In July 1936, VA 340 was renumbered as VA 12 from Greenville to White Post. Virginia wanted VA 340 to become part of US 340 but got tired of waiting. 16 years later they got their wish. The piece from Middlebrook to US 11 became part of VA 292 #1 (curr SR 701).

Today this is SR 701 and US 11 to today's US 340 to Waynesboro. From there VA 340 followed Wayne St north to Ohio St west to Florence Ave north to either Bridge Ave or Ash St east to Sherwood Ave which turns into SR 865, heading north to Mt. Meridian, then east along today's VA 256 to Grottoes, but VA 340 used Circle Ln to cross the South River onto 4th St. VA 340 then turned north on 4th Avenue (now SR 825 Dogwood Ave) to go to Port Republic. VA 340 did the old zig-zag routing that VA 253 rounds off at the South River, following VA 253 to SR 672 Pineville Rd, which VA 340 used to get to US 33 (now SR 996) near Montevideo. VA 340 duplexed with US 33 east to Elkton, entering town on today's US 33 Business. VA 340 split from US 33 on Spotswood Ave over to current US 340. VA 340 followed US 340, then 340 Business from Elkton through Stanly to Luray. Northward from Luray VA 340 followed US 340 until it reached the Karo area. VA 340 cut east on today's SR 607 over to SR 649 Browntown Rd which VA 340 followed north into Front Royal VA 340 followed today's 340 to Main St
The short second piece of VA 340 used SR 658 (which zig-zags) to Stone Bridge, Greenway Court and White Post. VA 340 picked up today's US 340 to Waterloo
