Route description
SR 34 is mostly a secret, or hidden route as it mostly follows the routes of certain U.S. highways throughout its course. SR 34 begins with following U.S. Route 11E (Andrew Johnson Highway) on the east side of Knoxville. It continues to follow that U.S. route through Jefferson City and Morristown. Continuing to run concurrently with US 11E, SR 34 crosses I-81 and traverses Greeneville, Jonesborough, and then U.S. Route 19W joins in the concurrency starting with the I-26 Exit 20 interchange in Johnson City.
At Bluff City, US 19E merges with US 19W to make US 19 part of SR 34’s concurrency with US 11E until it reaches Bristol. Just short of the Virginia state line, SR 34 joins US 421 eastbound to cross Holston Lake, go through Mountain City, and terminate at the North Carolina state line near Trade.[1]
