| ROUTE LOG VA 420: 0 - 0 VA 7: 0.69 - 0.69 Arlington-Alexandria Line: 0.92 - 1.61 I-395 (exit 6): 0.04 - 1.65 |
Creation: Appeared in Nov 1980 (CTB) as new primary routing, running from VA 7 to I-395. This is the 3rd VA 402.
Adjustments: In Feb 1984 (CTB), VA 402 was extended south as new primary routing to VA 420. See scan in VA 401 entry. Improvements: Paved and multilaned upon inception (Official maps have always shown a gap in multilaning near I-395 for some reason) Posted: Reassurance markers on VA 402 northbound only and only north of VA 7. VA 402 is not mentioned from I-395, VA 7 or VA 420. Multiplexes: None Legislative names: None Other names: Quaker Lane Scenic Byway: None Comment: VA 402 provides a connection from VA 7 to I-395 at Shirlington Circle. Although the creation of VA 402 is shown only as a City of Alexandria phenomenon, VDOT traffic logs and the 2003 Route log both say it ends at I-395 which is in Arlington County. |
