Comment:  The Eastern Regional Office moved from Tappahannock to this location in 2010 according to their website.
As of 2025, VA 409 does not appear on any VDOT maps except its on-line interactive map.
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 409 #1: Appeared in August 1928 as an upgrade to CR 21. It ran from US 1/VA 31 Petersburg across Campbell Bridge and west 6.7 miles through the Matoaca area.
In June 1930 (CTB), VA 409 was extended west 3.02 miles.
In July 1932 (CTB), VA 409 was extended west 4.36 more miles, ending at today's SR 602-635 jct.
Also in 1932, a second piece of VA 409 was created when it replaced VA 411 running from US 60/VA 20 (now US 360) south towards Winterpock.
In July 1933, the original piece of VA 409 was renumbered as part of VA 36 (some of this is now SR 602, too).

VA 409 #2: Mentioned in the August 1958 CTB Minutes. Refers to project for road from US 58 Virginia Beach to VA 170 (now US 460) Granby St., then over to the Naval Base. Today this is all of I-564 (was first signed as VA 170, though) and some of I-64.
VA 409 #3: Appeared in March 1981 (CTB) as an upgrade to what had once been part of SR 602, running on Providence Rd from US 13 to VA 190 in Virginia Beach. See scan under VA 407 entry.
VA 409 was decommissioned in Jan 2001 (CTB). It was posted only at US 13 and the I-64 overpass. In the late 90's there were even a couple correct 409 shields. The I-64 overpass is still posted as VA 409 as of 2023.
