The Best deTOUR is Johnson City

The Tennessee Department of Transportation advises I-40 travelers from the west to take I-81 north to Johnson City, then I-26 east to Asheville, while travelers from the east will take I-26 west to Johnson City, then I-81 south to Knoxville.

The I-26 route may add approximately 50 minutes to the travel time, and is one of the nation’s only interstate Scenic Byways.

Johnson City welcomes you to take time to stay, eat, play and start your own adventure, while taking advantage of deTOUR discounts.
