VA: VA 237 needs an extension
« on: September 29, 2019, 06:02:59 pm »
The highway browser shows VA 237 as ending at VA 120 near I-66, although it actually has a brief concurrency with VA 120 before running through the suburbs and ending at US 50. I have waypoints in my list file for this section of VA 237, so I'm assuming that this section got removed at one point or another, although OSM and Google Maps both still have this section labelled as VA 237. Did it get decommissioned or is this a mistake?

It was truncated as mentioned in the following thread earlier this year.

I live there. Still lots of VA 237 signage at the VA 120/237 Fairfax Dr. intersection, and on the relinquished route east of that intersection. Maybe VDOT was sloppy about not removing VA 237 signage on the roads turned over to Arlington County, and maybe it lacks authority to either remove the old signage on what are now county-controlled roads, or force the county to remove it. But VDOT still controls VA 120 and presumably can remove VA 237 signage thereon, once it gets off its ass and cleans up the signage.

VDOT could go farther, and put an End VA 237 sign assembly on Washington Blvd. at its intersection with VA 120. Not holding my breath on that one, either.
