ROUTE LOG
US 58: 0 - 0
SR 612, SR 735: 3.65 - 3.65
Creation:  Appeared in 1937 as a renumbering of one of the myriad pieces of VA 32. Ran from VA 40 Sussex CH area south to the Sussex-Southampton County Line. This is the 2nd VA 308.
Adjustments:  In 1945 or 1946, a second discontinuous piece of VA 308 appeared, from US 58 to SR 612.
In April 1949 (CTB Minutes), the original piece of VA 308 was downgraded to SR 735, leaving behind current VA 308. The 5 mile gap between the pieces was never connected.
Improvements:  The initial section of VA 308 was paved upon designation
The southern (current) piece wasn't paved until 1951.

VA 306: 0.30 - 0.30
VA 308 #1:  Appeared in August 1928 as a new route. Ran from US 60-VA 10-VA 307 (curr US 460-VA 26) Appomattox to VA 306 (curr VA 131) Appomattox, 0.3 miles away. This was renumbered as part of VA 24 in July 1933. Today it is SR 748, since VA 24 was moved to the Appomattox Bypass.
The 1928 and 1929 Official Maps mislabel this as VA 309.
