'''U.S. Route&nbsp;29''' ('''US&nbsp;29''') is a major north–south route in the [[Commonwealth (U.S. state)|commonwealth]] of [[Virginia]]. It covers {{Convert|248.0|mi|km}} from the [[North Carolina]] border at the city of [[Danville, Virginia|Danville]] to the [[Key Bridge (Washington, D.C.)|Key Bridge]] in [[Washington DC]]. US&nbsp;29 roughly bisects Virginia into eastern and western halves and, along with [[Interstate 81 in Virginia|Interstate&nbsp;81]] (I-81) and [[U.S. Route 11 in Virginia|US&nbsp;11]] in western Virginia and [[Interstate 85 in Virginia|I-85]]/[[Interstate 95 in Virginia|I-95]] as well as [[U.S. Route 1 in Virginia|US&nbsp;1]] farther east, provides one of the major north–south routes through the commonwealth.

Since 1928, when the [[Virginia General Assembly]] passed Senate Bill&nbsp;64, much of US&nbsp;29 in Virginia is known as the '''Seminole Trail'''.<ref name=hookseminole>{{cite web|url=http://www.readthehook.com/77396/route-29-become-wahoo-highway|work=The Hook|title=Route 29 to become Wahoo Highway?|author=Dave McNair|date=October 9, 2006|access-date=April 3, 2019|archive-date=April 3, 2019|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190403220042/http://www.readthehook.com/77396/route-29-become-wahoo-highway|url-status=live}}</ref><ref name="waposeminole">{{Cite news|last=Answerman|date=22 February 2004|title=Decoding MD + VA + DC|newspaper=The Washington Post|url=https://www.washingtonpost.com/archive/2004/02/22/decoding-md-va-dc/17c2e907-1ecc-4392-ba96-ec7c79aa6d6f/|access-date=11 August 2020|archive-date=February 19, 2021|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210219164828/https://www.washingtonpost.com/archive/2004/02/22/decoding-md-va-dc/17c2e907-1ecc-4392-ba96-ec7c79aa6d6f/|url-status=live}}</ref> Through [[Northern Virginia]], it is known as the [[Lee Highway]], except in [[Falls Church, Virginia|Falls Church]], where it acts as the east–west divider for city streets and is called North or South Washington Street, [[Arlington, Virginia|Arlington]], where it was renamed Langston Boulevard in July 2021 in honor of [[John Mercer Langston]], and [[Fairfax County, Virginia|Fairfax County]], where it was renamed to Route 29 in 2023.<ref name="NBC4">{{cite web|url=https://www.nbcwashington.com/news/local/lee-highway-in-arlington-county-renamed-langston-boulevard/2733167/|work=NBC 4 Washington|title=Lee Highway in Arlington County Renamed Langston Boulevard|author=Sophia Barnes|date=17 July 2021|access-date=November 1, 2021|archive-date=November 1, 2021|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20211101013002/https://www.nbcwashington.com/news/local/lee-highway-in-arlington-county-renamed-langston-boulevard/2733167/|url-status=live}}</ref> On April 7, 1993, the Virginia General Assembly officially designated the entire length of US&nbsp;29 from the North Carolina border to the Potomac River as the "29th Infantry Division Memorial Highway" in honor of the [[29th Infantry Division (United States)|29th Infantry Division]], which, along with the [[1st Infantry Division (United States)|1st Infantry Division]], formed the spearhead of the U.S. infantry that landed on the morning of June 6, 1944, on [[Omaha Beach]] in [[Normandy]] as part of the [[liberation of France]] during [[World War II]]. In addition, the name of this highway serves to honor many members of the [[Virginia Army National Guard]] who serve as part of this National Guard Division today. Signs indicating this designation have been placed periodically on both sides of US&nbsp;29.

