| ROUTE LOG US 11: 0 - 0 I-81: 0.23 - 0.23 Clarke-Frederick Line: 4.35 - 4.58 US 340, US 522: 0.14 - 4.72 |
Creation: Appeared in July 1933 as a renumbering for a piece of VA 54 #1. Originally ran from US 11 Stephens City to VA 340 (now SR 628-658 jct) White Post. This has been the only VA 277.
Adjustments: In September 1942 (CTB), VA 277 east was truncated to Double Tollgate. The route to White Post became part of VA 12 (now US 340 and SR 628). In March 1958 (CTB), VA 277 was given its modern eastern finish, leaving behind SR 1018 which no longer connects to US 522. Improvements: Paved upon inception; In 2023, VA 277 was four laned from I-81 to SR 641 Double Church Rd. Posting: Fully posted; cutouts removed in mid-90s. Multiplexes: None Legislative names: None Other names: Fairfax St (Stephens City); Fairfax Pike (everywhere else) Scenic Byway: No segments Comment: Double Tollgate is home to Dinosaur Land, a cheesy tourist trap with dinosaurs out front. VA 277 is the only VA 27x route to make it unscathed from the 1933 renumbering.
