VA 121 #1 1925 Official

VA 121 #2 (which did not actually make it to Fries) early 1928 Official

VA 121 #3: Appeared Aug 1928 as a renumbering of VA 1141 from Pound to Georges Fork and VA 114 from Georges Fork to Haysi. VA 121 continued east as an upgrade to CR 2 east to the Buchanan County line. A second piece of VA 121 was created as an upgrade to CRs 1 and 3 from VA 126 (now US 460) Grundy east through Stacy to West Virginia.
In Dec 1930 (CTB), VA 121 was extended north with VA 120 (now US 23 Bus) from Pound a bit, then west 5 miles, as an upgrade to CR 24. Also, VA 121 was extended south from Grundy with (or possibly replaced) VA 126 to Tookland (1928-31 officials strongly suggest this), then west 9.58 miles along today's SR 617 and (no longer connects to) SR 604 as new primary routing to the Prater area.
In June 1931 (CTB), the two pieces of VA 121 were connected.
The 1932 Official shows VA 121 leaving VA 126 at Van Sant instead of Tookland.
In July 1933, VA 121 was renumbered as VA 59. Today it is SR 671 west of Pound; a bit of US 23 Bus in Pound; VA 83 east which has been totally rebuilt in the Meade to Georges Fork area: abandoned alignments west of SR 623, SR 853 Red Onion Rd; abandoned alignments east of VA 361; SR 766; SR 765 Longs Fork Rd in the Georges Fork-Clintwood area; VA 83 from Clintwood to Fremont; abandoned but standing bridge over the Clinch River in Fremont; VA 63 from Fremont to Haysi; VA 83 from Haysi to West Virginia except VA 121 used SR 1003 Walnut St.

VA 122 #1 1923 Official

VA 122 #2 1925 Official

VA 122 #3: Appeared in Aug 1928 as a renumbering of part of VA 114, running from VA 121 (now SR 865) Georges Fork south to VA 11 (now VA 158) Coeburn, then after a duplex with VA 11 through Coeburn, VA 122 was assigned to replace Wise CR 20 and Scott SR 4 to Dungannon, then replace CR 1 southeast to today's VA 71. This was about 14 miles. However, the Aug 1928 CTB assigned "20.22 miles in the direction of Dungannon, Hartsock, Nicholsville (sic), Snowflack (sic), Gate City." VA 107 (predecessor to VA 71) was assigned to run 4.8 miles past the endpoint of the 20.22 miles, and also separately to run 1.5 miles from Hartsock east to the Russell County Line. So at least initially, VA 122 ran to close to Snowflake. The 1931 Route Log shows VA 122 ending at VA 107 east of Nickelsville. It is not known whether VA 122 was immediately renumbered as part of VA 72. It is still VA 72 in Wise County except in Coeburn it used Quellin Ave to head south; In Scott County, VA 122 followed VA 72 to Dungannon, then VA 65-72 to the curve just south of SR 1007, then crossed the RR onto Emmet St which curls around to Washington St which used to cross the Clinch River, then VA 122 used SR 659 east to VA 65, then SR 774 southeast to VA 71.

VA 122 #3 1929 Official

VA 122Y?: The 1936 Wise County shows what was likely VA 72Y at the current VA 72-158 split in western Coeburn. The 1932 Wise County map does not show the area clearly enough to tell if VA 122Y preceeded it until July 1933. The triangle setup is gone today, but it looks like mainline VA 72 follows what would've been the Y designation.

VA 123 replaces VA 9 1941-42 Official

Adjustments: In Aug 1956 (CTB), VA 123 was removed from today's Old Chain Bridge Rd just east of VA 309 in McLean and put on Chain Bridge Rd. This was a route swap with SR 1820. Part of the old route is today the path of modern 123 Dolley Madison Blvd.
In Nov 1963 (CTB), VA 123 was placed on new construction in the McLean and Langley areas onto today's Dolley Madison Blvd. The old routes were not removed formally from the primary system until 1968 (OSR 123?) but eventually left behind SRs 3547 and 3563, plus an extended VA 193.

