| ROUTE LOG US 29, VA 237: 0 - 0 Fairfax-Falls Church Line: 1.02 - 1.02 VA 7: 0.06 - 1.08 |
Creation: Appeared in Aug 1937 (CTB) as a renumbering of US 50. This is the 2nd VA 338.
Adjustments: None Posting: Posted at Seven Corners from VA 7 WB and US 50 WB; Last known posting in Falls Church was leaving US 29/VA 237, the cutout shown in the header picture above, which was removed in 2014-15. Improvements: Paved since inception; Multilaning shown starting with the 1968 Official, though VA 338 has been reconfigured to not be 4 lanes much of anywhere. Multiplexes: NONE Legislative names: NONE Other names: Hillwood Ave (all) Scenic Byway: No segments Comments: VA 338 is shown but not labeled on 1938-41 Officials and is not shown at all on the 1961-67 Officials. Serves as a bypass of VA 7 to avoid central Falls Church from US 50 to US 29, but really there is no need for 338 to remain in the state highway system.
