U.S. 29
VA 29  not currently assigned
Previous VA 29's: VA 29 #1: Appeared in 1923. Ran from Gloucester Pt. to VA 30 (curr. VA 33) near West Point. This had been one of the original VA 9 Spurs. Today this is US 17 and VA 14. In 1927 it's entire route was part of US 17, but was saved from elimination when a direct US 17 opened up in 1929 from Gloucester to Saluda.
In 1929 VA 29 was extended north to 3 miles north of VA 13 (curr US 360) St Stephens Church. This eliminated the original VA 131. Also VA 29 south was truncated to Adner (curr US 17-VA 14 split).
In 1930-31, a second piece of VA 29 appeared, from VA 50 (curr US 301-VA 2) near Bowling Green to 5 miles SE. This was not previously numbered. Additionally, the southern piece was extended further north to near the Caroline County Line.
VA 29 was renumbered in its entirety to VA 14 in July 1933.

VA 29 #2: Created in July 1933 as an odd US route extension for US 29. It ran from Culpeper to Warrenton via Jeffersonton, replacing the southern section of VA 28. Today this is VA 229 and SR 802, which replaced VA 29 between 1948-51. This must have been confusing. The VA 360 of its time.

 Creation:  Appeared in 1923. Began at VA 13 (curr. US 360) in Central Garage and proceed through West Point and Saluda to end in the town of Urbanna. This was mostly new routing except West Point to VA 29 (curr VA 14 EB), which was part of an original VA 9 Spur. This would be today's VA 30, 33, and 227.
Adjustments:  In 1929, VA 30 was extended west over unnumbered routing to Mangohick.
In 1930-1931 VA 30 was extended west again to the Caroline County line over an unnumbered road.
In July 1933 VA 30 went westward to VA 2 Dawn, and the east end was moved from Urbanna to US 60 near Toano, replacing the original VA 53. The original VA 30 east of West Point became VA 4 (curr VA 33) and VA 227. Also in July 1933 a discontinuous segment appeared from VA 51 (curr. SR 738) to Louisa Couty, west of Beaverdam, replacing VA 428. This is curently SR 739. Between 1942-1944, the west segment was renumbered as VA 51Y.
In 1971-72 VA 30 was extended west to US 1 over SR 652, and also VA 79 #3.
In 1980 VA 30 was extended to its current eastern end, replacing VA 168Y. In 1986 VA 30 was moved to its alignment between Barharmsville and West Point, replacing part of VA 249. Old VA 30's route became VA 273.
Posting:  Fully Posted; Cutout still up in West Point (from VA 298).
Comments:  A good alternate to bypass beach traffic from Williamsburg to Fredericksburg.