For most of its route through Virginia, US&nbsp;29 has been constructed to be at least four lanes along its route, with the two short exceptions being where the highway passes through [[Manassas National Battlefield Park]], where it is two lanes wide for approximately {{Convert|3|mi|km|spell=in}}, and through [[Fairfax County, Virginia|Fairfax]] and [[Arlington County, Virginia|Arlington]] counties, where it is sometimes wider. It can also be six and eight lanes in much of northern [[Albemarle County, Virginia|Albemarle County]].{{Clarify|reason=This sentence sounds hypothetical and vague. Is it six or eight?|date=March 2025}}

US&nbsp;29 in Virginia has 11 [[Bypass (road)|bypass]]es around various cities and towns. These bypasses are around Danville, [[Chatham, Virginia|Chatham]], [[Gretna, Virginia|Gretna]], [[Hurt, Virginia|Hurt]]–[[Altavista, Virginia|Altavista]], [[Lynchburg, Virginia|Lynchburg]]–[[Madison Heights, Virginia|Madison Heights]]–[[Amherst, Virginia|Amherst]], [[Lovingston, Virginia|Lovingston]], [[Charlottesville, Virginia|Charlottesville]], [[Madison, Virginia|Madison]], [[Culpeper, Virginia|Culpeper]], [[Remington, Virginia|Remington]], and [[Warrenton, Virginia|Warrenton]]. In addition, [[Interstate 66 in Virginia|I-66]] serves for the most part as a bypass of [[Manassas, Virginia|Manassas]] and also [[Fairfax, Virginia|Fairfax]] and Arlington.

==Route description==
===North Carolina to Lynchburg===
[[Image:US29enteringVAsouth.JPG|thumb|right|200px|US&nbsp;29 entering Virginia from North Carolina]]
US&nbsp;29 enters Virginia in [[Danville, Virginia|Danville]] from [[North Carolina]]. While [[U.S. Route 29 Business (Danville, Virginia)|US&nbsp;29 Business]] (US&nbsp;29 Bus.) continues into Danville, US&nbsp;29 joins the Danville Expressway and [[U.S. Route 58 in Virginia|US&nbsp;58]] around the east side of Danville, entering [[Pittsylvania County, Virginia|Pittsylvania County]] and remerging with the business route north of town in [[Blairs, Virginia|Blairs]]. The interchange where US&nbsp;29 joins US&nbsp;58 has ramps that enter North Carolina and ramps that enter Virginia, complete with welcome signs from each state. There is a cloverleaf ramp that dips into North Carolina from Virginia and then crosses the state lines back into Virginia. Along the southeastern quadrant of the Danville Expressway between the North Carolina [[U.S. Route 360|US&nbsp;360]], the route is designated as part of [[unsigned highway|unsigned]] [[Virginia State Route 785|State Route&nbsp;785]] (SR&nbsp;785) for {{convert|7.39|mi|km}}.<ref name="traffic counts Pittsylvania">{{cite web |url= http://www.virginiadot.org/info/resources/AADT_071_Pittsylvania_2005.pdf |title= 2005 Virginia Department of Transportation Jurisdiction Report - Daily Traffic Volume Estimates - Pittsylvania County |access-date= January 9, 2011 |archive-date= January 16, 2010 |archive-url= https://web.archive.org/web/20100116015456/http://www.virginiadot.org/info/resources/AADT_071_Pittsylvania_2005.pdf |url-status= live }}&nbsp;{{small|(483&nbsp;[[Kibibyte|KiB]])}}</ref> Created {{circa|2000}}, SR&nbsp;785 is numbered in contradiction to the conventional system of numbering in the state, where primary routes are numbered less than 600 and secondary routes at or above this number. It is numbered as such because it is part of the planned [[Interstate 785|I-785]], which will run south along US&nbsp;29 to [[Interstate 85 in North Carolina|I-85]] in [[Greensboro, North Carolina]], and is only one of two routes of this type. The other is [[Virginia State Route 895|SR&nbsp;895]] in [[Richmond, Virginia|Richmond]] for similar reasons.

===Lynchburg to Charlottesville===
[[File:2016-05-27 14 45 59 View north along U.S. Route 29 (Thomas Nelson Highway) just north of the junction with Northside Lane (U.S. Route 29 Business) in Lovingston, Nelson County, Virginia.jpg|thumb|left|View north along US&nbsp;29 at [[U.S. Route 29 Business (Lovingston, Virginia)|US&nbsp;29 Bus.]] in Lovingston]]
US&nbsp;29 then continues north where it has business routes for [[Chatham, Virginia|Chatham]], [[Gretna, Virginia|Gretna]], and [[Hurt, Virginia|Hurt]] while bypassing them before entering [[Campbell County, Virginia|Campbell County]].