In April 1967 (CTB), VA 123 was removed from Occoquan Rd and placed on newly constructed Gordon Blvd (providing an interchange with I-95), then it used today's SR 1203 into Occoquan. Occoquan Rd became VA 253 (now SR 906).
Around 1975, VA 123 was removed from the town of Occoquan altogether, leaving behind Prince William SR 1203 and Fairfax SR 722.

Around 1994, VA 123 was rebuilt below today's SR 7100 for a couple miles, leaving behind OSR 123 Old Ox Rd.
Around 2006, VA 123 was rebuilt above the old Lorton prison area, leaving behind another substantial segment of Old Ox Rd.
Improvements:  Paved at time of inception
VA 123 was first multilaned on its Dolley Madison Blvd alignment in 1963.
VA 123 was multilaned further west to Vienna in 1966.
VA 123 was multilaned on its new Gordon Blvd alignment in 1967 to SCl Occoquan.
VA 123 was multilaned from Vienna to US 29-50 in 1974.
VA 123 was multilaned from VA 383 south to SR 620 in 1979.
In 1983 or 1984, VA 123 was widened from SR 620 to Fairfax Station.
About 1994, VA 123 was widened from VA 383 to VA 236; also from Fairfax Station south to SR 645.
Around 2005, VA 123 was widened from SR 645 to about SR 636.
Around 2006, VA 123 was widened from SR 636 to SR 722.
In 2007, VA 123 was widened from SR 722 across the Occoquan River to SR 1203.
The only 2-lane segments of VA 123 remaining are between VA 236 and US 29-50; GW Pkwy to DC Line
VA 123 is 6-8 lanes from SR 684 International Dr to VA 267.
Posted:  Fully posted; circle 123 signs back to at least 1995 in Fairfax City; circle 123 sign on SR 610 back to at least 2002; white border shields at the VA 243 intersection; US 123 shield existed briefly at US 1 in early 2000s; last known cutout removed from SR 645 EB; in 2004 Dan F observed presumably posted signs by George Mason University that had trailblazers for I-66 and I-495 as well as a VA 123N shield and a VA 123S shield (which denoted north and south). All the shields looked normal and used Federal Highway fonts, though they were white-on-maroon (maroon or green) to match the GMU sign.

Comment: VA 123 is a heavily traveled route in Northern Virginia with almost no rural areas left.
Oddly, VA 123 turns left at VA 120 to access the Chain Bridge. I'm guessing this is so because VA 123 is Chain Bridge Rd through northern Fairfax County.

VA 123 #1: Appeared in May 1923 (CTB) as an upgrade to CR 11,running from VA 12 (curr US 58) Mouth of Wilson south to the NC Line. In Sept 1924 (CTB), the route for VA 123 was set to the "Charlton Survey" which was across the New River southeast. Early maps suggested VA 123 connected to NC 68 (old NC 16 routing) but it would not have used VA 16 or SR 858 because VA 12 actually was running that way. So VA 123 may have used SR 767. In Aug 1928, VA 123 was renumbered as VA 129. Today it is parts of SRs 716 and 838 (ferry over New River is gone), plus most of VA 93.

