Adjustments: VA 223 was extended onto the island at some point (VDOT maps are vague about this). Maps through 1944 are clear it is not on the island (although a bridge existed in the early 40's), and it was on the island when I drove there in 1992. Posting: Fully posted. Comment: VA 223 crosses a fairly old drawbridge across Milford Haven that serves as the sole vehicle access to/from Gwynn Island. |

It appears that VA 225 was renumbered as VA 206 in October 1932 when the route was added within the city of Roanoke. Today it is a bit of VA 419 and SR 780. Thanks to NE2 for finding this VA 225.

Creation: Appeared in July 1933. Started out in 4 pieces: 1. US 29 North Garden northwest for 5 miles. This replaced VA 700. 2. VA 5 (curr VA 240) Crozet to Boonesville. 3. Nortonsville to VA 4 (curr US 33) near Stanardsville. Pieces 2 and 3 had been part of VA 704. 4. Madison-Greene County line to Madison, then due east to just short of US 15 Locust Park. West of Madison was part of VA 704. East of Madison was VA 722. This has been the only VA 230.
| Adjustments: Pieces 2 and 3 were made continuous in 1937. In 1938, Piece 4 became continuous with pieces 2-3. Between 1942-44, piece 1 was downgraded to SR 692 and the larger piece of VA 230 was extended south of Crozet to US 250, replacing what had been part of US 250. Meanwhile, VA 230 was truncated on the other end to US 29 south of Madison. Between 1945-47, VA 230 was extended east to US 15 Madison Mills, replacing what was VA 27. In 1951, VA 230 assumed its current routing, as the 29 miles between Stanardsville and Crozet were downgraded to SR 810. The piece from Crozet to US 250 became part of an extended VA 240. Posting: Fully posted; cutouts at VA 230-231 jct. Comment: A scenic ride in the foothills. | Previous VA 230's: | VA 230Y: Mentioned in CTB minutes as being decommissioned in May 1950.

Creation: Appeared in July 1933 in 3 pieces: 1. VA 22 Cismont to US 15-VA 4 (curr US 15-33) Gordonsville. This had been VA 701. 2. Rapidan River north of Somerset to 2 miles west of Criglersville. This had been VA 701 south of Madison and VA 705 north of Madison. 3. VA 340 (curr US 340 Bus) Stanley to VA 266 (curr SR 689) near Ida. That's right! Current VA 231 once existed west of the mountains! This piece was VA 836. This is the 2nd VA 231.
| Adjustments: Pieces 1 and 2 were connected in 1938. Between 1939-41, VA 231 was given the VA 230-US 29 multiplex it has today in the Madison area, leaving behind the more direct SR 687. Between 1945-47, piece 3 was renumbered as part of VA 266. Today it is SR 689. Also in this timeframe, VA 231 was removed from Criglersville (leaving behind SR 670) and routed north over VA 27 to US 522 Sperryville. Posting: Fully posted; a couple cutouts in Gordonsville and at the VA 230-231 jct. On March 20, 2004 I observed error US 231 signs at the SR 609 intersection near Barco. Comments: The piece from then-VA 27 to Criglersville may have been a separate 4th piece as there may not have been a multiplex with VA 27 north of Madison. The DeLorme Gazeteer shows a crude road connecting the Criglersville piece to the piece in Stanley. Perhaps it had been envisioned connecting them up. Entire route is a Virginia Scenic Byway. In Rappahannock Co., this route is F.T. Valley Road. Wonder what F.T. stands for. | Previous VA 231's: | VA 231 #1: Created in 1923, running from VA 23 (curr US 460) Rich Creek north to then-WV 24.

By 1937 VA 233 was extended over unnumbered roads to VA 28 (curr VA 215) Bristow. In 1940 or 1941, VA 233 was truncated to Catlett, as VA 28 was rerouted to Remington instead of New Baltimore.

Creation: Appeared in July 1933 in 2 pieces: 1. US 1 Dumfries to US 15-50 Gilbert's Corner. This replaced VA 709. 2. 1 mile south of VA 7 Purcellville to then-MD 33 (curr MD 17) at Brunswick MD. This was a renumbering of VA 721. This has been the only VA 234.
| Adjustments: In 1941, piece 1 was rerouted to end at US 15 where it does now. The direct route from Manassas to US 50 became SR 705 and a little of US 15. Also, piece 2 was renumbered as a piece of VA 17. Today this piece is mostly VA 287 and a little SR 690. Instead, another separate piece appeared as a stub from VA 7 to Bluemont, replacing what was VA 245 (see scan at right). This stub was downgraded to SR 734 between 1942-44. VA 234's bypass was opened in 1998, but only from I-66 to VA 28. The completion to VA 234 south of town opened in mid to late 2001. Posting: Fully posted; there is a 234 cutout on VA 28 NB just past 234 Bypass in Manassas, attached to a medium green sign. VA 234 signs in circles appeared on the newly completed 4-lane section around Lake Jackson, but were quickly replaced with the correct shields. Additionally, VA 234 reassurance signs have appeared on I-66, and at the 234 Business exit in Manassas signs clearly indicate a VA 234 multiplex with I-66. In April 2005 Dan F reports 234 in circles at Richmond Ave in Manassas. Comment: VA 234 is now 4-lane from I-66 south to nearly Independent Hill, with widening all the way to Dumfries on the horizon. The bypass is incorrectly shown open south of VA 28 on the '98 VDOT map. ![]() VA 234 in 1941. |

| Adjustments: VA 237 was moved to its Washington Blvd. alignment in 1940 or 1941. VA 237 was extended west along US 29 and Old Lee Hwy into downtown Fairfax in 1962. VA 237 was rerouted to its current ending between US 29 and VA 236 in 1988. Posting: Fully posted from US 29 SB (Pickett Rd is not posted at all), but not from VA 7. Cutout still up in Feb 2002 on VA 338 WB and at VA 7. Russ Blau reports that VA 237 between US 29 and VA 120 is also not posted, except at US 29, where there is a wrong-way VA 237 sign. Comment: This is a very strange, and some would say pointless, route. It starts at US 50 in Arlington, follows 10th St. N. and Fairfax Dr. to Glebe Rd. (VA 123), then north on Glebe to Washington Blvd., west to join with US 29 through Falls Church to Fairfax Circle, then east on US 50 for one block, and south on Pickett Rd. to VA 236. The dogleg at Fairfax Cir. is particularly bizarre, since a short section of Blake Lane provides a more direct route. |
