I can only find a Jan 1933 CTB reference to ROW issues on this stretch in Fairfax County. In July 1933, VA 711 became VA 236. Today it is VA 338 and US 50. VA 711 only explicitly appeared on the 1928-29 Official maps. It probably used Wilson Blvd in the beginning and moved to what is now US 50.

In July 1932 (CTB), Preston Ave from Market/2nd (then-VA 39) northwest to Rugby Rd (then-VA 28) was placed into the primary system. This may have been an extension of VA 714. It is also possible Preston Ave was one of the unnumbered independent city primary routes... In July 1933, VA 714 became part of VA 239. Today it is Monticello Rd along the VA 20 corridor.

In 1932, VA 718 was renumbered as part of a rerouted VA 25 and is now part of VA 120. For some reason, the 1931 Official shows it running only part way over to VA 25. VA 718 #2: Appeared in December 1932 as a 2-piece route: 1. VA 37 (now US 522) Flint Hill east to just short of the Rappahannock River (upgrade to CR 3). 2. VA 55 (now F137) near Marshall southwest to the Ada area (upgrade to CR 8). In July 1933, both pieces of VA 718 became VA 242. Today they are both part of SR 647 except at the east end of piece 2 where I-66 destroyed the actual connection to then-VA 55.

In July 1932 (CTB), VA 721 was extended south as an upgrade to CR 5 to Purcellville, then west with VA 54 (now VA 7 Bus) a short ditance, then replaced VA 724 south for 1.88 miles towards Middleburg. In July 1933, VA 721 became part of VA 234. Today it is SR 690, SR 755, VA 7 Bus, SR 722 which is cutoff by VA 7 bypass, then VA 287 (except Lovettsville used SR 798 and SR 673).

This was an upgrade to CR 7 and may have briefly been part of VA 16 earlier. In July 1932, VA 723 was extended west to VA 16 (now VA 231) Shacklefords Corner. In July 1933, VA 723 became VA 246.

In 1932, VA 724 was renumbered as part of VA 721. Today it is part of SR 690 plus SR 755. The only map I have that shows this explicitly is a 1932 Tydol map.

In Oct 1931 (CTB), VA 725 was moved to go via Washington's Mill. The old route became CR 296 (now SR 624 Lueckens Ln and Old Mill Rd). In July 1933, VA 725 became part of VA 235 which it remains today. It is a mystery why this wasn't an extension of VA 710.	VA 725 Dandy 1932 Fairfax County

In July 1933, VA 727 became VA 247. Today it is SR 656. I understand building a road between the old and new alignments, but I am at a loss why it rated a primary route.

ROUTE LOG US 29 SB, US 29 Bus, US 58 WB: 0 - 0 VA 86: 3.6 - 3.6 US 58 EB, US 58 Bus, US 360: 3.8 - 7.4		Creation:  Unsure of exact date of creation, but VA 785 is listed in the 2001 VDOT Route Log.  It runs as a multiplex with US 29 and part of US 58.  This is likely only 2-3 years old.  This has been the only VA 785. Adjustments:  None Posting:  No VA 785 signs exist, but there are proposed I-785 signs up. Comment:  From its creation until May 2002, this was the highest state route number in current use.  Does not appear on any maps that I am aware of. It is, of course, the precursor to the eventual I-785.
