Creation:  Appeared in May 1946 (CTB) as a 0.32 mile loop off Grove Ave into Robert E. Lee Memorial Park in Richmond. This is the 4th VA 315. Adjustments:  In March 1956 (CTB), the access was reconfigured to a 0.28 mile driveway and the original loop (which dated back to at least 1925 - Sanborn Fire Map) was removed from VA 315. Google Maps Street View shows the driveway from Grove Ave is no longer a driveable road although it is a paved bike/walk path. In May 1957 (CTB), VA 315 was extended east 0.094 miles to meet VA 161. Posting:  Not at all Comment:  I've only seen this on the VDOT City Atlas Book. From 1885-1941 the park was the Confederate Soldier's Home. In addition to the Fine Arts Museum (opened 1936) the grounds also house the United Daughters of the Confederacy Memorial. Despite what the mapscan shows, the connection to VA 161 has always been opposite Hanover Ave.