VA 123 #2: Appeared in Aug 1928 as a renumbering of VA 113, running from VA 11 (now US 58 ALT) St. Paul north to Dante, then extended north 3.2 miles to the Dickenson line. A second piece was created as an upgrade to CR 3, running from VA 121 (now SR 865) Fremont south 7.11 miles.
In Aug 1929 (CTB), the northern piece of VA 123 was extended south 3 miles.
In June 1930 (CTB), the northern piece of VA 123 was extended south 4.65 miles.
In 1932, VA 123 was extended southeast with VA 11, then west replacing VA 124 to 5.6 miles past Dungannon.
In June 1932, VA 123 was extended southwest 10.11 miles towards Natural Tunnel, ending at the present SR 649 bridge over Cove Creek west of Duncan Mill.
In July 1933, VA 123 was renumbered as VA 70. Today this is Scott SR 649 east to VA 65 to Dungannon. VA 123 left VA 65-72 at the curve just north of SR 1010, then crossed the RR (no crossing now) onto Emmet St which curls around to Washington St which used to cross the Clinch River, then VA 123 used SR 659 east to VA 65. VA 123 used SR 683 in northeastern Scott County, but used VA 65 east to SR 828 to US 58 ALT, then north to St. Paul (used SR 811 loop), 4th Av (NOT VA 270), then VA 63 north to SR 663 except for SR 769 near Dante; SR 652 loop through Stratton.

Comment:  VA 125 makes no sense as a disconnected state highway. This should either be decommissioned or at least permanently rerouted to run along SR 628 to US 17.

VA 125 #1: Appeared in July 1924 (CTB), running from VA 10 (now US 11) Cedarville southeast 5 miles towards Rock Springs Church. Up to late 1923 this had actually been the routing of VA 12. In Aug 1925 (CTB), VA 125 was extended north 1.1 miles to Meadowview Station and extended south 1.3 miles towards Rock Spring Church. In Aug 1928 (per Feb 1930 CTB), VA 125 from Cedarville southeast to Rock Spring Church was removed from the state highway system by act of legislature (in exchange for VA 112 being established from Old Glade Spring to Lodi). The road became secondary for a time before being placed back into the primary system in 1932 as part of VA 111. Today it is SR 803. The portion from Cedarville to Meadowview became part of VA 111 (now VA 80).

VA 125 #1 1925 Official

VA 125 #2: Appeared Aug 1928 as a renumbering of VA 118 running from US 19/VA 11 (now Old Rosedale Hwy) Rosedale north to Council. It was hen extended northwest as new routing 3.18 miles.
In Dec 1930 (CTB), a separate piece of VA 125 was born as an upgrade to CR 2, running from VA 121 (now VA 63) Haysi south 3.52 miles; also VA 125 was extended along VA 121 east a bit, then north as new routing 1.94 miles towards Breaks Interstate Park.
In June 1931 (CTB), the Haysi piece was extended south 1.18 miles towards Council.
In 1932, VA 125 was renumbered as an extended VA 111. Today, it is part of VA 80 except: The route from Honaker south to the Holston River ran to the west of today's VA 80 using a bit of SR 672 and Clover Rd but is mostly not a road today.

VA 125 #2 expanded to Haysi 1931 Official

VA 125 #3: Appeared in July 1933 as a renumbering of VA 300 running from US 29/VA 14 (now VA 293) Schoolfield over to US 58/VA 12 (now VA 51) in the Westover area
In Nov 1940 (CTB), VA 125 was rerouted to replace SR 739 north to US 29 north of Danville. The northernmost mile of this was taken into the primary system in July 1940 (CTB) but what number it was assigned is a mystery. The segment over to US 58 Westover became VA 125Y?
By July 1941, VA 125 was renumbered as US 29 ALT from the Dan River north to US 29 (now US 29 Bus and Piedmont Dr). VA 125 was reduced to running from US 29 ALT at the dan River Bridge northwest to US 58 Westover (replaced 125Y?). South of the river was also made part of US 29 ALT (which has since been rerouted - VA 125 used Bishop Rd originally.)
In May 1946 (CTB), SR 1145 was placed into the Primary Highway System, running between US 29 (now VA 293) and US 29 ALT (now US 29 Bus) in the Schoolfield area. This was almost certainly an extension of VA 125 south.
VA 125 disappeared from official maps in 1954 and I can find no CTB reference to decommission it. Today it is Park Ave and Dan View Dr below VA 51; Piedmont Dr over the Dan River; US 29 Bus east to Park Ave (may have used Park Cir?) south to VA 293 Main St.

