List of former primary state highways in Virginia (Staunton District)

State Route 59 connected West Virginia Route 59 to Woodstock, continuing east about 5 miles (8.0 km) to near Mine Mountain Road in the George Washington National Forest, across Woodstock Gap from Fort Valley.

[10] Until some time between 1940 and 1946, SR 59 followed Laurel Run Road from the state line to near Liberty Furnace.

State Route 261 extended north from US 522 northwest of Winchester along current secondary SR 739 (Apple Pie Ridge Road) to the West Virginia state line, where it connected with County Route 26 to Bunker Hill.

State Route 827 was created in 1928 as the southernmost 2.7 miles (4.3 km) of what would become SR 261.

[26] It was added to the primary state highway system in 1932[27] as State Route 844,[28] renumbered SR 264 in the 1933 renumbering,[5] and downgraded to secondary in 1953[29] as an extension of existing SR 820.

It was added to the primary state highway system in 1932[30] as State Route 845,[31] running along the old Mount Jackson and Howard's Lick Turnpike,[citation needed] renumbered SR 265 in the 1933 renumbering,[5] and downgraded to secondary in 1943[32] as an extension of existing SR 717.

[35] South of Luray, two segments of 3 miles (4.8 km) each were added at either end in 1930, both as State Route 836.

First, the segment north of Luray was downgraded to secondary (becoming an extension of existing SR 678[33][39]).

State Route 267 followed current SR 611 (the old Cross Roads and Summit Point Turnpike[citation needed]) from US 340 near Stringtown north to the West Virginia state line in the direction of Summit Point.

State Route 268 extended southwest from SR 39 west of Warm Springs along present SR 687 through Bacova and Falling Spring (formerly Barber) to US 220 at Clearwater Park.

[citation needed] State Route 828 was created in 1930, with 4.5 miles (7.2 km) at the Warm Springs end and 5.5 miles (8.9 km) at the Clearwater Park end.

[5] A further extension of 9.3 miles (15.0 km) south from McDowell in 1935[56] and a final addition of 5.7 miles (9.2 km) in 1936 filled the gap and made SR 269 continuous from Windy Cove to West Virginia.

[59] The last relevant mentions of SR 269 in the State Highway Commission minutes are in 1954 and 1955, when various sections of former alignment in Highland and Bath Counties respectively bypassed by this construction were abandoned.

[63] The road south of Goshen was split back out as SR 270 in the 1933 renumbering,[5] and was downgraded to secondary in 1948.

[68] The portion northeast of Tinkling Spring returned to the primary system in 1998 as part of SR 285.

[5] SR 282 was extended the remaining 1 mile (1.6 km) to US 340 in October 1933,[75] but in 1943 both routes were downgraded to secondary.

[5] In 1945 the entire route was downgraded to secondary[86] as an extension of existing SR 612.

[citation needed] The route was downgraded to secondary in 1946[89] as an extension of existing SR 642.
