Creation: US 460 Business for Blacksburg and Christiansburg started out as separate business routes for each town, Christiansburg appeared in Oct 1966 (CTB) and Blacksburg in Feb 1969 (CTB) when US 460 was placed on new freeway east of Christiansburg and expressway west of Blacksburg
Adjustments:
About 2001, US 460 Business was extended east along US 11 to its current end when US 460 was routed across US 11 to I-81 directly.
In 2002, the Blacksburg US 460 Business was extended south to VA 114.
In 2003, the two business routes were connected when the freeway connecting the two bypasses was completed.
Improvements: Paved upon inception; All multilaned except the northern 2 miles and a small section south of VA 412, since its inception.
Posted: Fully posted; several cutouts remained in Christiansburg until about 2013 and only 1 remains as of 2022.
US 460 Business is not well posted in Blacksburg except at its endpoints and not at all at VA 412.

Creation: US 460 Business for Lynchburg appeared in July 1976 (AASHTO) as a renumbering of VA 126, a duplex with US 29 Bus, new primary routing on Fort Ave, and a duplex with US 221 and US 501.
Adjustments: In 1981, US 460 Bus (with US 221 and US 501) was removed from a one-way split between 12th St and US 29 Lynchburg Expressway. WB traffic had been using Buchanan and either 14th or 15th St.
In Dec 1988 (AASHTO), US 460 Bus was extended southwest, replacing mainline US 460 which was moved to the existing VA 224 freeway.

Creation: US 460 Business for Petersburg appeared in Dec 1988 (AASHTO) when US 460 was placed on I-85 and I-95 in the area. Originally, the US 460 Bus eastern end was just southeast of the US 301 split, very close to I-95.
Adjustments: About 2007, US 460 Business was extended southeast to VA 106 when US 460 was re-routed to use Wagner Rd.
Improvements: Paved upon inception; US 460 Business was multilaned between I-85 and US 1 and also from the one-way splits near WCL Petersburg east back to US 460.
The Winfield Rd portion of US 460 Business is now a 2-lane road on the old 4-lane undivided pavement. I do not know if this regression came before or after the 460 Business designation.

Other names: Airport St (I-85 to US 1); Boydton Plank Rd (Dinwiddie County); Washington St (WB)/Wythe St (EB), Crater Rd, Winfield Rd (WB only), County Dr
Scenic Byway: no segments
Comment: The US 460 Bus EB route cannot turn left onto Winfield Rd from US 301 SB and instead must continue to I-95 SB ramps which has a ramp to what had been mainline US 460's route off I-95 onto County Dr. US 460 WB is much more direct to make this connection.
