VA 50: Appeared in Aug 1928 (CTB) as a renumbering of VA 311, running from US 1/VA 31-39 Ashland through Hanover CH and Bowling Green before ending at US 17/VA 38 New Post near Fredericksburg.
In 1931, VA 50 was removed from today's SR 609/628 north of Bowling Green and also today's SR 745/668 loop at Wideawake. In each case VA 50 was moved to today's VA 2. In July 1933, VA 50 was renumbered as VA 54 from Ashland to Hanover CH and VA 2 from Hanover CH to New Post. VA 50's route today would be: VA 54; SR 1001 and SR 1002 in Hanover CH; US 301/VA 2 across the Pamunkey River; SR 651 to north of Dawn; SR 602 to Covingston Corner; SR 682; 3.5 miles of abandoned road; SR 601 Campbells Corner north to SR 654 east; SR 623; SR 627; SR 721; US 301/VA 2; SR 695; VA 2 through Bowling Green; SR 631 Farmers; VA 2 to New Post. Some 1932-33 commercial maps had VA 50 and VA 421 swap routings below Hanover CH but there are CTB references in mid-1933 that suggest this did NOT occur. |
