List of former primary state highways in Virginia (Culpeper and Northern Virginia Districts)
wikimedia list article
The following is a list of former primary state highways completely or mostly within the Culpeper and Northern Virginia District (VDOT Districts 7 and 9), formerly combined as the Culpeper District, of the U.S. state of Virginia.
SR 110
State Route 110 was a short primary state highway in Alexandria, Virginia, United States, planned to connect U.S. Route 1 with a bridge across the Potomac River to the District of Columbia.
The roadway was to begin at Henry Street (US 1, now southbound only) just south of First Street, head east-northeast to the intersection of Washington Street (now State Route 400) and Second Street, and then run east on Second Street to the river for a total length of 0.29 miles (0.47 km). The 0.16-mile (0.26 km) part on Second Street was added as a state highway connection, to be maintained by the City of Alexandria with state funding. The proposed bridge site was just south of the Shepherd's Landing Bridge, a temporary rail bridge built at Third Street during World War II in case of attack on the Long Bridge to the north. That rail bridge was demolished in early 1947. In 1956, SR 110 was removed from the state highway system, as the proposed bridge had moved to the south (to the location of the present Woodrow Wilson Bridge).
SR 232
State Route 232 extended east along current SR 707 from SR 27 (now SR 231) at Revercombs Corner via Slate Mills to SR 3 (now US 522) at Boston. The westernmost 1 mile (1.6 km) was added to the state highway system in 1928 as State Route 706, which was extended 2.5 miles (4.0 km) in 1929, 1.7 miles (2.7 km) in 1930, and the remaining 2.1 miles (3.4 km) in 1932. SR 706 became SR 232 in the 1933 renumbering and was downgraded to secondary in 1943.
This brief starts where responsible research should: with the source description of “List of former primary state highways in Virginia (Culpeper and Northern Virginia Districts)” as wikimedia list article. Everything that follows is an evidence route, not borrowed authority.
Why this record matters
The subject matters to the general reference register because the source frames it as wikimedia list article. Its deeper value depends on whether names, dates, institutions and citations support that framing.
Vocabulary and entity names are the principal evidence signals here, because they determine the precision of every later search. The source revision retrieved here is dated May 16, 2025. The linked authority identifier is Q18148102. None of the 0 selected statements returned an explicit reference. The first chronological checks are 1947, 1956, 1928 and 1929.
The absence of detail may reflect summary conventions rather than a lack of surviving documentation. The source lead contains qualifying language; that uncertainty should survive quotation, summary and reuse. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
