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 414 #2: Appeared in March 1981 (CTB) as new primary routing, running on Lynnhven Pkwy from VA 410 (now just Holland Rd) to US 58 in Virginia Beach just north of its interchange with VA 44 (now I-264). VA 414 was decommissioned in Jan 2001 (CTB). VA 414 was not posted anywhere while it was active. However, for some reason, VA 414 shields have been up from at least 2007-23 at the Salem Rd/Lynnhaven Pkwy intersection. This part of Lynnhaven Parkway was never part of VA 414. |