[[File:US Rte. 29 outside Gainesville.jpg|thumb|US&nbsp;29 outside of Gainesville]]
The next major city is [[Lynchburg, Virginia|Lynchburg]]. US&nbsp;29 joins the [[U.S. Route 460 in Virginia|US&nbsp;460]] bypass and [[U.S. Route 501 in Virginia|US&nbsp;501]] east of Lynchburg, splitting from them just before entering [[Amherst County, Virginia|Amherst County]]. US&nbsp;29 again bypasses [[Madison Heights, Virginia|Madison Heights]] and [[Amherst, Virginia|Amherst]] as an expressway, enters [[Nelson County, Virginia|Nelson County]], passes the town of [[Lovingston, Virginia|Lovingston]], and enters into [[Albemarle County, Virginia|Albemarle County]].

===Charlottesville to Warrenton===
For the next few miles of US&nbsp;29's route north of Lovingston, it enters mountainous terrain in the far western Piedmont close to the [[Blue Ridge Mountains]]. Several miles later, the route then continues north to [[Charlottesville, Virginia|Charlottesville]], intersecting [[Interstate 64 in Virginia|I-64]] and bypassing downtown Charlottesville. US&nbsp;29 rejoins its congested business route just north of downtown, continuing north as a six-lane road through a commercial area north of the city. Past Charlottesville, it converts back to four lanes and continues through [[Greene County, Virginia|Greene]] and [[Madison County, Virginia|Madison]] counties and then turns northeast toward [[Culpeper, Virginia|Culpeper]]. [[U.S. Route 15 in Virginia|US&nbsp;15]] joins US&nbsp;29 around Culpeper and heads to [[Warrenton, Virginia|Warrenton]], entering [[Northern Virginia]].

===Warrenton to Washington, DC===
[[File:2016-10-28 13 41 20 View south along U.S. Route 29 (Lee Highway) at U.S. Route 50 (Fairfax Boulevard) and Virginia State Route 236 (Main Street) in Fairfax, Virginia.jpg|thumb|View south along US&nbsp;29 (Lee Highway) at [[U.S. Route 50 in Virginia|US&nbsp;50]] (Fairfax Boulevard) and [[Virginia State Route 236|SR&nbsp;236]] (Main Street) in Fairfax]]
US&nbsp;29/US&nbsp;15 is joined by [[U.S. Route 17 in Virginia|US&nbsp;17]] south of Warrenton in [[Fauquier County, Virginia|Fauquier County]] and continues around the town, with US&nbsp;17 splitting off. US&nbsp;29/US&nbsp;15 continues mostly eastward to [[Gainesville, Virginia|Gainesville]] where US&nbsp;15 splits and US&nbsp;29 intersects [[Interstate 66 in Virginia|I-66]] for the first time. US&nbsp;29 continues into [[Fairfax County, Virginia|Fairfax County]], where it passes along the boundary of the city of [[Falls Church, Virginia|Falls Church]], where the road has two different names. The portion of the street running northbound is located in the city of Falls Church is called Washington Boulevard and has different [[house numbering|street addresses]] than the other side running southbound in Fairfax County, where it was named the Lee Highway until 2023 after which it only uses the route number. The road continues into [[Arlington, Virginia|Arlington]], having intersected I-66 five more times before crossing into Washington, DC.

==History==
US&nbsp;29 originated in 1931 as a replacement of [[U.S. Route 170|US&nbsp;170]] from Danville to Lynchburg. It was then added to [[Virginia State Route 18|SR&nbsp;18]] between Lynchburg and Charlottesville and to [[Virginia State Route 28|SR&nbsp;28]] between Charlottesville and Culpeper. The route originally ended at US&nbsp;15 in Culpeper. In 1934, US&nbsp;29 was extended to run concurrently with US&nbsp;15 to Warrenton, and with [[U.S. Route 211|US&nbsp;211]] to Washington DC (US&nbsp;211 now ends at [[U.S. Route 29 Business (Warrenton, Virginia)|US&nbsp;29 Bus.]] in Warrenton).<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://www.vahighways.com/route-log/us029.htm|title=US 29|website=www.vahighways.com|access-date=August 9, 2019|archive-date=October 21, 2019|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20191021200410/http://www.vahighways.com/route-log/us029.htm|url-status=live}}</ref>

