Creation: First requested in 1941 but deferred in May 1941 (AASHO). West Virginia apparently posted their segment anyway and based on this AASHO approved US 522 extending from Hancock MD to US 60 near Powhatan in July 1943 replacing WV 522, running generally as it does now.
|
Adjustments: About 1960 (bridge date) US 522 was given its direct routing through Berkeley Springs. Previously within Berkeley Springs it cut west on Fairfax St to Wilkes Ave (still original concrete!) which used to continue north out to current US 522 at roughly Jimtown Rd. Improvements: Fully paved upon inception; no multilane segments Comment: US 522 is a useful shortcut from Winchester VA to Hancock MD except Berkeley Springs is occassionally slow, especially during the school year. A Berkeley Springs Bypass was slated to begin construction in 2020...
