List of former primary state highways in Virginia (Hampton Roads District)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The following is a list of former primary state highways completely or mostly within the Hampton Roads District (VDOT District 5[1]), formerly the Suffolk District, of the U.S. state of Virginia.
State Route 88 was a primary state highway in the U.S. state of Virginia. The number was assigned in the 1940 renumbering to replace part of State Route 32, and SR 88 was transferred to the secondary system in 1943 and 1948. SR 88 ran from Branchville via Emporia to Purdy along current State Route 730 and part of State Route 619; SR 32 had continued east from Branchville to Boykins along State Route 195 and east from Purdy past Jarratt along State Route 608, State Route 139, and State Route 631.
State Route 397, a spur from SR 39 (now US 60) to SR 391 (now SR 238),[10] was added to the state highway system in 1926.[11] It became State Route 519 in the 1928 renumbering[12] and State Route 174 in the 1933 renumbering.[5] The U.S. government took possession of the portion east of SR 168 (now SR 143) in 1952,[13] and in 1966 the remainder (now lying within the city of Newport News) was abandoned, since it had been destroyed by the construction of I-64.[14]
State Route 177 extended along current SR 764, SR 763, and SR 673 from US 13 (now US 13 Business) in Accomac via Greenbush to SR 176 and SR 316 in Parksley. 3 miles (4.8km) at the south end was added to the state highway system in 1932, with no number given,[15] and became SR 177 in the 1933 renumbering.[5] The rest of the route was added in 1938,[16] but only four years later this extension, as well as the remainder north of Greenbush, was downgraded to secondary[17] in favor of the shorter parallel SR 316. The remaining segment from Accomac to Greenbush was downgraded in 1959.[18]
State Route 184 followed current secondary SR 606 from US 13 in Nassawadox northwest to Middletown and SR 618 southwest to Franktown. 1⁄2 mile (0.80km) at the east end became State Route 527 in 1930,[19] and the remainder was added in 1932.[20] SR 527 became SR 184 in the 1933 renumbering,[5] and in 1953 it was downgraded to secondary[21] as extensions of existing SR 606 and SR 618.[22]
The Virginia Ferry Corporation opened a new terminal near Kiptopeke in 1949, rerouting its Little Creek-Cape Charles Ferry service from the old dock (leased from the Pennsylvania Railroad) at Cape Charles.[28] The state improved what was then SR 652, from SR 186 west of Capeville south to the new terminal, to primary standards, and realigned SR 186 near its north end to follow a more direct route.[29] The completed upgrade of SR 652 was transferred to the primary system in 1951 as a rerouted US 13,[30] and later that year the parts of SR 186 that had not become US 13 were downgraded to secondary[31] as an extension of existing SR 600[22] and new SR 683 and SR 684. (The Chesapeake Bay Bridge-Tunnel approach was later built next to the old railroad through Kiptopeke.)
State Route 188 extended northeast along current SR 607 (and its former alignment, now SR 758) from US 60 at Norge to SR 606 at Croaker.[32] It was added to the state highway system in 1932, with no number given,[33] became SR 188 in the 1933 renumbering,[5] and was downgraded to secondary in 1944[34] as an extension of existing SR 607.[32]0.4 miles (0.64km) at I-64 was re-added to the primary system in 1965 (effective once I-64 was complete) as part of SR 168Y (now SR 30).[35]
State Route 190 followed Blackwater Road and Pungo Ferry Road from Fentress Airfield Road (former SR 165) near North Landing south and east to Princess Anne Road (former SR 615) near Creeds. The former route is now entirely within the cities of Chesapeake and Virginia Beach.
Two segments of State Route 536 were created in 1930, extending south from SR 502 (later SR 165) almost to the Pocaty River and from the county line at the Pocaty River for 0.4 miles (0.64km).[36][37] The 1⁄4 mile (0.40km) gap at the Pocaty River was filled in 1932, and a 5.2 miles (8.4km) extension was added at the south end.[38][39] SR 536 became SR 190 in the 1933 renumbering,[5] and in October 1933 it was extended another 1.4 miles (2.3km), taking it across the North Landing River to SR 615.[40][41] SR 190 was downgraded to secondary SR 726[citation needed] in 1952, effective once the new Pungo Ferry Bridge (which replaced Pungo Ferry) was complete,[42] which happened in 1954.[citation needed]
State Route 192 followed Kings Highway (now SR 125) and Crittenden Road from SR 10 at Chuckatuck northeast down the neck of land between Chuckatuck Creek and the Nansemond River in the direction of US 17 near Crittenden (where secondary State Route 628 ended) and Eclipse. The route is now entirely within the city of Chesapeake.
