Virginia

* The Cumberland Gap Tunnel replaced the two lane U.S. Highway 25E over the Gap to allow four lanes of traffic to travel the route. The existing road was closed except for a short section used by The National Park Service. The pavement was recently removed for more of a historic look [http://www.google.com/maps?q=Middlesboro,+KY,+USA&ie=UTF8&t=h&om=1&ll=36.603402,-83.670588&spn=0.027148,0.058365&z=14&iwloc=addr]

=Danville=

*At the interchange of US 29 at State Route 41, SR 41 is only open to the east of the interchange, but with stub and ramp stubs leading to and from SR 41 to the west. [http://www.wikimapia.org/#lat=36.615975&lon=-79.363861&z=15&l=0&m=h&v=2] Fact|date=February 2007

*North of town, at the interchange of US 29 and US 29 Business, the former US 29 North highway is still intact and out of use. The former US 29 South highway is in use as the US 29 Business south offramp. [http://www.wikimapia.org/#lat=36.700434&lon=-79.368464&z=17&l=0&m=s&v=2] Fact|date=February 2007

*On the Danville Expressway (US 29/US 58) at the Holland Road overpass, there are four stub ramps around the overpass, suggesting a diamond interchange was intended. [http://www.wikimapia.org/#lat=36.546363&lon=-79.432247&z=17&l=0&m=h&v=2] Fact|date=February 2007

=Richmond=

*At the northern end of the I-295 partial beltway in Short Pump, at the interchange with I-64, the roadway of I-295 continues beyond the cloverleaf ramps for a few hundred feet into the weeds. This was presumably built with the assumption that I-295 would someday be extended from there, perhaps to ultimately complete an entire loop around Richmond. But instead, State Route 288 would eventually be built to serve as the western arc around the city.

*At the I-95/State Route 150/State Route 895 interchange, ramp stubs exist for two eventual connections between I-95 and Route 895 [cite web|url=http://www.aaroadtrips.com/va-895.html|title=Virginia 895|publisher=AARoads] . Currently, eastbound Route 895 cannot be accessed from southbound I-95. Interestingly enough, I-95 and Route 895 could be considered the de facto southeastern loop of Richmond, filling in the missing gap left by the cancellation and subsequent reroute of the aforementioned I-295.

Falls Church

*At the Interstate 495/I-66 interchange, an old ramp roadbed remains from the elimination of a left merge from I-495 north to I-66 west. The new ramp is an overpass over I-66 to create a safer, right-merge.

=Blacksburg=

*West of town, on the western slope of Brush Mountain, an old section of US 460 remains south of the present-day US 460 in Jefferson National Forest. The old section is just 2 lanes, while the present-day US 460 is a four lane divided highway. [http://maps.google.com/maps?ie=UTF8&ll=37.282154,-80.448391&spn=0.002766,0.005021&t=h&z=18&om=1]
