SPUI (T - C) 11:44, 18 May 2006 (UTC)

I lived in that area during the time when it was SR-137. All of the current I-26 between Johnson City and the Wilcox Drive (TN-36) exit in Kingsport were designated TN-137 prior to 1984. In that year, TN-137 was extended four miles, to the West Stone Drive exit in Kingsport, including the addition, was redesignated as US-23. It never extended south of Johnson City as TN-137. It became I-181 several years later, still following the same route, only with the northern terminus extended to the Virginia state line. Jsc1973 (talk) 18:45, 23 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] More TN & SC shields needed

Does anybody want to make more Tennessee and South Carolina shields so they can be added to the exit lists here? DanTD 09:44, 18 October 2006 (EST)

[edit] Overhaul

I have overhauled the exit lists for all three states and conformed them to style. I still have some minor work to do on the NC exit list, mainly regarding correcting some of the roads/destinations. --Bdj95 06:04, 15 May 2007 (UTC)
