| ROUTE LOG VA 30: 0 - 0 VA 30, VA 33: 5.33 - 5.33 |
Creation: Appeared about 1986 as a renumbering of part of VA 30. Ran as it does today. This is the 2nd VA 273.
Adjustments: None Improvements: Paved upon inception; no multilane segments Posted: Fully posted Multiplexes: None Legislative names: Washington's Burgess Route (entire route), designation (3-5-40) predates VA 273 designation. Other names: Farmers Dr. (entire route) Scenic Byway: No segments Comment: Although the speed limit on VA 273 was dropped to 45 everywhere, it still seems faster to use this than the way VA 30 is routed now, at least northbound. Southbound one can get stuck trying to turn left at VA 30.

| Previous VA 273's:
1946 ROUTE LOG VA 12: 0 - 0 US 250: 4.33 - 4.33 |
VA 273 #1: Appeared July 1933 as a renumbering of VA 832, running from VA 340 (current US 340) Ladd to VA 5 (current US 250) Fishersville.
In June 1947, VA 273 was downgraded to SR 631 and SR 608. I-64 eliminated a little of this route when it was built. Today VA 273 is followed by SR 631 from US 340 to about 3/4 of the way to SR 608; all of SR 630 on the north side of I-64; SR 640 from SR 630 to VA 285; VA 285 from SR 636/640 to Fishersville.
