Posting: TN 34 is completely unposted, though it was posted as a primary route on Anderson St between US 11E-19 and MLK Jr Blvd prior to US 421 being added to this stretch about 2011. TN 34 is considered primary throughout Secret US Route Overlay: US 11E (112.1 mi) US 421 (43.1 mi) Comment: TN 34 paired with US 11E is still a pretty major corridor even after interstate 81 was completed TN 34 between S. Holston Lake and Mountain City is quite gnarly and has not seen any alignment changes back to at least 1935. For the times TN 34 used State St in Bristol, TN 34 WB was in Virginia (likewise, VA 76 EB was in Tennessee). | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
