Creation: Appeared in July 1933, the same year it first appeared
nationally, running from Roanoke to Chesapeake Beach via Bedford,
Lynchburg, Appomattox, Farmville, Burkeville, Petersburg, Suffolk,
Portsmouth and Norfolk. In this routing, US 360 replaced:
VA 10 from Roanoke to Lynchburg US 60 and VA 10 from Lynchburg to Burkeville VA 10 from Burkeville to Petersburg VA 52 from Petersburg to Suffolk US 117 and VA 10 from Suffolk to Norfolk VA 12 from Norfolk to Chesapeake Beach On 1/1/47 (per Virginia Hwy Bulletin), US 460 was extended west to Kentucky, replacing:
In late 2013, US 460 was placed on a new bypass of the business district along Riverside Dr in the SR 615 Levisa Rd area between Van sant and Grundy. The old route became US 460 Business. In the far future it is planned for US 460 to be put on new alignment west of the Grundy area to reach Kentucky in the vicinity of Breaks Interstate Park. West Virginia to Christiansburg US 460 followed SR 1306 out of Glen Lyn, which no longer connects to SR 806 leading into Rich Creek. US 460 followed Main St through town, then used US 460 towards Pearisburg. After crossing the New River, US 460 followed VA 100 south to US 460 Business which it followed through Pearisburg. On the east side of town US 460 likely used SR 807. US 460 continued on SR 636 to Ripplemead and crossed the New River just north of the current crossing. US 460 picked back up mainline 460, then used SR 1404 through Pembroke. US 460 used pieces of modern 460 but used SR 771 in Hoges Chapel; SRs 777 and 778 at Sinking Creek and SR 783 in Maybrook. US 460 used SR 798, then a bit of VA 42, then SR 79x through Newport. Crossing Walker Mountain, US 460 used several abandoned alignments, plus SR 777. US 460 then used US 460 Business through Blacksburg, Merrimac and into Christiansburg.
There, it picked up US 11 north leaving Christiansburg. It
followed US 11 to Salem except it initially used SR 753 through
Shawville; SR 745 and SR 603 (no longer continuous) through Elliston;
SRs 813/821 at the Roanoke/Mongomery Line; SR 796 at Dixie Caverns.
Lynchburg to Petersburg: US 460 followed its current route (save the recently altered route at the US 29 interchange) over to Appomattox, except it used SR 800 through Concord and SR 689 through Spout Spring. US 460 used 460 Business through Appomattox (possibly used SR 1004 at first), then US 460 over to Pamplin City, whre it used today's US 460 Business as well. US 460 followed its current routing east, then used SR 695 approaching Farmville instead of modern US 460. US 460 followed High St to VA 45 then north to 3rd St east out of Farmville, then current US 460 east then dipped south on today's SR 735 through Rice to modern US 460. US 460 followed today's 460 to Burkeville except it used the SR 736 loop. At Burkeville, US 460 used SR 716 Namozine St (partly cutoff from US 360-460 now), then US 360 Business 2nd St. US 460 used current 460 through Crewe, then at Nottoway CH, it followed US 460 BUsiness through Blackstone. US 460 picked back up current 460 into Dinwiddie County. At Walkers, US 460 followed SR 751 through Poole Siding and Church Road, then back to US 460 before Sutherland. US 460 veered off using VA 226 over to US 1. Adjustments: In July 1940 (CTB), US 460 was rerouted in Farmville to the current US 460 Business routing on 3rd St all the way through. High St remained part of US 15.
