Southbound along VA 100. As with US 460 noted below, VDOT logs suggest that VA 42 has a short duplex with VA 100, but does not exist between VA 100 and US 460. Photo by Adam Froehlig, taken May 24, 2003. |

Along the westbound lanes of US 460 in the small hamlet of Newport. VA 42 has three distinct segments, with this being the signed southern termini of the central segment. VDOT logs suggest that VA 42 actually continues duplexed with US 460 west to SR 730. Photo by Adam Froehlig, taken in 2002. |

These three photographs denote access from I-64 to the "northern segment" of VA 42, as well as to VA 269. The actual terminus isn't at this interchange, though. It's about 400 yards south, where VA 42 intersects with Longdale Furnace Rd (old US 60 and now SR 632 and VA 269). The top two photos were taken westbound on May 24, 2003. The bottom photo was taken eastbound on May 6, 2003. Photos by Adam Froehlig. |
