Photo: VA 313 from US 522 southbound (photo by Mapmikey, April 2006)
From:  Maidens (Powhatan County)
To:  Beaumont Learning Facility (Powhatan County)
Total Length:  2.08 miles  






Creation:  Unknown - although there has been room on many official maps to show this, it never has. The July 1932 CTB Minutes assign 1.96 miles to the Industrial School for Boys in Maidens, VA. Some of the buildings at the facility look pretty old. Based on the number I presume this was designated in the 1938 timeframe, This is the 3rd VA 313.
Adjustments:  In March 1973 (CTB), VA 313 was extended east from original US 522 (SR 669) to the new US 522
Posting:  White rectangles at US 522 and SR 669.
Other Names: Beaumont Rd
Comment:  Newer roads at the facility have "end state maintenance" signs at them, so VA 313 is some of the interior roads but not all of them. The access road itself is narrow and substandard, although in 2006 it was resurfaced and perhaps widened a little.
Beaumont officially closed in June 2017. There remains a small detention center run by a different state entity. However, much of the Beaumont property is being studied for future use, including the potential to become the main entrance to the fairly new Powhatan State Park which is adjacent to the property and whose entrance off SR 617 is not ideal.
