VA 45 initial route 1929 Official

VA 45 extended to VA 13 1931 Official

VA 45 extended to Farmville 1933 Official

In July 1940 (CTB), VA 45 was extended south from 3rd St to US 15 High St, replacing a bit of US 460.
In Nov 1940, the CTB adopted a proposal to reroute US 15 from Dillwyn to Farmville using roughly the path followed by SRs 632/634 to Browns Store, then replacing VA 45 south to Farmville. This would've truncated VA 45 to Browns Store.
In Aug 1941 (CTB), the funding allocated to relocate US 15 from Dillwyn to Farmville was withdrawn, sparing the shortening of VA 45.
In April 1949 (CTB), VA 45 was rerouted to use only US 60 west to Cumberland CH. Until now, it had dipped south of US 60 to VA 13 then west back to US 60. This left behind SR 684 and some VA 13.

I believe that VA 45 was removed from SR 1007 W. Osborn Rd north of Farmville between 1953-58.
By 1958, US 60/VA 45 was removed from SR 616 west of Cumberland CH.
Sometime after 1995, US 15 Business was removed from High St and instead continued up Main St to 3rd St, US 460 Business. This made VA 45's south end move back to 3rd St.
Improvements:  VA 45 was paved in its entirety in 1932.
In 1981, VA 45 was widened from Cumberland CH west to the US 60 WB split
