State Route 124 markerState Route 124
LocationPort Richmond
Existed1930–1943

State Route 124 connected SR 30 in Port Richmond (now within West Point limits) to the former Port Richmond Airport along present SR 701 (Euclid Boulevard). The first 1 mile (1.6 km) was added to the state highway system in 1930 as State Route 625, which was extended the remaining 0.2 miles (0.32 km) to the airport in 1932. SR 625 became SR 219 in the 1933 renumbering, but when US 219 entered Virginia in 1937 (and replaced SR 124), SR 219 became SR 124. SR 124 was downgraded to secondary in 1943 after the airport was abandoned.

SR 199

The route is now portions of SR 208 Business, SR 208, SR 606, and SR 601. The first piece, 5.75 miles (9.25 km) at the east end, was added to the state highway system in 1928 as State Route 616. Extensions were made of 4.2 miles (6.8 km) in 1930, 1.1 miles (1.8 km) in 1931, and finally 7.7 miles (12.4 km) in 1932. SR 616 became SR 209 in the 1933 renumbering. The portion west of Paytes was downgraded to secondary in 1944 as an extension of existing SR 601, and the remainder joined it in 1948 as an extension of existing SR 606.
