VA 530-Y  not currently assigned
Previous VA 530-Y's:
VA 530-Y: In Dec 1930 (CTB), VA 530 was assigned to 3.5 miles of roads in each Warwick and York Counties to and through the Yorktown Park Reservation.
The June 1931 CTB makes an assignment of 6.5 miles total to describe the same thing.
Both the Dec 1930 and June 1931 assignments to VA 530 specifically included VA 530Y as part of the mix.
In Feb 1932, an Act of the General Assembly decommissioned VA 530 and VA 530Y. It was noted that their purpose for creation in late 1930 was "...that the sections of roads in York and Warwick counties of approximately thirteen and one-half miles in length taken into the State highway system for improvement on account of the sesqui-centennial celebration at Yorktown..."
Both the Official Program of the 1931 Yorktown Sesquicentennial Celebration and the History of the Colonial Parkway mention that Virginia improved some roads specifically for the celebration, neither says what roads they are.
I believe these roads were taken into the system, which on the 1940 Warwick-York County maps add up to around the right distance:
SR 636: Richneck Rd from today's VA 173 to today's VA 105; the road used to continue north through Newport News Park to connect to the end of Siege Ln in York County, then connected directly to today's SR 634 northwest of SR 704 via roughly the auto tour road for Yorktown Monument
SR 637: Crawford Rd from today's VA 238 near Lebanon Church east to VA 238 Goosley Rd then east across current US 17 to SR 704
SR 638: Current VA 238 Goosley Rd between SR 1020 and SR 637.
SR 608: Current VA 105 Fort Eustis Blvd from US 60 to Richneck Rd
It is likely VA 530Y was more than one of these roads.
VA 530Y does not appear on any map I have seen.
