US 60 ALT #1: Mentioned as early as July 1938 (CTB), running on Virginia Ave (now Warwick) from 34th to 25th then east on 25th to Jefferson.
US 60 ALT was renumbered as mainline US 60 in Sept 1961 (CTB). The only Official map to show this explicitly was ironically enough the 1961 issue. It is in the 1958 VDOT County Atlas and erroneously shown on the 1963 Esso map of Hampton Roads.
