VA: VA 325, VA 357, and VA 36 notes
« on: June 25, 2018, 09:09:33 pm »
On my way out of Virginia (now in southern NC, and heading south then west), I checked out some of the minor routes along US 301 and in Petersburg.

VA 325 (spur to Barrett Learning Center) is now completely unsigned, not even white rectangles.

VA 357 (spur to Southside Virginia Training Center) still has its white rectangles, but no other route markings. Also, the training center has been completely demolished (as forecast in the VHP item on route 357), and the access road is closed about 50 feet from US 1. I don't know what will take the place of the center or the route.

VA 36's route file includes a waypoint for VA327 (spur to Virginia State University), but that route is not in the HB. I saw no route markers of any kind for VA 327 along US 1. I suggest renaming that point.

I found a Sep 2017 article that says Dominion Energy is taking over the SVTC which means I expect that VA 357 will be decommssioned.

VA 327 hasn't been posted in my experience back to the early 90s

Not sure what to make of the status of VA 325 but I will remove from HB since it is not posted at all anymore.

Relooking at this, should the VA 357 points on US 1 and US 460 BUS (Petersburg) have been marked as closed? (as *VA357)

EDIT:  Driving by there last night, I did not see anything related to VA 357.  The intersection may be at an entrance to the Dominion Energy parking lot.  Therefore, I support marking VA357 as closed.
