Virginia Roads And A GA 400 Update

First of all, regarding my last blog...

Michael Roberson (a.k.a. "Mapmikey"), co-curator of the Virginia Highways Project website, posted the following comment on both the Southeast Roads Yahoo! Group (seroads) and misc.transport.road...

There are numerous state-maintained routes in Virginia shorter than this.

Primary: VA 54Y is 0.03 mi
VA 201Y is 0.11 mi
VA 300Y is 0.04 mi
other Y routes that are now gone were shorter than that (208Y, 340Y)
VA 124 is 0.17 mi gone now but VA 289 was 0.13 mi (Wythe County)
VA 332 is 0.14 mi
VA 335 is 0.18 mi
VA 342 is 0.16 mi
VA 349 is 0.12 mi
VA 363 is 0.14 mi
VA 374 is 0.14 mi
VA 390 is 0.13 mi
VA 391 is 0.17 mi
VA 399 is 0.11 mi

The list of secondary routes less than this is astronomical but F-338 on VA 30 at I-95 is listed officially at 0.03 mi but the end state maintenance sign appears to be much closer to VA 30 than 150 ft.


A very special thanks to "Mapmikey" for the clarification and we here at "The Georgia Road Geek" encourage you, dear reader, to visit his website to learn more about Virginia's roads. :)

And finally, some new Georgia road news regarding GA 400...

According to an article published on Sunday, August 13, 2006, in the Forsyth County News, Georgia State Transpotation Board Chairman Mike Evans stated that the US 19/GA 400 widening between HolcombBridge Road (Exit 7) and Windward Parkway (Exit 11) should be complete by October 31, 2006, and the portion from Windward to McFarland Parkway (Exit 12) will be completed by February 28, 2007.

That's all for now. Thanks for visiting and please do so often.
