the final stretch of I-81 in
Tennessee to be completed, the 43-mile (69 km) section located between US 11E and SR 126 near Blountville, began on July 7, 1969, in the southern part of that county. The remaining Sullivan County portions were contracted for construction in December 1970 and March 1971, and sections in Washington and Greene Counties were let in November and December 1971. The last construction contract for I-81 in Tennessee, which was for the northernmost 5.8 miles (9.3 km) in Greene County, was awarded in March 1972. The opening of the 9.6-mile (15.4 km) stretch between SR 126 and US 11W in Bristol was announced on December 23, 1972. Once all remaining construction began, completion of I-81 in Tennessee was expected by late 1973, but was delayed by the
1824:(AASHTO). Exit numbers were based on US 23 mileage, which at the time was in the process of being upgraded to a freeway to the North Carolina state line. On August 5, 2003, AASHTO approved extending I-26 west into Tennessee, replacing I-181 from Johnson City to I-81. They ruled against an extension of the I-26 designation along the remainder of I-181 to Kingsport, however, since federal guidelines usually require mainline Interstate Highways to end at a junction with another Interstate Highway, an international border, or a seacoast. TDOT had proposed to renumber that stretch as I-126, but rescinded that proposal later that year. The
