Creation: Appeared March 1981 (CTB) as a renumbering of
mainline VA 168 through Great Bridge. Originally only ran between the
Great Bridge Bypass junctions with VA 168.
Adjustments: About 1999, VA 168 Business was extended north to I-64, replacing a rerouted VA 168. About 2001, VA 168 Business was extended south to its current end replacing more mainline VA 168.
Improvements: Paved upon inception Multilaned from VA 165 north to VA 168 upon inception. The rest of VA 168 business in Great Bridge was multilaned in 1995 or 1996. When extended north to I-64 in 1999, the route was already 6-laned. Posted: Fully posted Multiplexes: VA 165 (0.26 mi) Legislative names: None Other names: Battlefield Blvd Scenic Byway: No segments Comment: In addition to being a business route through Great Bridge, VA 168 Business provides a primary alternative to the toll road heading to North Carolina. The DeLorme shows a short loop right at the NC Line (where Ballahack Rd Old VA 193 comes in) also as 168 Business, but this loop road does NOT connect back up with VA 168 on its southern end. | ||||
