The following is a list of former primary state highways completely or mostly within the Hampton Roads District (VDOT District 5[1]), formerly the Suffolk District, of the U.S. state of Virginia.

SR 88

State Route 88
Location: Emporia–Branchville
Existed: 1940–1948

State Route 88 was a primary state highway in the U.S. state of Virginia. The number was assigned in the 1940 renumbering to replace part of State Route 32, and SR 88 was transferred to the secondary system in 1943 and 1948. SR 88 ran from Branchville via Emporia to Purdy along current State Route 730 and part of State Route 619; SR 32 had continued east from Branchville to Boykins along State Route 195 and east from Purdy past Jarratt along State Route 608, State Route 139, and State Route 631.

SR 152

Virginia 152.svg45pxVirginia 158.svg33px

State Route 152 (ca. 1943-1944)
part of State Route 258 (1940-ca. 1943)
part of State Route 158 (1933-1940)
part pf State Route 507 (1930-1933)
Location: Smithfield-Rescue
Existed: 1930–1944

State Route 152 extended east on present secondary SR 704 from SR 10 (now SR 10 Business) east of Smithfield past Battery Park to Center Street in Rescue.[2] Just under half of the route was added to the state highway system in 1930 as an extension of State Route 507,[3] and in 1932 it was extended to Rescue.[4] SR 507 was renumbered 158 in the 1933 renumbering,[5] split between US 158 (North Carolina to Franklin) and SR 158 (Franklin to Rescue).[6] This became US 258 and SR 258 in the 1940 renumbering,[7] but by 1944, SR 258 was rerouted over the James River Bridge to replace SR 239 on Mercury Boulevard, and the stub from Smithfield to Rescue became a new SR 152.[8] This designation was short-lived, as it was downgraded to secondary in 1944.[9]

SR 174

Virginia 174.svg33px33px

State Route 174 (1933-1966)
State Route 519 (1928-1933)
State Route 397 (1926-1928)
Location: north of Lee Hall
Existed: 1926–1966

State Route 174 was a short cutoff between U.S. Route 60 and SR 238 bypassing Lee Hall to the north. The portion east of SR 143 is now Lebanon Church Road inside Naval Weapons Station Yorktown, while the remainder no longer exists as a roadway, having been covered by Interstate 64 and a former clay pit.

State Route 397, a spur from SR 39 (now US 60) to SR 391 (now SR 238),[10] was added to the state highway system in 1926.[11] It became State Route 519 in the 1928 renumbering[12] and State Route 174 in the 1933 renumbering.[5] The U.S. government took possession of the portion east of SR 168 (now SR 143) in 1952,[13] and in 1966 the remainder (now lying within the city of Newport News) was abandoned, since it had been destroyed by the construction of I-64.[14]

SR 177

Virginia 177.svg

State Route 177 (1933-1959)
Location: Accomac-Parksley
Existed: 1932–1959

State Route 177 extended along current SR 764, SR 763, and SR 673 from US 13 (now US 13 Business) in Accomac via Greenbush to SR 176 and SR 316 in Parksley. 3 miles (4.8 km) at the south end was added to the state highway system in 1932, with no number given,[15] and became SR 177 in the 1933 renumbering.[5] The rest of the route was added in 1938,[16] but only four years later this extension, as well as the remainder north of Greenbush, was downgraded to secondary[17] in favor of the shorter parallel SR 316. The remaining segment from Accomac to Greenbush was downgraded in 1959.[18]

SR 184

Virginia 184.svg33px

State Route 184 (1933-1953)
State Route 527 (1930-1933)
Location: Franktown-Nassawadox
Existed: 1930–1953

State Route 184 followed current secondary SR 606 from US 13 in Nassawadox northwest to Middletown and SR 618 southwest to Franktown. Lua error in Module:Convert at line 452: attempt to index field 'titles' (a nil value). at the east end became State Route 527 in 1930,[19] and the remainder was added in 1932.[20] SR 527 became SR 184 in the 1933 renumbering,[5] and in 1953 it was downgraded to secondary[21] as extensions of existing SR 606 and SR 618.[22]

SR 185

45pxVirginia 524 (old).svg33px

State Route 185 (1933-1952)
State Route 524 (1928-1933)
State Route 343 (1926-1928)
Location: Eastville-Eastville Station
Existed: 1926–1952

State Route 185 extended east along present SR 631 from US 13 (now US 13 Business) in Eastville to Eastville Station on the Bay Coast Railroad (former New York, Philadelphia and Norfolk Railroad). It was added to the state highway system in 1926 as State Route 343 (a spur of SR 34, now US 13),[10][23] changed to State Route 524 in the 1928 renumbering[12] and SR 185 in the 1933 renumbering,[5] and downgraded to secondary in 1952[24] as an extension of existing SR 631.[22]

SR 186

45pxVirginia 525 (old).svg

State Route 186 (1933-1951)
State Route 525 (1928-1933)
Location: Bayview-Kiptopeke
Existed: 1928–1951

State Route 186 extended south from US 13 (now US 13 Business) at Bayview (just outside Cheriton) to the former New York, Philadelphia and Norfolk Railroad (Pennsylvania Railroad) (now the Southern Tip Bike & Hike Trail) at Kiptopeke along current SR 684, US 13, SR 683, and part of SR 600. The majority of the route was added to the state highway system in 1928 as State Route 525,[25] which was extended another 1 mile (1.6 km) in 1930[26] and the remaining 1.3 miles (2.1 km) to Kiptopeke in 1932.[27] SR 525 became SR 186 in the 1933 renumbering.[5]

The Virginia Ferry Corporation opened a new terminal near Kiptopeke in 1949, rerouting its Little Creek-Cape Charles Ferry service from the old dock (leased from the Pennsylvania Railroad) at Cape Charles.[28] The state improved what was then SR 652, from SR 186 west of Capeville south to the new terminal, to primary standards, and realigned SR 186 near its north end to follow a more direct route.[29] The completed upgrade of SR 652 was transferred to the primary system in 1951 as a rerouted US 13,[30] and later that year the parts of SR 186 that had not become US 13 were downgraded to secondary[31] as an extension of existing SR 600[22] and new SR 683 and SR 684. (The Chesapeake Bay Bridge-Tunnel approach was later built next to the old railroad through Kiptopeke.)

