Creation: US 220 Business for Roanoke looks to have been created about 1974 when the freeway carrying I-581/US 220 was extended south to Franklin Rd. Both the 1975 VDOT City Atlas and state officials up through 1994 show no primary route on Franklin Rd south of VA 116, a 1975 picture confirms 220 Business was signed downtown.
Adjustments:In Dec 1980 (CTB) US 220 Business was extended south when US 220 was placed on new expressway from Franklin St south to VA 419.
Improvements: Paved upon inception; Multilaned upon inception everywhere except between McClannahan St and US 221.
Posted: Fully posted, including mini white border shields in most places; A number of cutouts made it to the early 1990s.
