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)
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)
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)
Does anyone have access to the latest list of control cities as published by the AASHTO? The only "free" list I could find is here, but it hasn't been updated since 2004. Specifically, we're looking to see if Kingsport and/or Johnson City in Tennessee are listed. Kingsport is a "terminating" city, and should be on the list, but we need confirmation. Also, Johnson City is listed on distance signs on I-26 north (west) of Asheville, but some of these signs predate I-26 to when it was solely designated as US 19-23. Furthermore, parts of the interstate between Asheville and Mars Hill are still not up to interstate standards and are still marked as "Future I-26," so the Johnson City control city distance signs may not be authoritative. ++ Arx Fortis ( talk) 18:55, 5 August 2008 (UTC)
Can anyone provide more information about the elevation where I-26 crosses the Eastern Continental Divide? Google Earth indicates that the elevation is 3,821 feet (plus or minus a bit) at the Flag Pond Road exit on the NC-TN border, which I think follows the divide. If this is the correct elevation, then this is (best I can tell) the highest point on an Interstate east of the Mississippi. The article on I-80 identifies it as having the highest such point, and there is a sign on the highway, but, unless I'm wrong by more than 1,500 feet, the I-80 sign and article are wrong.

I see that there is a Interstate 26 in South Carolina article, but Tennessee and North Carolina are still together on the main article. Should we go ahead and separate the other two states or should South Carolina join back in the fold and simply have one article for all three states? -- WashuOtaku ( talk) 00:45, 24 November 2011 (UTC)

The entire Interstate Highway is short enough that one article could sufficiently cover the route and not be too long. See Interstate 24 for precedent and WP:USRD/3STATE for guidance. – Fredddie ™ 04:04, 23 September 2018 (UTC)
The description says that I-26 is a main route of the Interstate Highway System, but since when was it ever a "main route"? NintendoTTTEfan2005 ( talk) 07:08, 28 October 2023 (UTC)
