Creation: VA 349 was created in March 1940 as new primary routing by Act of the General Assembly, running as it does today. This is the only VA 349.
Adjustments: Between 2018-22, VA 349 was reconfigured to be one-way only from US 501 to VA 360.
Improvements: paved upon inception; no multilane segments
Posted: not posted since the one-way conversion. VA 349 was posted with a reassurance shield at each end. No postings along US 501 or VA 360. There was also a 349 rectangle at SR 1127 Blue Ridge Ln.
Multiplexes: None
Legislative names: Edmunds Blvd, entire route (since 3-9-42)
Other names: None
Scenic Byway: No segments
Comment: This is the shortest non-Y route that connects two other primary routes.
As short as this is, it actually appears on the Jan and Jul 1941 official maps, but none since.
This route has zero purpose, it just runs behind the municipal building in Halifax.
Nick Britton reported in Dec. 2004 that the route had been blocked off on both ends the last 2 times he drove past. The last couple times in the late 2000s that I happened by the road was open.
