State Route 169 (SR 169) is a primary state highway in the U.S. state of Virginia. The state highway runs 7.41 miles (11.93 km) from Interstate 64 (I-64) and U.S. Route 60 (US 60) to US 258 within the independent city of Hampton. SR 169 is a C-shaped route that connects the Hampton neighborhoods of Phoebus, Buckroe Beach, and Fox Hill.

Route description

SR 169 begins at the highway's

divided highway to the Buckroe Beach neighborhood. Next to Buckroe Park, the state highway intersects SR 351 (Pembroke Avenue). SR 169 turns west and runs concurrently with SR 351 on two-lane undivided Pembroke Avenue before turning northeast onto Old Buckroe Road. The state highway follows the two-lane road to the southern edge of the Fox Hill neighborhood, where the highway turns west onto Fox Hill Road. SR 169 follows the four-lane undivided highway west and then southwest through several neighborhoods to its northern terminus at US 258 (Mercury Boulevard).^[1]^[2]

History

The road from

1933 renumbering

it became State Route 169.

In 1934, a loop at Buckroe Beach was added to SR 169, running north on Resort Boulevard, west on Buckroe Avenue, and south on Mallory Street.

U.S. Route 258 (Mercury Boulevard).^[5] The loop was removed in 1975, leaving only the Mallory Street-Pembroke Alignment at Buckroe Beach.^[6]

Fox Hill Road has since been realigned to meet US 258 east of SR 278.

At the Phoebus end, SR 169 was extended southwest along Mallory Street to Mellen Street, a single block extra, in 1979, due to a realignment of

Interstate 64 near the Veterans Administration, despite Hampton requesting said extension in 1948^[8] and this extension being signed on I-64.^[9]

In September 2019, the section of SR 169 from SR 351 to US 258 in Phoebus was given to the city of Hampton, creating a gap in the route.[10] So far, there has been no announcement of renumbering one of the two remaining sections of the road.
