VA 401 to 425  < 376 to 400 | Home | 426 to 499 >

From: SR 613 City of Alexandria southern boundary To: VA 420 City of Alexandria Total Length: 3 miles
ROUTE LOG SR 613: 0 - 0 FX-ALX LINE: 0 - 0 VA 236: 1 - 1 VA 420: 2 - 3		Creation: Appeared as a newly numbered route in 1982. Ran only as far north as VA 7. This is the 3rd VA 401. Adjustments: VA 401 was extended to VA 420 in 1986. Posted: Some reassurance markers exist, white border variety. Dan F reports in late August 2004 that a normal looking miniature 401 shield has appeared near Edsall Rd. Comment: Van Dorn St. from southern city limit of Alexandria to Seminary Rd.(VA 420).  VDOT atlas also implies northern leg of Kenmore Ave. connecting to Seminary Rd. is VA 401. Russ Blau says there are only 401 signs south of Duke St., although the route extends to Seminary Rd. Perhaps this explains the lack of signage on parts of 401 and 402, and all of 420.
Previous VA 401's:		VA 401 #1: Appeared in 1929. Was in 2 pieces: 1. VA 44 (curr VA 49) Victoria to Dundas. Victoria to Kenbridge had been part of VA 323. 2. NC line near Gasburg north to 5 miles north of VA 12 (curr US 58 Bus) Lawrenceburg. This was not previously numbered. In 1930-31, this became continuous, and VA 401 between Victoria and Kenbridge became VA 48. VA 401 was renumbered as VA 34 #2 in July 1933. Today it is all of VA 137, and all of VA 46 south of VA 46-137 jct. VA 401 #2: First mentioned in CTB Minutes in September 1957, as the route assigned to the Emporia Bypass. VA 401 was also in the October 1957 minutes describing a new route from US 1 Triangle to VA 350 Woodbridge. VA 401 was the assigned state route number to I-95. It was last mentioned in the CTB minutes in February 1987. VA 401 was not likely ever signed as such.

From: VA 420 City of Alexandria To: just short of I-395 Shirlington (City of Alexandria northern boundary) Total Length: 2 miles
ROUTE LOG VA 420: 0 - 0 VA 7: 1 - 1 AR-ALX LINE: 1 - 2		Creation: Appeared in 1982. This had not previously been numbered. Likely started out as VA 7 to I-395 only. This is the 3rd VA 402. Adjustments: VA 402 was extended south to VA 420 in 1986. Posting: There are 3 reassurance signs. All are on VA 402 NB, and all are north of VA 7. 2 of them are white border signs. Comment: North Quaker Lane. Perhaps it is significant that that part of VA 402 is on the city/county line: the northbound lanes are in Alexandria, and the southbound lanes are in Arlington.
Previous VA 402's:		VA 402 #1: Appeared in 1929 as a renumbering of VA 122 #2. Ran from US 1 Rawlings to VA 12 (curr US 58) Edgerton. VA 402 was renumbered as VA 140 in July 1933. Today it is SR 712. VA 402 #2: First appears in the March 1957 CTB Minutes, assigned to US 11 north of Buchanan towards Natural Bridge. In October 1957 it was also assigned to a new road around Seven Mile Ford. November 1957 it was assigned to a new road in the Pulaski area. VA 402 was the state route number for I-81. Though never posted, the last CTB mention of VA 402 was July 1988.

Originally ran from VA 165 Princess Anne Rd. to US 58 Virginia Beach Blvd. This is the 3rd VA 403. Adjustments: At some point (by 1991) VA 403 was extended north of US 58 to some indeterminate end point (Diamond Springs Rd?). The current VDOT route logs show US 58 as again its endpoint. Posting: Was fully posted at US 58 in the early 90's in both directions, but not identified at all from I-264/VA 44. A. Froehlig reports VA 403 is still posted at US 58 in 2005. Comment:Newtown Rd. VDOT atlas shows only VA 165 to US 58 as 403. In the early 90's, Newtown Rd. was misidentified in the field as VA 166 at Weslyan Dr.
Previous VA 403's:		VA 403 #1: Appeared in 1929 as a newly numbered route. Was a spur running south of VA 48 (curr VA 40) Victoria. In July 1933 this became part of VA 136. Today it is SR 635.

Previous VA 404's:		VA 404 #1: Appeared in 1929 as a newly numbered route. Began as a short stub south off VA 10 (curr US 360) Crewe. In 1930-31, VA 405 was expanded both directions to run from VA 44 (curr SR 723) near Victoria to US 60 (curr US 360) Jennings Ordinary. In July 1933, VA 404 was renumbered as part of VA 136. Today it is part of VA 49. VA 404 #2: Appears in the September 1957 CTB Minutes as a new road project around US 258 in Hampton. The December 1957 minutes show VA 404 also as a new road around US 17 Warwick. VA 404 became VA 168 in March 1958 (the Hampton Roads Bridge-Tunnel began as VA 168 earlier than this). Today this is all part of I-64.

ROUTE LOG US 29 Bus, VA 86: 0 - 0 VA 293: 1.5 - 1.5		Creation: Appeared in 1982. Not immediately previously numbered, but part of this was US 58 up to at least 1941. This is the 3rd VA 413.

VA 413 #2: First appeared in May 1957 CTB Minutes as the designation for all of Virginia's portion of the Capital Circumferential Highway. Oddly, it has "route 88" in parentheses in this entry. Although VA 413 was signed as I-495, it has appeared in the CTB minutes as late as 2001.

From: US 258 Mercury Blvd, City of Hampton To: VA 351 City of Hampton Total Length: ~2.2 miles
ROUTE LOG US 258: 0 - 0 VA 351: 2.2 - 2.2		Creation: Appeared in 1982 in its present form. This has never been a numbered route previously. This is the 2nd VA 415. Adjustments: None Posting: Fully posted; even posted on VA 152 as TO VA 415. Comment: Queen St. Blown off by I-664.

Originally ran from US 11 Salem to US 220 south of Roanoke. This is the 2nd VA 419. Adjustments: Between 1968-70, VA 419 was extended north of US 11 to its present end at VA 311 over mostly new routing, though it did replace the northernmost snippet of VA 116. In 1971 or 1972, VA 419 was rerouted between US 221 and US 220 such that 419 was one road end to end, eliminating a 1-mile multiplex with US 221. The old segment became SR 687.
