Washington County, TN – Drivers in Washington County should prepare for heavier-than-usual traffic on Highway 107 Tuesday afternoon, Sept. 16, as a local high school event brings more vehicles to the area.
According to the Washington County Sheriff’s Office, traffic is expected to increase significantly between 2 p.m. and 8 p.m. due to a David Crockett High School cross country meet at Fender’s Farm. The event, which was recently rescheduled because of weather, is expected to draw large crowds of students, families, and spectators.
Officials are urging motorists to plan ahead and allow extra time if traveling on Highway 107 during the six-hour window. While no lane closures are planned, congestion is likely in both directions, especially near the entrance to Fender’s Farm.
The Sheriff’s Office recommends drivers consider alternate routes to avoid delays. Law enforcement will be present in the area to help manage traffic flow and ensure safety for both drivers and pedestrians.
Residents and commuters in Washington County, including those traveling from nearby Johnson City and Jonesborough, may feel the impact.