![]() US 460 zig-zags in Farmville early on 1936 Prince Edward County In 1950, US 15-460 was removed from the lengthy SR 695 west of Farmville. US 460 was removed from SR 1004 in Appomattox by 1958. By 1958, US 460 was given its current Concord routing, leaving behind SR 800. In March 1965 (CTB), US 460 was rerouted east of Sutherland to the new I-85 and US 1, which it followed north towards Petersburg. This left behind VA 226. In Nov 1969 (CTB), US 460 was placed on its Burkeville bypass, leaving behind some SR 714 and US 360-460 Business. In 1970, US 460 was given its expressway bypass of Pamplin City, leaving behind US 460 Business. In 1973, US 460 was rerouted in the Rice area to its current routing, leaving behind SRs 735 and 736. The new alignment eclipsed a piece of VA 307. In 1974, US 460 was put on new alignment in central Dinwiddie County, leaving behind SR 751. In 1976, US 460 was placed on its freeway bypass of Blackstone leaving behind US 460 Business. In 1979, US 460 was placed on its southern bypass of Farmville, some of which was already open as US 15 Bypass. The old route became US 460 Business. In 1994, US 460 was placed on its freeway bypass of Appomattox, leaving behind US 460 Business. Petersburg to Hampton Roads: Initially, US 460 entered Petersburg with US 1 on Washington St. Then after a brief jog south on Sycamore (was US 301 then) used Wythe St east to Main St south out of town via today's US 460 Business. US 460 followed today's 460 through Waverly and Windsor, and picked up US 460 Business into central Suffolk. US 460 originally followed Main St to today's VA 337 and then followed VA 337 through Driver to Alexanders Corner, then Airline Dr to High St to Portsmouth, crossed the ferry with US 58 to Norfolk. US 460 followed Bank St north to Princess Anne Rd east, then followed today's VA 166 northeast to today's VA 165 which it followed south, then VA 165Y (no longer connects), then US 13 to Diamond Springs Rd. US 460 then followed today's Shell Rd and Pleasure House Rd to end at US 60 in Chesapekae Beach. Adjustments: In Oct 1934, US 460 was rerouted at Alexanders Corner to follow today's VA 337 to the Jordan Bridge (replacing VA 287) and east to VA 27 to pick up current US 460's route in South Norfolk. US 460 then left Brambleton on Park Ave north to pick up Princess Anne Road as before. US 460's old route through Portsmouth became US 58.
About 1942, US 460 was rerouted from Suffolk to Portsmouth - it left Main St Suffolk on today's US 13-58-460 Bus east to mainline 13-58-460. US 460 then followed its current routing to Bowers Hill, Military Hwy and Bainbridge Blvd. US 460 then continued west on Brambleton Ave to end at no route at Granby St. The old route from Suffolk to South Norfolk became VA 337; Princess Anne Rd out to Military Hwy leaving Norfolk became VA 13Y; VA 165 to Diamond Springs Rd became part of US 13; Diamond Springs Rd to US 60 became the other VA 13Y. By 1954, US 460 was rerouted in Petersburg to used Washington St directly to Crater Rd south. In 1958, US 460 was rerouted in Norfolk to its current routing to US 60 Ocean View, replacing VA 170 on Granby St.
In Feb 1961 (CTB), US 460 was split in Petersburg - EB US 460 had to follow US 301 south to I-95 and use what had been US 460 ALT to get back to Winfield Rd which US 460 WB continued to use. In 1973, US 460 was given its freeway bypass of Suffolk, leaving behind US 460 Business. AT first it was just US 460 as the freeway wasn't open west of there back to US 58. About 1976, US 1-460 was placed on one-way splits using Washington and Wythe Sts.
