wikimedia list article
The following is a list of former primary state highways completely or mostly within the Fredericksburg District (VDOT District 6) of the U.S. state of Virginia.
SR 124
State Route 124 connected SR 30 in Port Richmond (now within West Point limits) to the former Port Richmond Airport along present SR 701 (Euclid Boulevard). The first 1 mile (1.6 km) was added to the state highway system in 1930 as State Route 625, which was extended the remaining 0.2 miles (0.32 km) to the airport in 1932. SR 625 became SR 219 in the 1933 renumbering, but when US 219 entered Virginia in 1937 (and replaced SR 124), SR 219 became SR 124. SR 124 was downgraded to secondary in 1943 after the airport was abandoned.
SR 199
State Route 199 followed current secondary SR 684 from US 360 at Millers Tavern east across US 17 at Center Cross to the Rappahannock River at Bowlers Wharf. 9.6 miles (15.4 km), from Millers Tavern almost to Center Cross, was added to the state highway system in 1928 as State Route 604, which was extended the rest of the way to Bowlers Wharf in 1930. SR 604 became SR 199 in the 1933 renumbering and was downgraded to secondary in 1955.
SR 208
State Route 208 followed current secondary SR 605 and SR 626 from US 1 between Cedon and Thornburg east via Woodford to SR 2 at Villboro. 9.5 miles (15.3 km) at the west end was added to the state highway system in 1928 as State Route 615, which was extended the rest of the way to Villboro in 1930.
