VA 500: Appeared in August 1928 as a renumbering of VA 1013 from US 117/VA 10 (now US 58) along Laskin Rd to Atlantic Ave, then replacing VA 101 around Cape Henry over to the Lynnhaven Inlet area, then as new routing over to Ocean View and Willoughby Split.
About 1930, US 60 was added to VA 500 from Ocean View around to Laskin Rd.
In 1932, VA 500 east was truncated to Shore Dr at Pleasure House Rd, replaced by VA 12 over to Virginia Beach and VA 501 on Laskin Rd.
In July 1933, the rest of VA 500 was dropped from US 60.

VA 501 #1: Appeared in August 1928 as replacing VA 101 from Atlantic-Laskin jct south to Virginia Beach Blvd (then-US 117/VA 10), then 1.7 miles further south across Rudee Inlet to Camp Pendleton (Rifle Range then) as new routing.
In 1932, VA 501 was renumbered as part of VA 12. Today it is unnumbered north of 17th St; US 60 from 17th to Rudee Inlet; unnumbered S. Atlantic Ave below Rudee Inlet. See second scan in VA 504 entry.

VA 501 #2: Appeared in 1932 as a renumbering of part of VA 500. Ran on Laskin Rd from US 58/VA 10 to US 60/VA 12 Atlantic Ave.
In July 1933, VA 501 was renumbered to VA 164. Today it is part of US 58. See second scan under VA 500 entry.

VA 501 #3: The highest number to be used three times in Virginia, VA 501 was born in July 1933. It began in Buena Vista, duplexing with US 60 to Lexington, then north with US 11. Then it replaced VA 805 and VA 805-Y to Goshen; VA 17 to Millboro Springs; VA 804 and VA 804-Y through Warm Springs west to short of the West Virginia line. The draft 1933 route log has this route as VA 9.
In Aug 1933 (CTB), VA 501 was extended west to West Virginia, meeting WV 39.
It appears by Oct 1934, VA 501 was removed from US 11 (today's US 11 Bus) and US 60. Note that in Buena Vista, VA 501 began at Alleghany at 29th, using Alleghany to Orchard over to modern 60.
About 1938, VA 501 was extended south slightly to the new US 11 approach over the Maury River when US 11 was removed from the covered bridge. The new endpoint is today's US 11/SR 681 jct.
In Oct 1940, VA 501 was renumbered as VA 39. It is still mostly VA 39 except in Rockbridge Baths it used today's SR 722; It used SR 681 between US 11 and I-64. In Goshen, it is unclear if VA 501 became VA 39 mainline first or was directly renumbered to VA 39 ALT. VA 501 definitely did not move when VA 42 was rerouted around the north of Goshen.
VA 501Y: Created Dec. 1938 in the CTB Minutes as a 0.04 mile connection to US 60. Because the primary routes in Buena Vista were different up to at least the late 1930s, it is not entirely clear where this was although I believe it may have been what is today the northernmost 0.04 mile of today's US 501 (the original VA 14 and maybe US 501 at first used Factory St to get west of the railroad then moved north to VA 13/US 60. Don't know when VA 501Y was terminated but it does NOT appear in the 1941 VDOT Route Log.

In Dec 1930 (CTB), VA 510 was extended north 1.37 miles from Surry.
In June 1931 (CTB), VA 510 was extended again to Scotland Wharf
In March 1933 (CTB), a permit was granted to Eastern Virginia Bridge Company to build a bridge between Scotland Wharf and Jamestown Island.
In July 1933, VA 510 became part of VA 31. From Jamestown to Williamsburg it is VA 5, VA 31, SR 682, west along today's Colonial Pkwy, then cut south at the parking area to a causeway (still visible on Google Earth) and crossed Thoroughfare Creek onto Jamestown Island to meet the ferry in the area of the historic settlement.
VA 510 #2: According to the 2001 and 2003 VDOT route logs, a proposed VA 510 will be built from I-564 to the US Naval Base and International Terminal.
In 2012, the project now known as the I-564 Intermodal Connector received the go-ahead. This road would run from I-564 near Chambers Field over to a new interchange near Hampton Blvd, connecting to N.I.T. and the southern part of Naval Station Norfolk. It will line up with the planned Patriots Crossing ("the thrid crossing") over to I-664 just south of the south tunnel entrance at MMBT.
The link above implies the connector might be part of I-564. No current document associated with the project retains the VA 510 designation.

It is unclear what happened to 510Y in July 1933. The City of Williamsburg's primary designations were not established until Aug 1934 CTB, but the general corridor 510Y used is in the 1934 description. Did it become VA 31Y?

VA 520: Appeared in Aug 1928 as new primary routing, running from US 13-VA 34 east 6.3 miles. This assignment was contingent upon a satisfactory option for a bridge to Chincoteague to become available.
In June 1930 (CTB), VA 520 was extended to Chincoteague.
In Dec 1930 (CTB), VA 520 was sent south with US 13 to Oak Hall, then west over CR 107 to the railroad tracks.
In July 1933, VA 620 became VA 175. Today, the piece west of US 13 is SR 703, while at Wallops Station VA 520 used SR 798 east through the facility to pick up current VA 175 at the west end of the causeway.
VA 520 does not show up on the 1929 Official. The extension west doesn't show up on the 1932 Accomac County map.