In 1990, US 460 was placed on I-85 at Exit 61 up to I-95 then it got off I-95 at the next exit. Here it replaced unsigned US 460 ALT back to US 460 near Ft. Lee. The old route became US 460 Business. Around 2007, US 460 was rerouted to stay on I-95 south to Wagner Rd, then put on Wagner Rd east to US 460/VA 106. This left behind an extended US 460 Business. A new US 460 tollway was expected to begin construction in 2014 between I-295 and US 58. The tollway would be built south of existing US 460. However, despite spending a substantial amount of money, VDOT was not able to get environmental approvals for this endeavor. In 2015 the proposed project was pared down to a new alignment from east of Zuni to teh Suffolk Bypass. Improvements: The entirety of US 460 was paved upon its designation in July 1933. The first multilaning of US 460 occurred by 1941, where US 460 was multilaned from Petersburg to Suffolk except for Sussex County. US 460 was multilaned when moved to Military Hwy around 1942, plus from Magnolia to Bowers HIll. Sussex County's US 460 was widened by 1947. In 1949, US 11-460 was multilaned from roughly Elliston to near the current WCL of Salem. In 1952, US 460 was multilaned on its Campbell Ave run in Lynchburg and also from Christiansburg east a couple miles. In 1953, US 11-460 was widened from the bottom of Christiansburg Mtn to Elliston. In 1954, US 460 was multilaned west a couple miles from Bedford. In 1955, US 460 was widened from US 501 east a couple miles and also the Bedford segment was widened to about Thaxton. In 1956, US 460 was widened for a mile east out of Pearisburg; the segment east of US 501 was extended halfway to Concord; the Bedford segment was extended around Thaxton and a few more miles west. In 1957, US 460 was widened from Salem to VA 117. In 1958, US 460 was multilaned when it was added to Granby St in Norfolk. In 1959, the US 460 Bedford segment was widened west to just short of Botetourt County. In 1960 or 1961, US 460 was widened from Suffolk to Magnolia and also on its Brambleton Ave stretch. In 1963, US 460 was widened from VA 117 to VA 116 and also from 11th Ave to US 11-220 in Roanoke. In 1964, US 460 was multilaned from Deel to about Jamey. In 1965, US 460 was multilaned from VA 114 to VA 111; the Bedford segment was widened to Botetourt County; also from a little east of Concord to Appomattox. In 1966, US 460 was widened from VA 114 north to the SCL Blacksburg ; also from the Blue Ridge Pkwy to Bedford County; also the missing Concord segment was widened; also from US 360 west a couple miles. In 1967, US 460 was widened from a little east of VA 115 to the Blue Ridge Pkwy. In 1968, US 460 was multilaned from Jamey to Raven; a segment west of Bluefield was widened; also Appomattox east past Evergreen was widened. In 1969, US 460 was widened from Cedar Bluff to Claypool Hill; also from the current east end of the Tazewell Bypass to the Bluefield segment; west of Newport to the north end of the Blacksburg Bypass; US 460 was widened from Burkeville to Crewe. In 1970, US 460 was widened from Raven to Richlands; the Blacksburg Bypass; the Christiansburg Bypass; VA 115 east to previous widening; Evergreen to the east end of Pamplin City Bypass; Sutherland to US 1 In 1971, US 460 was widened from Glen Lyn partway to Rich Creek; VA 61 to the New River; The relocated segment of US 460 from Bedford to Lynchburg; US 301 duplex In 1972, US 460 was multilaned on the Richlands-Cedar Bluff Bypass; Pamplin City to Prospect; Farmville to Rice; Crewe to Nottoway In 1973, US 460 was widened from Claypool Hill to Pounding Mill; US 11 to VA 115; Rice to Burkeville; Suffolk Bypass In 1974, US 460 is shown multilaned from Glen Lyn to VA 61; Prospect partway to Farmville; Ford to Sutherland. The Rice to Burkeville segment was shown as 2-lane on 1974 official. In 1975, US 460 was widened on the Tazewell Bypass; Pearisburg to near Pembroke; Rice to Burkeville In 1976, US 460 was widened from Pounding Mill to Tazewell; Pembroke eastward a couple miles; Nottoway-Blackstone Bypass; one-way splits with US 1 in Petersburg In 1978, The gap on US 460 between Pearisburg and Newport was widened; the west half of the Farmville Bypass; east end of Blackstone Bypass to Wilson In 1979, the eastern end of the Bluefield Bypass and half the gap between Wilson and Ford were widened. In 1980, US 460 was widened in the Grundy area; gap west of Pearisburg; Wilson to Ford gap In 1981, US 460 was multilaned on the Pearisburg Bypass. In 1988, US 460 was widened across the Elizabeth River down to the VA 168 split. In 1991, US 460 was multilaned through Petersburg by being added to I-85 and I-95. In 1994, US 460 was multilaned on the Appomattox Bypass In 1997 or 1998, US 460 was widened on the eastern half of the Farmville Bypass In 1999 or 2000, US 460 was multilaned on the western half of the Bluefield Bypass. In 2002, US 460 was widened from Grundy halfway to Van Sant. In late 2013, US 460 was multilaned on the new bypass built between Van Sant and Grundy. In Jan 2015, US 460 was 4-laned between Glenvar and VA 112. Much of US 460 between Military Hwy and South Norfolk is undivided 4-lane, but VDOT Maps do not show this. The remaining 2-lane segments of US 460 in Virginia are: Kentucky to Grundy; I-81 to bottom of Christiansburg Mtn (3 lanes); through central Salem; VA 116 to 10th St in Roanoke (3 lanes); inside the corporate limits of Crewe (3 lanes); bits and pieces in the South Norfolk area Posted: Fully posted; Erroneously still fully posted with US 19 through Bluefield; the last known cutouts associated with mainline US 460 are on this piece of US 19 - 3 cutouts east of VA 102 as of 2008.

