Creation: Appeared Nov 1969 when US 17 was placed on a new bypass around the west side of Fredericksburg and Falmouth. This is the 2nd US 17 Business.
Adjustments: The routing of US 17 Business was changed in the field to use Charles St from Dixon to US 1 Bus Lafayette. The old route slightly east is no longer numbered. This change has not been reflected in AASHTO or CTB as far as I can tell.
It is unclear as this writing whether the one-way splits already existed when US 17 Business was created.
Improvements: Paved upon inception; Multilane on US 1 duplex and from US 1 to I-95 in Stafford County, since inception.
Posted: Fully posted outside the City of Fredericksburg; Not posted at all on the US 1 Bus duplex and from the NB direction there is no indication 17 Business should follow 1 Business.
Multiplexes: VA 2 (5.40 mi)
US 1 Bus, VA 2 (0.44 mi)
US 1 Bus (0.76 mi)
US 1 (0.46 mi)
Legislative names: Washington-Rochambeau Route, Falmouth to New Post (since 2/20/75); Historyland Highways, Fredericksburg to New Post (5/26/53 designation predates US 17 Bus), Tidewater Trail, Fredericksburg to New Post (2/26/58 designation predates US 17 Bus)
Other names: Dixon St/Lafayette Blvd; Princess Anne St (SB); Sophia St (NB); Warrenton Rd (Falmouth)
Scenic Byway: no segments
Comment: This US 17 Business could easily be eliminated in favor of VA 2 and an extended VA 218.
Up until the early-2000s there was a posted US 17 TRUCK associated with this business route (and might go back to before mainline 17 was moved to I-95) that followed US 1, VA 3 Business and Kenmore Ave.
