Virginia State Route 711 (Chesterfield and Powhatan Counties)

State Route 711 is a secondary state highway which runs from State Route 147 in Chesterfield County to U.S. Route 522 in Powhatan County, Virginia.

It is known in Chesterfield County as Robious Road, and in Powhatan County as the Huguenot Trail. The latter was named for the French Huguenot immigrants to the Virginia Colony who settled the area in the late 17th and early 18th centuries to escape religious persecution in their homeland of France.

Besides the termini, its only major intersection is with State Route 288 near the World War II Veterans Memorial Bridge which crosses the James River in Powhatan County.

The road is designated in Virginia as a scenic byway, but is not a primary highway. Instead, it is a considered a secondary route.
