Creation: Appeared in 1982 as new construction. Ran only as a short connector between I-81 exit 220 and US 11. This is the 2nd VA 262.
Adjustments: In late 2001, VA 262 was extended to VA 252 as new construction.
On July 20, 2006 the CTB replaced VA 275 with VA 262, giving VA 262 a brief break in routing (between VA 252 and US 250). On August 10, 2006 the gap between VA 254 and US 250 was opened to traffic, making VA 262 a complete westloop around Staunton.
Improvements: Paved upon inception The 1982-83 Official showed VA 262 as not a freeway but all maps from 1984 forward have it as a freeway. VA 262 is 4-laned from I-64/81 to Middlebrook Ave and also in the vicinity of the I-81 interchange north of Staunton. Posted: Fully posted Multiplexes: NONE Legislative names: Woodrow Wilson Pkwy from US 11 to I-81 north of Staunton (since replacing VA 275). Other names: NONE Scenic Byway: No segments Comment: The 2-lane segment between VA 254 and MIddlebrook Ave are on a 4-lane ROW. I find it odd that neither VA 254 or US 250 are mentioned at either I-81 interchange as a way to reduce through traffic in downtown Staunton | |||||
