State Route 36
A 16.70 mile long highway, Virginia Route 36 originates west of Matoca in southern Chesterfield County. Paralleling the Appomattox River, SR 36 runs east from the intersection of SR 602 (River Road) and SR 669 (Church Road) to the community of Ettrick and the campus of Virginia State University. Turning southeast along Chesterfield Avenue, SR 36 continues 0.81 miles to the Petersburg city line across the Appomattox River.
SR 36 lines Grove Avenue east from University Boulevard to Old Street north of Downtown Petersburg. The state route dog legs south along Sycamore Street to a one way couplet along Bank Street east and Bollingbrok Street west. U.S. 301 accompanies SR 36 along the couplet to N Crater Road, which leads both routes south to U.S. 460 Business along Wythe Street east and Washington Street west. U.S. 301 joins U.S. 460 Business on S Crater Road while SR 36 turns east to leave Petersburg on Washington Street.