VA 125Y ?: For a few months in 1940-41, VA 125 was rerouted north of the Dan River along roughly Piedmont Drive and US 29 Bus. This left Park Ave/Dan View Dr which was not decommissioned. Best guess this was briefly VA 125Y before being returned to mainline VA 125 when US 29 ALT was designated.

VA 126 #1: Appeared in Aug 1928 as a renumbering of VA 111, running from VA 121 (now SR 1003) Grundy southeast to US 19/VA 11 Claypool Hill. In Dec 1930 (CTB), VA 121 was extended south to Tookland, then west along today's SR 617. VA 126 may have been truncated to this location: The '32 Buchanan County map shows no duplex while the '31 Route log says VA 126 ended in Grundy. In July 1932 (CTB), VA 126 was extended west 6.3 miles toward the Kentucky line as an upgrade to CR 2. In July 1933 (CTB), VA 126 was renumbered as VA 84. Today it is US 460 and US 460 Bus through Cedar Bluff; Edgewater Dr; US 460 Bus through Richlands; VA 67/SR 751/SR 806 through Raven; SRs 804/805 Red Ash; SR 727 Grimleysville; SR 721 in Keen Mountain/Marvin; SRs 759 and 1013 in Janney; SR 725 in Tookland. There are innumerable abandoned alignments of US 460 on the big curves following various mountain streams.

VA 126 #1 1929 Official

VA 126 #2: Appeared in July 1933 as a 2-piece route -
1. US 501 Volens west to VA 40 Cody (renumbering of VA 303).
2. US 501 Gladys southwest towards Long Island (renumbering of VA 323).
In Aug 1933 (CTB), piece 2 was extended south over SR 670 to the Pittsylvania County line below Long Island.
In Feb 1937 (CTB), VA 40 was rebuilt in the Cody area, and VA 126 was shifted east onto new alignment to meet VA 40 a little east of Cody, leaving behind SR 668.

VA 126 shifted east. VA 126Y created? 1940 Halifax County

In May 1943 (CTB), Piece 1 was downgraded to SR 603. Also, Piece 2 was truncated on its south end to SR 699 near Gladys, leaving behind SR 761.
In April 1944 (CTB), the remaining bit of VA 126 was downgraded to SR 761.
Note that the 1933 Route log says VA 126 followed VA 40 briefly and then north to Long Island. Best guess is that SR 668 was in line to become VA 126 at some point but that did not happen.

VA 126 greatly reduced 1944 Official

VA 126 #3: Created in Nov 1948 (CTB) as a renumbering of part of VA 128. Ran from US 460 (now US 221) east along Graves Mill Rd to end at VA 297 (now US 460 Bus).
In Aug 1964 (CTB), VA 126 east was extended over new freeway construction over to US 29.
In Oct 1964 (CTB), VA 126 was removed from the new freeway which became part of VA 297 (today it is US 501). VA 126 unstead was extended to replace VA 297 on Fort Ave from Graves Mill Rd to US 29 (now VA 163). This reversal of 126 on the freeway was because 297 was considered an arterial route coming from Bedford and should therefore be continued over the new freeway.
In July 1976 (CTB), VA 126 east was truncated to its original ending. Fort Ave north to Wards Rd became part of US 460 Bus.
In Sept 1977 (CTB), VA 126 was decommissioned within the City of Lynchburg, leaving behind Graves Mill Rd.
In Sept 1979 (CTB), the 0.26 miles of VA 126 remaining in Bedford County off US 221 were downgraded to SR 1425.
The last Official map to explicitly show VA 126 was 1976.

VA 126Y ?: May have been created Feb 1937 when VA 126 was rerouted at Cody. It would've been the eastern leg of the wye at VA 40.
If this existed it was decommissioned in May 1943 when VA 126 was downgraded to SR 603.
Today this is the mainline SR 603 approach to VA 40. See scan under VA 126 #2 above.

