US 340: 0 - 0 US 340 ALT END: 1.8 - 1.8

Creation: Appeared about 1950 as a renumbering of US 340, serving as an unposted spur to Harpers Ferry National Historic Park. This is the 2nd US 340 ALT.
| Adjustments: Between 1976-80, US 340 ALT was removed from CR 340/16 Washington Ct on its western end and sent south to new US 340, which was rerouted to a new alignment slightly south. Comments: Washington St in Bolivar and Harpers Ferry This should be a state highway designation or a spur, but since it is unposted I suppose it does not matter.

US 340 ALT #1: First requested by Virginia in April 1952 as part of rerouting US 340 south to US 11 near Greenville. In July 1952, AASHO approved rerouting US 340 and denied the US 340 ALT request. Though US 340 was again approved in July 1953 to be rerouted, I can't find any documentation showing US 340 ALT being eventually approved but it first appears on the 1954 Official as a renumbering of US 340 from Berryville to Winchester and as an addition to US 522 from Winchester south to US 340/VA 277 at Double Tollgate.
| In Oct 1962 (CTB), citing motorist confusion, US 340 ALT was dropped. Berryville to Winchester remained VA 7 and Winchester to Double Tollgate remained US 522 (used SR 760 in the Armel area).