The first 1.4 miles (2.3km) were added to the state highway system in 1931 as State Route 541,[43] which was extended 2.1 miles (3.4km) in 1932[44] and became SR 192 in the 1933 renumbering.[5] It was extended another 0.8 miles (1.3km) in October 1933,[45] ending 2.2 miles (3.5km) short of US 17 (about midway between Sandy Bottom and Hobson),[46] and downgraded to secondary in 1947[47] as an extension of existing SR 628.[46] A short piece at the Chuckatuck end (which had become SR 630 rather than SR 628[48]) was returned to the primary system in 1963 as part of SR 125.[49] The former secondary route system of Nansemond County was transferred to the city of Suffolk on July 1, 2006, resulting in the SR 628 designation being dropped.
State Route 193 followed Ballahack Road from former US 17 (Dismal Swamp Canal Trail) south of Wallaceton to former SR 170 (Old Battlefield Boulevard) at Northwest, now entirely within the city of Chesapeake. It was added to the state highway system in 1932, as State Route 543,[50] became SR 193 in the 1933 renumbering,[5] and was downgraded to secondary SR 740 in 1945.[51] The road no longer has a state route number, since the city of Chesapeake maintains its own streets.
State Route 196 ran northeast from SR 31 near the border of Wakefield along what is now secondary SR 617 to about 1 mile (1.6km) short of Walls Bridge over the Blackwater River in the direction of Runnymede and Bacons Castle.[55] It was added to the state highway system in 1932[56] as State Route 546,[57] and became SR 196 in the 1933 renumbering.[5] In 1942 the route was downgraded to secondary.[58]
State Route 285 ran along present secondary SR 641 (Penniman Road), southeast for 1 mile (1.6km) from the US 60 bypass around Williamsburg.[32] It was added to the primary state highway system in 1933,[59] initially running east from US 60 near Quarterpath Road and crossing the Chesapeake and Ohio Railway's Peninsula Subdivision at a grade crossing, but a new alignment was built on the north side of the tracks[60] and the mile of approved road was reapplied such that only about 1⁄10 mile (0.16km) of the preexisting Penniman Road was included in SR 285. The route was downgraded to secondary in 1943[61] as an extension of existing SR 641.[32]
State Route 286 ran along present secondary SR 713 (Waller Mill Road), northeast for 1 mile (1.6km) from the US 60 bypass around Williamsburg.[32] It was added to the primary state highway system in 1933,[62] initially beginning at Richmond Road (the pre-bypass US 60) and crossing over the Chesapeake and Ohio Railway's Peninsula Subdivision on a bridge, but portion this was abandoned when the new bypass was completed[60] and the full mile of mileage was used north of the bypass.[32] SR 286 was downgraded to secondary in 1942[63] as an extension of existing SR 604[32] (now SR 713).
State Route 288 ran along a small portion of present secondary SR 695 from US 13 at Temperanceville northwest to the former New York, Philadelphia and Norfolk Railroad at Makemie Park.[64] It was added to the primary state highway system in 1933, described as going towards Saxis Island,[65] and downgraded to secondary in 1947[66] as an extension of existing SR 695.[64] The US 13 intersection has since been relocated to the north.
The first piece was created in 1928 as State Route 508 from Courtland to Ivor.[67] In 1930 it was extended northeast from Ivor for 3.25 miles (5.23km),[68] and in 1932 a further 1.65 miles (2.66km) were tacked on, along with 3.88 miles (6.24km) at the Smithfield end.[69] This put the final endpoints on either end of the gap at 1⁄2 mile (0.80km) short of Johnson Corner (the SR 621 intersection)[52] and 1⁄2 mile (0.80km) short of Septa (the SR 678 intersection).[2]
SR 508 became State Route 33 in the 1933 renumbering,[5] but when US 33 came to Virginia in 1937,[citation needed] it was renumbered 312. The different portions were downgraded to secondary in 1942 (northeast from Ivor), 1943 (northwest from Smithfield), and 1951 (Courtland to Ivor).[70] Existing SR 616 and SR 626[2][52] were extended onto the former segments of SR 312.
State Route409 was the designation for the 3.08-mile (4.96km) segment of Providence Road in Virginia Beach between Military Highway (US13) and Kempsville Road (SR190) from 1981 to 2011. Providence Road had been designated Secondary State Route602 before the 1963 consolidation of Princess Anne County and Virginia Beach. SR409 was created from city-maintained mileage in March 1981 along with several other 4XX-numbered roads in the city.[72] The route was decommissioned in January 2001 along with many of those same routes[73] and reverted to the city. The route was largely unsigned during its existence.