Creation:  Appeared in March 1964 (CTB) as an upgrade to SR 698, running the way it does now. This is the 3rd VA 127. Adjustments: In Feb 1979 (CTB), VA 127 was removed from the Oomps Rd/S. Timber Ridge Rd (SRs 695/696) loop near the state line. Improvements:  Fully paved upon inception; no multilane segments Posted:  Fully posted; Multiplexes:  None Legislative names:  None Other names:  Bloomery Pike Scenic Byway:  None Comment:  Mileage sign leaving US 522 gives distance to Cumberland, MD (a short cut I have used), but this requires two state line crossings and the route goes VA 127-WV 127-WV 29-WV 9-MD 51. Good luck with that.

Comment:  Today's VA 128 on Mayflower Ave. is not much different from long ago - narrow and rather twisty. The indented horseshoe curve to get over the RR tracks is an adventure.

VA 128 #1: Appeared in Aug 1928 as a renumbering of VA 117. It ran from US 19/VA 11 Bluefield north to Pocahontas, with a stint through West Virginia in between. VA 128 may have initially entered Pocahontas via SR 658 (1924 topo maps show this). Then it was extended as new primary routing past US 19 to the West Virginia line at Bluefield College. In 1929 (bridge date), VA 128 was removed from SR 717/643. The 1930 Official shows VA 128 as fully paved, so it definitely used today's VA 102 approach to Pocahontas by then. It is unclear but VA 128 may have replaced VA 132 over to the Bluefield Airport along Stadium Dr in 1932. In July 1933, VA 128 was renumbered as VA 85. Today it is VA 102 south of Bluefield; US 19 across the Bluestone River; (I believe) Fairview St north across the RR to SR 802, then SRs 842 and 843; VA 102 to Pocahontas.

Comment:  VA 130 provides an excellent route for Lynchburg traffic heading for the Blue Ridge Parkway, as US 501 has some actual winding stretches.
Access to the Natural Bridge attraction itself is gained from VA 130.
The 1939 VDOT report on primary system development had recommended that VA 130 be decommissioned in its entirety west of Elon.

VA 130 #1: Appeared Aug 1928 as new primary routing, running from VA 12 (now US 58 WB/VA 91 NB jct) south to the Tennessee Line. In July 1933, VA 130 was renumbered as VA 78. Today it is a bit of US 58/VA 91; all of SR 1212 Orchard Hill Rd; VA 91 south to the state line.

VA 130Y #1: Created around 1948 as a renumbering of VA 130 running along today's SR 1034 Main St between VA 130 (now VA 210) and US 29/VA 130 (now VA 163) in Madison Heights. For some reason it was on the wrong leg of the triangle.
About 1955, the US 29 (now US 29 Bus) expressway was put in place very nearby and VA 130Y was downgraded to SR 1034.
VA 130Y appeared explicitly on 1948 and 1949 Officials and was implied on 1950-54 Officials. See scan under VA 130 entry.
VA 130Y #2: Created sometime after 1958 (not on the '58 Rockbridge County map) as the north leg of a triangle where VA 130 meets US 501.
This VA 130Y was physically destroyed in early 2009 as part of construction to build a new Maury River bridge for VA 130.
This VA 130Y was not posted back to at least 1996.

Comment:  VA 131 is one-way on Main St EB from SR 1059 to SR 727. Heading the other way you have to use SR 1060 Harrell St to SR 1059 back to Main. None of this is posted in any way. The traffic log shows no VA 131-P, so technically VA 131 cannot be driven WB in its entirety.
The 1939 VDOT report on primary system development had recommended that VA 131 be decommissioned in its entirety.

Comment:  VA 132 runs through the original part of Colonial Williamsburg, including a stop sign for pedestrian crossings on car-less Duke of Gloucester St. in the tourist area.
VA 132 serves as access to the tourist area from I-64 EB (via VA 143).
VA 132 is erroneously shown as VA 32 on the 1975 official.

