Various intersections in johnson city - signalization

Summary

The Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) awarded $100,000 to the Tennessee Department of Transportation under the Surface Transportation Block Grant Program (CFDA 20.287) on November 12, 2025, for traffic signal upgrades and installation at multiple intersections in Johnson City, Tennessee. The project, with an ultimate completion date of October 1, 2027, will upgrade existing signals at six intersections—Sid Martin Road at Bobby Hicks Highway (SR 75), Greenline Road at Peoples Street, East Market Street at South Roan Street, Walnut Street at South Roan Street, Maple Street at South Roan Street, and Pine Street at South Roan Street—by installing mast arms for improved visibility, new cabinets and controllers with battery backup, enhanced detection systems, and fiber-optic interconnectivity. Additionally, the project includes installation of a new traffic signal at Gray Station Road/Shadden Road at Suncrest Drive (SR 75).

The project advances the STBG program's objective of providing flexible funding for transportation infrastructure preservation and improvement on Federal-aid highways. These signal modernization upgrades will enhance traffic safety, operational efficiency, and system integration through contemporary detection and communication technologies across the Johnson City corridor.
