I-81 speed limit drops in east Tennessee
By Jill Dunn
Tennessee will reduce speeds in Sullivan County to decrease air-polluting emissions. The affected area includes I-81 from Kingsport to Bristol on the Virginia border, as well as portions of U.S. 421 toward Mountain City and U.S. 23 toward Asheville, N.C.
State transportation workers hope to begin posting the new signs Feb. 5. The speed limit will be decreased from 70 mph for all vehicles to 55 mph for trucks and 65 mph for other vehicles. The Highway Patrol will issue only warnings the first two weeks.