VA 132 #2: Appeared June 1930 (CTB) as new primary routing running from VA 128 (VA 102 College Dr) 0.30 miles to the Bluefield Airport.
It is unclear what happened to VA 132 but I'm pretty sure it was one of these two things:
1. VA 132 was renumbered as part of VA 128 in 1932.
2. VA 132 was renumbered as part of VA 85 in July 1933.
Today, the airport is gone and the route is the Stadium Dr segment of VA 102.
Stadium Drive was shown as secondary on the 1932 Tazewell County map. The only proof of the existence of VA 132 anywhere in the universe is that it appears in the 1931 Route Log.
VA 132 #3: Appeared in July 1933 as a renumbering of VA 326, running as a short route from US 460 to SR 630/681 Evergreen.
In May 1943 (CTB), VA 132 was downgraded to SR 681.
VA 132 #4: First appears in the July 1955 CTB as proposed construction in York County.
The Aug 1955 CTB describes VA 132's route to run from the Colonial Pkwy north to VA 168 (current VA 143).
In Jan 1956 (CTB), VA 132 north was truncated to end at VA 31 (now VA 132 Henry St).
In May 1957 (CTB), VA 132 was renumbered as VA 132Y.
VA 132 #4's brief existence is captured on the reverse of the 1957 Official.

Creation:  Appeared March 1955 (CTB) as a newly constructed route, running from US 17 north to the Pig Point Ordinance Depot. This is the 3rd VA 135. Adjustments:  In July 1966 (CTB), VA 135 was extended north 0.46 miles to the entrance to then-Frederick College. Around 1991 (bridge dates), VA 135 was rebuilt about 0.1 miles to the east from US 17 to Townpoint Rd, leaving behind Old College Dr (cutoff by VA 164) which still has the orignial 1950s concrete. Improvements:  Fully paved upon designation VA 135 was multilaned from US 17 to I-664 about 1993.

In May 1943 (CTB), VA 135Y was renumbered as part of VA 135. Today it is SR 696.
The triangle setup was shown but not labeled on officials from 1937-41.

Creation:  Appeared around 1954 as an upgrade to SR 652/628 (this had been part of VA 137 until 1953), running as it does today. This is the 3rd VA 136.

Although VA 137 is kind of a minor route, it is given preferential treatment on the VA 138 duplex.

VA 137 #1: Appeared in Dec 1930 (CTB) as new primary routing, running from VA 112 (now VA 16) North Tazewell east to US 19/VA 11 (now VA 61/SR 678 jct) Tazewell. In 1932, VA 136 renumbered as VA 127. Today it is part of VA 61.

VA 138 #1: Appeared in Dec 1930 (CTB) as new primary routing, running from VA 126 (now US 460 Bus) Richlands north 0.89 miles. In July 1932 (CTB), VA 138 was extended north 4.11 miles Also in July 1932, mileage was assigned from VA 111 (now VA 80) Honaker northeast 6.5 miles towards Raven over CRs 135 and 12. I believe this was a second piece of VA 138. This segment does not appear on the 1932 official or 1932 Russell County Map. In July 1933, both pieces of VA 138 were renumbered as VA 83. Today it is VA 80 east of Clover Rd in Honaker; VA 67 eastward except it used SR 637 loops over to Gardners. The original piece is part of VA 67.

Creation:  Appeared in April 1944 (CTB) as a renumbering of part of VA 137, running the way it does now. This is the 3rd VA 139. Adjustments:  In July 1991, VA 139 was straightened out between Jarratt and US 301, leaving behind SRs 1103 and 646. Up to this point VA 139 had made two turns that were eliminated in this change.

Multiplexes:  None Legislative names:  None Other names:  Jarratt Ave/Allen Rd Scenic Byway:  no segments Comment:  VA 139 should be extended to I-95.