As such, US 460 would probably make more sense to be routed with I-81 around Salem and Roanoke and using 220 ALT to get back down to present US 460. Norfolk has now fully signed US 460 along Church St between Monticello Ave and Brambleton Ave, a process that began ca. 2004. However, official VDOT documents still have US 460 as following Monticello Ave. |

Creation: US 460 ALT appeared November 1952 (CTB Minutes). It
ran from US 13-58-460 Bowers Hill along US 58 to Portsmouth, then east
along Portsmouth Blvd to Norfolk Naval Shipyard, then north along 7th
St/Washington Ave. It turned east at today's I-264 to use the Downtown
Tunnel and the Berkley Bridge. In Norfolk, there was a simple trumpet
interchange at City Hall Ave. US 460 ALT cut west on City Hall, then
used one-way splits of Bank St (EB) and Monticello Ave (WB), ending at
US 460 Brambleton Ave. This is the 1st of 3 US 460 ALTs
Adjustments: Sometime after 1963, US 460 ALT EB in downtown Norfolk was removed from Bank St and put on St. Paul's Blvd. My guess is that it was moved as part of building the Norfolk Scope which opened in 1971.
US 460 ALT was moved onto I-264 from Portsmouth Blvd. through Portsmouth in March 1968 (CTB). Portsmouth Blvd remained part of VA 337 while the remainder is city streets.
US 460 ALT was not explicitly labeled on Officials until 1955. Improvements: Paved upon inception; Multilane on its VA 337 and I-264 multiplexes, plus Downtown Norfolk. Posted: Fully posted from Bowers Hill to I-264. The last shield EB directs you onto I-264. In 1993 there was 1 shield on Monticello Ave at City Hall Ave but appears to be gone now. By February 2013, a new shield was installed on Brambleton Ave at St. Paul's Blvd. Multiplexes: US 58 (3.79 mi) VA 337 (0.25 mi) I-264 (4.02 mi) I-264, VA 337 (0.41 mi) Legislative names: A.L. Philpott Memorial Highway, US 58 duplex (since 3/3/92) Other names: Airline Blvd (US 58 duplex); Portsmouth Blvd (VA 337 duplex); St. Pauls Blvd/Monticello Ave/City Hall Ave (Norfolk) Scenic Byway: no segments Comment: US 460 ALT is much more direct (4.15 miles shorter) from Bowers Hill to Norfolk than mainline US 460. |

US 460 ALT #4: Mentioned in CTB minutes from May 1962 to May 1964 as the Grundy Bypass. Since there is not a true bypass of Grundy now, this must refer to the US 460 EB lanes that skirt around the Downtown portion of Grundy. It is unclear when the road was reconfigured to be one-way eastbound. The 1958 County Atlas shows this as SR 1006. |

Previous US 460-Y's: |
US 460-Y: Appeared in Jan 1945 (CTB) as a renumbering of VA 299-Y. Was a 0.05 mile triangle piece at the intersection of US 301 and US 460 near Petersburg.
It appears this was physically destroyed by the construction of what is now I-95 in 1959. US 460Y is shown explicitly on the 1954-58 VDOT Officials. |
