U.S. Highway 460 - Virginia

U.S. 460 East
Eastbound on the overlap of U.S. 13 north with U.S. 58 & 460 eastbound at the Suffolk and Chesapeake city line. The three highways cosign between the Suffolk city center eastward to Interstate 664. The sign bridge displayed here partitions the three eastbound lanes into the counterparts of U.S. 58 & 460 Alternate eastbound and U.S. 13 northbound & U.S. 460 eastbound. Contrary to the signage, U.S. 13 and U.S. 460 actually follow U.S. 58 through the interchange with Interstate 664, then they split off of U.S. 58 at the intersection with Joliff Rd east of the interchange. The connection leads something to be desired and may be the reasoning for elluding to U.S. 13 & 460 following the Interstate 264 eastbound ramp.1 Top photo taken 12/17/01; bottom photo taken 05/01.
A second set of signs for the impending U.S. 13 north & 460 east parting from U.S. 58. Interstate 664 connects the U.S. highway trio with the cities of Newport News and Hampton via the Monitor-Merrimac Memorial Bridge Tunnel. Traffic to the Chesapeake Bay Bridge Tunnel (U.S. 13) is advised to stay on Interstate 64 Outer. Top photo taken 12/17/01; bottom photo taken 05/01.
Traffic to Interstate 264 eastbound and U.S. 13 & 460 departs U.S. 58 east. The official routing of U.S. 13 & 460 however, continues eastward along U.S. 58 to Joliff Road. From there the paired highways turn southward on Joliff to the Military Highway. Ramps to Interstate 264 and the Hampton Roads Beltway (Interstate 64 & 664) otherwise depart within one half mile. U.S. 460 remains overlapped with U.S. 13 on the Military Highway through to the intersection with Bainbridge Boulevard (Virginia 166). Photo taken 12/17/01.
U.S. 460 Alternate begins at the U.S. 58 split with U.S. 13 south & 460 east at the Airline Boulevard/Joliff Road intersection. Virginia 191 follows Joliff Road to the north from U.S. 13-58-460-460A. Traffic wishing to access Interstate 664 northbound departs from the trio in one half mile. Ahead is the Interstate 664 overcrossing and Exit 13B on-ramp merge from the Hampton Roads Beltway southbound. Photo taken 12/17/01.
The lane added from Exit 13B of Interstate 664 southbound becomes exit-only for Interstate 664 northbound. The Hampton Roads Beltway links U.S. 13-58-460 and the city of Suffolk with Newport News and Hampton to the north of the James River. U.S. 58 & 460A meanwhile part with U.S. 13 & 460 eastward into the city of Portsmouth. Photo taken 12/17/01.
Northbound on Granby Street (U.S. 460) near the confluence of Interstate 64 & 564 adjacent to the Norfolk Navy Base. A cloverleaf loop exists to carry U.S. 460 eastbound motorists onto Interstate 564 westbound. Displayed here is a shield and guide sign assembly at the ramp departure. The first mainline exit of Interstate 564 is with Virginia 406 (International Terminal Boulevard). Photo taken 01/06/01.

The eastern terminus of U.S. 460, heralded with an end sign. The intersection depicted is that of Granby Street at U.S. 60 (Ocean View Avenue). The waters of the Chesapeake Bay lie just beyond the homes beyond the traffic lights. Photo taken 01/06/01.
U.S. 460 West
Between Bay View Avenue and Interstate 564, U.S. 460 (Granby Street) parallels the westbound side of the Hampton Roads Beltway. A pair of ramps exist between Granby Street and Interstate 64 east and west. Depicted here is an older state-named shield for the eastbound on-ramp. Photo taken 04/13/01.
The ramp to Interstate 64 east occurs just north of the Interstate 564 eastern terminus. A one block street stems westward from Granby Street underneath of the Hampton Roads Beltway for the on-ramp. A gate is situated west of the ramp at the Norfolk Navy Base perimeter. Photo taken 04/13/01.
Interstate 664 northbound traffic merges onto U.S. 13 south & U.S. 58 & 460 westbound. U.S. 13 south & 460 west depart the Military Highway underneath Interstate 664 to merge with U.S. 58 & 460 Alternate at Bowers Hill. From there U.S. 460 Alternate ends and the trio turn westward to cross paths with the Hampton Roads Beltway again. Displayed here is the Interstate 664 southbound cloverleaf ramp of U.S. 13 south and U.S. 58 & 460 west. Photo taken 12/17/01.
The first southbound reassurance shield of Interstate 85 in the city of Petersburg (pop. 33,740). For the next seven miles U.S. 460 overlaps with Interstate 85 (between Exits 68 and 61). The sign assembly featured here includes a cutout shield for U.S. 460 west. Photo taken 10/14/01.
A second set of Interstate 85 & U.S. 460 cutout shields is posted beyond the Exit 65 diamond interchange at Squirrel Level Road. The first five miles of Interstate 85 constitute the southernmost portion of the original Richmond-Petersburg Turnpike. Photo taken 10/14/01.
