State Route 170 is a primary state highway in Norfolk, Virginia, United States. It is a short route, running along Little Creek Road between State Route 165 (Military Highway) and U.S. Route 60 (Shore Drive) at Naval Amphibious Base Little Creek.

History

Little Creek Road east of Granby Street (then State Route 170, now U.S. Route 460) was added to the state highway system in 1942 as State Route 351, at the same time as the eastern half of Military Highway was added; [CTB minutes|03-1942-01, page 14] this route connected the Military Highway bypass with several military installations. By 1947, [CTB minutes|07-1946-01, page 55] State Route 168 was extended from Newport News over the ferry to Sewell's Point, replacing State Route 165 on Admiral Taussig Boulevard (now mostly Interstate 564) and the majority of SR 351, from Taussig Boulevard east to US 60. The small piece of SR 351 west of Taussig Boulevard became a realigned SR 165; SR 351 was entirely eliminated (and immediately reused at its current location to replace part of former SR 168).

SR 168 was realigned to use the newly-opened Hampton Roads Bridge-Tunnel in late 1957, and it took over the former State Route 170 through Norfolk to North Carolina. Thus the State Route 170 designation was freed for a renumbering of the former SR 168 in Norfolk, from Hampton Boulevard (State Route 337) near the old ferry southeast on Taussig Boulevard and east on Little Creek Road to US 60. [CTB minutes|11-1957-02, pages 6-8] In 1979, Interstate 564 replaced most of the Taussig Boulevard piece of SR 170, and the rest became an extension of SR 337; thus SR 170 was truncated to its current length by also removing the State Route 165 overlap. [CTB minutes|01-1979-01, pages 33 and 34]
