VA 401 #1: Appeared in Aug 1928 as an upgrade to CRs 12, 17, 7 and 1. It initially ran from the North Carolina line south of Valentines up to Lawrenceville, then northwest 1.25 miles. A second piece of VA 401 replaced VA 323 from VA 44 (now VA 49) Victoria southeast to Kenbridge, then continued as an upgrade to CR 7 southeast 8.8 miles to the Dundas area.
In Aug 1929 (CTB), the southern piece of VA 401 was extended north 2 miles.
In 1930, VA 401 from Victoria to Kenbridge was renumbered as an extended VA 48 (today it is VA 40).
In June 1930 (CTB), the southern piece of VA 401 was extended to and along a brief duplex north with US 1, then northwest 10 miles to the Lunenburg County line, connecting the two pieces.
It appears in 1932 that VA 401 moved from SR 713 to SR 715 to head north into Lawrenceville.

In July 1933, VA 401 was renumbered as VA 34.
Today, the route is VA 46 from the NC Line north, using SR 768 loop near the state line and the SR 767 and SR 766 loops above Brunswick. VA 401 then cut east on SR 715 over the Gholson Bridge over the Meherrin River, back around to VA 46. The route followed VA 46 to Cochran, then US 1 north, then SR 758 which is cutoff by I-85. The route picks up VA 46 again. Just north of SR 652, VA 401 crossed the RR and stayed north of it (no longer public road) all the way to SR 644, then went north to SR 643 then west to SR 729 over to Danieltown. VA 401 then crossed VA 46 to stay on SR 729 which no longer connects to VA 137. VA 401 picked up VA 137 through Dundas, then used SR 616 south across the RR, then northwest on what is not a public road back to VA 137. VA 401 then followed VA 137 to VA 40 in Kenbridge.

VA 401 #2: First mentioned in CTB Minutes in September 1957, as the route assigned to the Emporia Bypass. VA 401 was also in the October 1957 minutes describing a new route from US 1 Triangle to VA 350 Woodbridge. VA 401 was the assigned state route number to I-95. It was last mentioned in the CTB minutes in February 1987. VA 401 was not likely ever signed as such.

A second piece was created as an upgrade to CR 2 running 7 miles west from VA 10 (now US 460) Sutherland to the Amelia County Line.
In Aug 1929 (CTB), the Amelia piece was extended east 2 miles.
In Dec 1930 (CTB), the Amelia piece was extended east 5.91 miles through Mannboro.

Today the route is SR 681 from Tobaccoville to near Amelia; SR 656/1009 into Amelia; VA 38 to Scotts Fork; VA 153 and SR 708 east to Sutherland.
VA 406 #2: Likely assigned as the state route designation for I-85 in the pre-construction days of Virginia interstate. It is not explicitly mentioned in the CTB Minutes but based on the 4xx routes that were mentioned, 406 fits the pattern established in association with the list of interstate corridors in Oct 1957.

Mapmikey wonders...with 409 being assigned to a state facility route, are we getting ready to see an influx of new ones, since in theory only 317 had been available for this?
Also of note, VA 409's crossing of the adjacent railroad tracks was initially signed as a "private crossing".  However, by February 2014, the crossing had been upgraded to signals and gates, with the private crossing signs removed.

VA 410 #1: Appeared in August 1928 as a renumbering of VA 313, running from VA 407 (now VA 10) Chesterfield CH through centralia to end at US 1/VA 31 (now SR 1625).
In July 1933, VA 410 was renumbered as VA 145
VA 410 #2: Likely assigned as the state route designation for I-264 in the pre-construction days of Virginia interstate. It is not explicitly mentioned in the CTB Minutes but based on the 4xx routes that were mentioned, 410 fits the pattern established in association with the list of interstate corridors in Oct 1957.
VA 410 #3: Appeared in March 1981 (CTB) as an upgrade to what had once been part of SR 627, running on Holland Rd from VA 44 (now I-264) and VA 225 in the Pembroke area of Virginia Beach southeast to VA 149 near Princess Anne.
VA 410 was decommissioned in Jan 2001 (CTB). It was not posted anywhere while it was active. I don't know why this wasn't numbered as VA 225.
VA 410, 411, and 414 were still being shown in Rand McN atlases as of 2015.

