Proposed Routing

Interstate 326 is a designation proposed by the Johnson City Metropolitan Transportation Planning Organization for the U.S. 321 freeway from Interstate 26 and U.S. 23 in Johnson City east to Elizabethton. On the MTPO web page, the description of Interstate 26 Extension includes a proposed spur route: "I-326 possible number for US 321 (SR 67) Existing freeway between Johnson City and Elizabethton, TN." There is no additional information on the timing of upgrading this section of U.S. 321 to Interstate standards.

	Proposed Western Terminus - Interstate 26 - Johnson City, Tennessee Perspective from Interstate 26 west/U.S. 23 north Interstate 26 & U.S. 19W-23 north approach Exit 24, Junction U.S. 321 & Tennessee 67 (Milligan Highway), possible Interstate 326 east. The overlapped highways travel a 4.5-mile long freeway between Johnson City and Elizabethton (pop. 13,372). Photo taken by Andy Field (05/31/07). Perspective from Interstate 26 east/U.S. 23 south A partial-cloverleaf interchange constitutes the junction of Interstate 26 & U.S. 19W-23 with U.S. 321 & Tennessee 67 (University Parkway) and possible Interstate 326 east. The exit represents the former southern terminus of Interstate 181, a designation decommissioned on August 5, 2003. Photo taken by Carter Buchanan (07/18/04). Perspective from U.S. 321 north U.S. 321 north & Tennessee 67 (University Parkway) east at the Interstate 26 eastbound on-ramp and the potential transition to Interstate 326. Photo taken by Alex Nitzman & Justin Cozart (08/23/03). Perspective from U.S. 321 south U.S. 321 south & Tennessee 67 west at Interstate 26 & U.S. 19W-23 east of downtown Johnson City. Interstate 326 will end here if designated. Photo taken by Alex Nitzman & Justin Cozart (08/23/03). Proposed Eastern Terminus #1 - Tennessee 359/Milligan Highway - Milligan College, Tennessee (current eastern end of freeway) This terminus location is just an approximation at the current time. Therefore the concept of trying to photograph the location is impractical and not requested at this time. Proposed Eastern Terminus #2 - U.S. 19E - Elizabethton, Tennessee (extend freeway east) This terminus location is just an approximation at the current time. Therefore the concept of trying to photograph the location is impractical and not requested at this time.
