Western Terminus
Heading into Pulaski, VA 99's beginning is marked. All 99 shields in Pulaski seem to be in circles. Photo by Mapmikey, taken March 14, 2008. | |
The change in pavement is where VA 99 becomes SR 738. VA 99 has ended here since 1952. Photo by Mapmikey, taken March 14, 2008. | |
Shortly after that point, there is a vintage END 99 shield. This is the only normal VA 99 shield I know of not at I-81. The yellow sign ahead is warning trucks not to use 738 over the mountain to VA 42. Photo by Mapmikey, taken March 14, 2008. |

From 1933-61, VA 99 ended a little east of the current I-81 interchange. This is the view of old VA 100 (now F047) northbound at old VA 99 (now SR ). Photo by Mapmikey, taken May 18, 2007. | |
This is the view of old VA 100 (now F047) southbound at old VA 99 (now SR 672). Photo by Mapmikey, taken May 18, 2007. | |
This is the view of old VA 99 beginning. This section of old VA 99 doesn't travel far before ending at I-81. SR 769 picks back up on the other side of 81. It looks pretty narrow and non-primary for a route that lasted to the 1960s. Note that original VA 10 and US 11 have used this road as well. Photo by Mapmikey, taken May 18, 2007. | |