In 1932, VA 410 was renumbered as part of VA 409. Today it is SR 621 except near US 360 it used at least the northern SR 661 loop. If it used the southern SR 661 loop it stopped doing so before it was renumbered.

It is not explicitly mentioned in the CTB Minutes but based on the 4xx routes that were mentioned, 411 fits the pattern established in association with the list of interstate corridors in Oct 1957.
VA 411 #3: Appeared in March 1981 (CTB) as new primary routing, running on Rosemont Rd from VA 410 (now just Holland Rd) to US 58 in Virginia Beach just north of its interchange with VA 44 (now I-264). See scan under VA 410 entry.
VA 411 was decommissioned in Jan 2001 (CTB). It was not posted anywhere while it was active.
VA 411 #4: Created in Nov 2000 (CTB) when the VDOT 2020 transportatin plan was created, which included a road called the Tri-County Parkway. It began at the VA 234 Business/Godwin Dr intersection, skirted around the Manassas Battlefield, crossed US 50 at the SR 606 intersection and ended at VA 267 Dulles Greenway northwest of SR 606. The length of the road is 20.0 miles.
In Dec 2000 (CTB), the section of SR 606 between US 50 and SR 621 which would be part of the Parkway (the only existing road to be a part), was formally removed from the primary system, technically splitting VA 411 into two piece totaling 19.2 miles.

Northern half of proposed VA 411 with removed section (southern half was unchanged)
Dec 2000 CTB document

In June 2001 (CTB), the number 411 was actually assigned to teh Tri-County Parkway.
VA 411 was listed in 2001 and 2003 VDOT route logs: "From Route 234 in Prince William County to Route 50 in Loudoun County and from Route 621 in Loudoun County to the Dulles Greenway Parkway in Loudoun County (Tri-County Parkway). (Proposed)"
In Oct 2002, per this document, the Tri-County Pkwy was extended along Godwin Dr south to end at the VA 28/VA 234 Bypass interchange.
Per VDOT's website, in Nov 2005, the CTB approved the location for a new 10.4 mile north-south transportation link that would connect Manassas with the Dulles corridor. The location of the new road would be north of I-66 from the I-66 and Route 234 interchange to Route 50 in Loudoun County. The possible paths that were studied are shown here (pdf). The chosen path is segments C and D, roughly paralleling SRs 705 and 616 and runs 10.4 miles. The website says the Final Environmental Impact Statement is expected to be approved by the Federal highway Administration in fall of 2010. Note that this selection had no overlap with the Tri-County Pkwy as approved in 2001.
The Nov 2005 CTB minutes says it will be limited access but does not mention a route number for the route. The selection of segment D overlaps the Manassas Battlefield Bypass that is desired in order to remove VA 234 from the Battlefield.
I could not find anywhere on VDOT's website any mention of what happened to the SR 621 to Dulles Greenway segment, although the June 2013 public meeting on the Bi-County Pkwy does mention a study underway to extend it north of US 50 and east over to SR 606 to help serve Dulles and the upcoming Silver line. Additionally, the VTrans 2035 document from Nov 2010 does still mention VA 411 being on the future Loudoun County Pkwy from SR 621 to SR 772, as well as being on the moved location of what is now the Bi-County Pkwy. A small bit of the Loudoun County Pkwy in this defined area is built and appears to be signed as SR 607.
In Feb 2013 (CTB), the Tri-County Pkwy (still called this then even though Fairfax County is no longer in the path) from I-66/VA 234 Byp interchange north to VA 234 was essentially described such that it will be VA 234 when built.
Later in 2013 the project begins to be referenced as the Bi-County Pkwy instead.
Public meeting brochures from Sept/Oct 2013 imply the entire Bi-County Pkwy will be VA 234. There is an FAQ that talks about what will happen to 234 through the Battlefield but there is no mention of what would happen to VA 234 from Catharpin to US 15 and whether it would remain in the primary system or not.

