The Washington County project was completed on March 21, 1927, and the Sullivan County project on January 11, 1928. A project to grade and drain the 6.3-mile (10.1 km) section of SR 36 in Unicoi County between the North Carolina state line and Ernestville was let on December 11, 1925, and completed on September 10, 1927. Grading and drainage of the 9.4-mile (15.1 km) section between Erwin and the Carter County line was let on December 17, 1926, and finished on April 7, 1928. Paving of this stretch was let on March 30, 1928, and completed on June 20, 1929. Paving of the southernmost 3.1 miles (5.0 km) in Carter County was let on June 15, 1928, and completed on November 20 of that year. A contract to pave the 10-mile (16 km) section between the Sullivan–Washington county line and Johnson City was awarded on June 27, 1930, and work was completed on December 22 of that year. The final section in Tennessee to be paved, the 10.8-mile (17.4 km) section between Kingsport and the Virginia state line, was let to contract on February 20, 1931, and opened to traffic on July 8, 1931. Final construction activities were completed seven days later, and the highway was dedicated by then-Governor

awarded for the section between north of I-81 and SR 93, and between SR 354 (Boones Creek Road) near Johnson City and SR 75. The section between north of I-81 and SR 93 was declared complete on December 6, 1970. On January 9, 1971, the segment between SR 354 and SR 75 was opened. Construction on the 0.9-mile (1.4 km) section through the interchange with I-81 began on July 7, 1969, and work on the section between US 11E/US 19W (North Roan Street) in Johnson City and SR 354 commenced four months later. On November 17, 1972, two separate sections were opened; the short stretch through the interchange with I-81, and the segment between SR 381 in Johnson City and SR 354. The one-mile (1.6 km) section in Johnson City between US 11E/US 19W and SR 381 was completed in early 1973. The segment to the south between SR 400 (Unaka Avenue, Watauga Avenue) and US 11E/US 19W was awarded on December 17, 1971, and the adjacent section from SR 91 (Market Street) to SR 400 was contracted on April 27, 1973; both sections opened on July 1, 1975.

The second part of the Erwin Bypass, between SR 81/SR 107 and north of Main Street, opened on January 29, 1982. In Kingsport, the section between US 11W and the Virginia state line was contracted on January 5, 1981, and dedicated and opened on November 17, 1983. Contracts were awarded for the stretch between Main Street in Erwin and Plymouth Road south of Johnson City in April 1981 and January 1982, and the stretch was dedicated and opened by then-Governor 1328: 1114:. An extension of US 23 was established by AASHO on May 26, 1930, with a complete concurrency with the road from the North Carolina state line at Spivey Gap to the Virginia state line in Kingsport. That same day, US 19W was established concurrent with the route from North Carolina to north of Johnson City. Signs were posted later that year. The road between Sam's Gap and US 19W/US 23 in Ernestville was designated as an extension of SR 81 in 1938. On June 8, 1951, AASHO approved a request by the 1178:

The section was opened to northbound traffic on October 23, 1978, and to southbound traffic the following day, after nearly 16 months of delays. Work on the stretch between SR 93 and US 11W (West Stone Drive) in Kingsport began on December 12, 1977, and the stretch was dedicated and opened on November 13, 1981. This project proved to be one of the most complex highway projects along the route, requiring nearly 2.8 million cubic yards (2.1

AASHTO initially 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

Although the route had come to be referred to as the new alignment for US 23 before construction began, it was not until June 28, 1982, that AASHTO approved rerouting US 23 onto the freeway from its original alignment with SR 36. This formed a concurrency with SR 137. On December 4, 1985, the stretch between I-81 and US 11W in Kingsport was renumbered as 2616: 2374: 2330: 2183: 2075: 1958: 1909: 1843: 1799: 1722: 561: 543: 935: 2508: 2219: 2043: 1196: 1078: 1511:) by the FHWA. The I-181 designation was formally approved and extended south to US 321/SR 67 in Johnson City by AASHTO on June 9, 1986. Both these redesignations replaced SR 137 but kept the US 23 designation, and exits were numbered according to US 23's mileage. This reduced SR 137 to its present-day designation between US 11W and the Virginia state line, all within Kingsport. 1342: 2428: 1589: 2561: 2447: 2152: 290: 188: 2628: 2362: 2004: 1793: 510: 495: 477: 312: 255: 2555: 2534: 2502: 2441: 2109: 1952: 1787: 1703: 1602: 1229:
