Creation: Appeared as a new toll freeway in 1973 from VA 147 to VA 150. This is the 2nd VA 76.
| Adjustments: Extended to VA 288 around 1988-89. Posting: Fully posted Comment: The recommended route from I-95 to US 60 or US 360 West of Richmond | Previous VA 76's: |
VA 76 #1: Appeared in July 1933 as a replacement for VA 109. Ran from US 19-421 Bristol to US 11-19-58 NE of Bristol. This was downgraded to SR 895 in 1971-72.
VA 76Y: Appears on 1941 official map, but not 1938. It connected US 11-19-58 (curr VA 113) to VA 76 (curr SR 895) on Mary St. within Bristol. This was not a triangle situation. About half of this was part of mainline VA 76 in 1938 before it was rerouted. Still in place on my January 1961 Washington County map. However, Bristol insets disappeared from VDOT maps for many years after the early 40's, so I do not know how much longer this existed, but not past 1971-72. Today it carries no number. |

Creation: Appeared in July 1933 and is the only VA 80. It began as a 3 piece discontinuous route: 1. just off US 58 (curr VA 91) Lodi to N. Fork Holston River. 2. 4 miles South of Elk Garden to Buchanan-Dickenson county line 3. KY state line at Breaks to 5 miles SE of Haysi. Everything north of US 11 Meadowview was previously VA 111 #2. US 11 to near US 58 was new routing.
| Adjustments: Sections 1 and 2 became continuous and extended east to US 58 by July 1936. VA 80 became completely continuous in 1939. The section between Meadowview and Lodi was downgraded to SR 803 between 1948-51, leaving the current alignment. Posting: Fully posted Comment: Runs through Breaks Interstate Park, which touts itself as the Grand Canyon of the East. This is the longest MSR that has Virginia involved. |

Creation: Appeared in 1940-41 as a renumbering of VA 59 #2. This is the 2nd VA 83. Ran from 7 miles west of Pound to WV line, like today, except the section of Fremont to Haysi followed current VA 63.
| Adjustments: Between 1945-47, the section west of Pound was downgraded to SR 671. VA 83 between Fremont and Haysi was rerouted to new alignment in 1966, with the old version becoming part of today's VA 63. Posting: Fully posted; cutouts may still exist in Grundy; In October 2003 I found an error I-83 (white) shield on a green sign on US 460 EB approaching Grundy. Comments: Info on the Coalfields Expressway, which is planned to run through this area, can be found at Scott Kozel's site. | Previous VA 83's: | VA 83 #1: Appeared in July 1933 in 2 pieces: 1.

Creation: Appeared in July 1933 as a renumbering of the southern half of VA 301. This is the only VA 86. Began at US 29 (curr VA 293) Danville and went down to then-NC 14.
| Adjustments: In 1970, VA 86 was extende north across the Dan River to end at US 29-58 (US 29 used Piney Forest Rd from US 58 northward. In 1971, US 29 was rerouted to use VA 86's crossing of the Dan River, so VA 86 may have been truncated right then to today's US 29 Bus-VA 413 interchange. The 2001 and 2003 VDOT route logs show VA 86 ending at "ROUTE 29" Posting: Fully posted; In spring 2003 I noticed a VA 86 North END sign well north of the US 58 interchange. Comments: VA 86 in southern Danville is designated as a limited access route, with only a few driveways remaining. |