VA 414 #1: Appeared in August 1928 as new primary routing, running from VA 13 (now US 360 Bus) Mechanicsville southeast through the Cold Harbor area to Fair oaks. 1928 and 1929 officials suggest VA 414 followed Meadow Rd east to where it turns into VA 156 where VA 414 continued southwest as an upgrade to CRs 24, 25 and 27 through Elko and Glendale to VA 41 (now VA 5), then duplexed west with VA 41 a while before heading west to New Osbourne Tpk through several Civil War Battlefield sites. The 1928 and 1929 officials show VA 414 using today's Kingsland Rd. The official designation in Aug 1928 read: "...Malvern Hill, Fort Gilmer, Fort Harrison and Fort Johnson" which implies the 1928-29 maps are wrong. However, the Aug 1936 CTB minutes that turn VA 156 over to the Park Service says specifically the road was taken into the state highway system in 1930.
The 1930 map shows VA 414 to be re-routed at Fair Oaks to run to US 60/VA 39 at Sandston, then duplex over to today's VA 156/Meadow Rd. It also shows VA 414 using Battlefield Park Rd (check the distance shown on the VA 41 duplex in the two scans below.
In July 1933, VA 414 was renumbered as VA 156. It still is VA 156 today except in the Sandston area it used Hanover Rd and VA 33; The US 60 duplex is mostly Old Williamsburg Rd; the VA 41 duplex is VA 5 only; west to Old Osborne Tpk is now Battlefield Park Rd.
I'm not convinced about VA 414 running on Meadow Rd. The Nov 1929 CTB clearly references VA 414 to be south of the railroad at Fair Oaks.

VA 415 #1: Appeared in August 1928 as a renumbering of VA 393 from US 60/VA 39 Bottoms Bridge (right at the Henrico-New Kent Line) past New Kent CH to about Angelview Church, then east as new routing 3 miles to the existing Pamunkey River Bridge, then replacing a separate piece of VA 393 on 14th St in West Point, ending at VA 30.
About 1930, VA 415 was rebuilt and removed from today's SR 611 Quaker Rd and (no longer connects to) Holly Hill Rd in Quinton; SR 627 Stage Rd/abandoned SR 678 east of New Kent CH; SR 626 Paige Rd Slaterville; SR 623 Pamunkey Church Rd
In July 1933, VA 415 was renumbered as part of VA 4. Today it is abandoned routing south of I-64; SR 674 Clint Ln; VA 249 east to VA 33 east to West Point except the Pamunkey River Bridge was slightly north of thoday's new bridge.
VA 415 violated the numbering scheme when it crossed the Pamunkey River from District 4 to District 6. This is odd because VA 53 was assigned to today's VA 30/273 to cross the District 5-District 4 line at Barhamsville and thus should have been the designation into West Point. However, the 1931 Route log says 53 ends at 415 and 415 ends in West Point.

In Dec 1930 (CTB), VA 417 was assigned 0.80 miles from the James River bridge to VA 19. It is unclear where this actually was in relation to alignments visible today nor where the road before this may have hit VA 19. Satellite images suggest multiple possibilities.

In March 1931, VA 418 was extended east over VA 19 to end at newly relocated VA 19 Three Chopt Rd.
In July 1931 (CTB), VA 418 was extended up Three Chopt Rd to Patterson Ave as a duplex with VA 19, then east as new primary routing on Patterson to end at VA 432 (now VA 161).
In June 1932 (CTB), it appears VA 418 was extended north with VA 19 on Three Chopt Road, then east as new primary routing along Patterson Ave to end at the Richmond CL.
In Dec 1932 (CTB), VA 418 was extended east along Patterson to end at VA 432 (now VA 161) Boulevard.
In March 1933 (CTB), VA 418 was moved from Patterson Ave to Kensington Ave on its eastern end.

VA 418Y: It was the SE piece of a triangle at the VA 13 (now US 60) jct near Midlothian. It met VA 13 at current SR 653 which was using today's Branchway Rd and met VA 418 (now 147) at today's Old Buckingham Rd.
It is unclear if this goes back to Aug 1928 but this was once part of VA 13's route.
In July 1933, VA 418Y was renumbered as VA 147Y. Today the road is physically destroyed and is now a parking lot.

In Sept 1964 (CTB), VA 419 was renumbered as VA 119 in a route swap. No map I have seen shows VA 419 here but the Sept 1964 CTB minutes clearly indicate 419 was the number in Halifax County.