SR 188

45px

State Route 188 (1933-1944)
Location: Norge-Croaker
Existed: 1932–1944

State Route 188 extended northeast along current SR 607 (and its former alignment, now SR 758) from US 60 at Norge to SR 606 at Croaker.[32] It was added to the state highway system in 1932, with no number given,[33] became SR 188 in the 1933 renumbering,[5] and was downgraded to secondary in 1944[34] as an extension of existing SR 607.[32] 0.4 miles (0.64 km) at I-64 was re-added to the primary system in 1965 (effective once I-64 was complete) as part of SR 168Y (now SR 30).[35]

SR 190

Virginia 190.svg33px

State Route 190 (1933-1954)
State Route 536 (1930-1933)
Location: SR 165-Creeds
Existed: 1930–1954

State Route 190 followed Blackwater Road and Pungo Ferry Road from Fentress Airfield Road (former SR 165) near North Landing south and east to Princess Anne Road (former SR 615) near Creeds. The former route is now entirely within the cities of Chesapeake and Virginia Beach.

Two segments of State Route 536 were created in 1930, extending south from SR 502 (later SR 165) almost to the Pocaty River and from the county line at the Pocaty River for 0.4 miles (0.64 km).[36][37] The Lua error in Module:Convert at line 452: attempt to index field 'titles' (a nil value). gap at the Pocaty River was filled in 1932, and a 5.2 miles (8.4 km) extension was added at the south end.[38][39] SR 536 became SR 190 in the 1933 renumbering,[5] and in October 1933 it was extended another 1.4 miles (2.3 km), taking it across the North Landing River to SR 615.[40][41] SR 190 was downgraded to secondary SR 726[citation needed] in 1952, effective once the new Pungo Ferry Bridge (which replaced Pungo Ferry) was complete,[42] which happened in 1954.[citation needed]

State Route 192 followed Kings Highway (now SR 125) and Crittenden Road from SR 10 at Chuckatuck northeast down the neck of land between Chuckatuck Creek and the Nansemond River in the direction of US 17 near Crittenden (where secondary State Route 628 ended) and Eclipse. The route is now entirely within the city of Chesapeake.

The first 1.4 miles (2.3 km) were added to the state highway system in 1931 as State Route 541,[43] which was extended 2.1 miles (3.4 km) in 1932[44] and became SR 192 in the 1933 renumbering.[5] It was extended another 0.8 miles (1.3 km) in October 1933,[45] ending 2.2 miles (3.5 km) short of US 17 (about midway between Sandy Bottom and Hobson),[46] and downgraded to secondary in 1947[47] as an extension of existing SR 628.[46] A short piece at the Chuckatuck end (which had become SR 630 rather than SR 628[48]) was returned to the primary system in 1963 as part of SR 125.[49] The former secondary route system of Nansemond County was transferred to the city of Suffolk on July 1, 2006, resulting in the SR 628 designation being dropped.

SR 288

State Route 288
Location: Temperanceville-Makemie Park
Existed: 1933–1947

State Route 288 ran along a small portion of present secondary SR 695 from US 13 at Temperanceville northwest to the Bay Coast Railroad (former New York, Philadelphia and Norfolk Railroad) at Makemie Park.[64] It was added to the primary state highway system in 1933, described as going towards Saxis Island,[65] and downgraded to secondary in 1947[66] as an extension of existing SR 695.[64] The US 13 intersection has since been relocated to the north.

SR 312

Virginia 312.svgVirginia 33.svg33px

State Route 312 (1937-1949)
State Route 33 (1933-1937)
State Route 508 (1928-1933)
Location: Schuyler
Existed: 1928–1951

State Route 312 extended from SR 35 north of Courtland northeast on modern SR 616 to beyond Ivor, with a disconnected second section on SR 626 northwest from US 258 Business in Smithfield.

The first piece was created in 1928 as State Route 508 from Courtland to Ivor.[67] In 1930 it was extended northeast from Ivor for 3.25 miles (5.23 km),[68] and in 1932 a further 1.65 miles (2.66 km) were tacked on, along with 3.88 miles (6.24 km) at the Smithfield end.[69] This put the final endpoints on either end of the gap at Lua error in Module:Convert at line 452: attempt to index field 'titles' (a nil value). short of Johnson Corner (the SR 621 intersection)[52] and Lua error in Module:Convert at line 452: attempt to index field 'titles' (a nil value). short of Septa (the SR 678 intersection).[2]

SR 508 became State Route 33 in the 1933 renumbering,[5] but when US 33 came to Virginia in 1937,[citation needed] it was renumbered 312. The different portions were downgraded to secondary in 1942 (northeast from Ivor), 1943 (northwest from Smithfield), and 1951 (Courtland to Ivor).[70] Existing SR 616 and SR 626[2][52] were extended onto the former segments of SR 312.