The portion of what is now US&nbsp;29 from the North Carolina state line to Warrenton was named the Seminole Trail by an act of the [[Virginia General Assembly]] on February 16, 1928. Although it was apparently not part of the [[National Auto Trail]]s initiative early in the 20th century, the Seminole Trail is believed to have originated as part of an effort to promote the road as a through route to [[Florida]], home of the [[Native Americans in the United States|Native American]] [[Seminole]] tribe. Many road maps of the 1930s and 1940s list the Seminole Trail on highways in Virginia, the Carolinas, Georgia, and ultimately Florida.<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://www.gribblenation.org/2017/01/us-29-through-virginia-seminole-trail.html|title=US 29 through Virginia - The Seminole Trail|date=January 7, 2017 |access-date=August 9, 2019|archive-date=August 9, 2019|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190809002719/http://www.gribblenation.org/2017/01/us-29-through-virginia-seminole-trail.html|url-status=live}}</ref>

In an October 4, 2006, meeting of the Albemarle County Board of Supervisors, the [[University of Virginia]] athletic department and basketball coach [[Dave Leitao]] suggested that Seminole Trail in Charlottesville should be renamed Cavalier Way. The board did not act on this suggestion.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://cvilletomorrow.typepad.com/charlottesville_tomorrow_/2006/10/seminole_trail_.html|title=Charlottesville Tomorrow News Center: Seminole Trail becomes Cavalier Way?|website=cvilletomorrow.typepad.com|access-date=August 9, 2019|archive-date=August 9, 2019|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190809010837/https://cvilletomorrow.typepad.com/charlottesville_tomorrow_/2006/10/seminole_trail_.html|url-status=live}}</ref>

===Gainesville interchange===
The Gainesville interchange project took place at the interchange between the Lee Highway (US&nbsp;29) and I-66 at the junction with Linton Hall Road ([[Virginia State Route 619 (Prince William County)|SR&nbsp;619]]) starting in July 2011, with board planning on it dating back to 2006. The project was worth $230&nbsp;million (equivalent to ${{Formatprice|{{Inflation|US-GDP|230000000|2011}}}} in {{Inflation/year|index=US-GDP}}{{Inflation/fn|index=US-GDP}}) and included interchanges at many other heavily traveled roads in the area due to the rapid growth in development in [[Gainesville, Virginia|Gainesville]] and [[Haymarket, Virginia|Haymarket]], along with it being a major area drivers departure off of I-66 to travel towards other major cities along the Lee Highway, such as Charlottesville. The reasoning for this inclusion of other interchanges is because of the lack of road development to accommodate the new heavy traffic in the area. The plan included a [[single-point urban interchange]] design and bridges over train tracks to ease traffic flow on the Lee Highway onto I-66. The Lee Highway was also widened around the interchange to combat this issue. What was once a two-lane country road is now a four-lane suburban highway. Land was acquired by the [[Virginia Department of Transportation]] (VDOT) at the intersection of US&nbsp;29 and Linton Hall Road/SR&nbsp;619. The entire project was completed and opened to the general public on July 9, 2015.

===Charlottesville interchange (Rio Road)===
The Charlottesville interchange project took place at the intersection of US&nbsp;29 and Rio Road/[[Virginia State Route 631|SR&nbsp;631]], with construction starting in mid-2015 and ending in December 2016.<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://www.route29solutions.org/learn_more/2._rio_road_intersection.asp|title=Route 29 Solutions: Rio Road Intersection|website=www.route29solutions.org|access-date=August 7, 2019|archive-date=August 7, 2019|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190807020445/http://www.route29solutions.org/learn_more/2._rio_road_intersection.asp|url-status=live}}</ref> A [[diamond interchange]] was built, with two lanes from each direction of US&nbsp;29, deemed the "local lanes", exiting from main traffic and meeting Rio Road at a traffic signal. The project cost $69.7&nbsp;million (equivalent to ${{Formatprice|{{Inflation|US-GDP|69700000|2016}}}} in {{Inflation/year|index=US-GDP}}{{Inflation/fn|index=US-GDP}}).

===Lynchburg interchange===
The Lynchburg interchange project took place at the intersection of US&nbsp;29/US&nbsp;460/US&nbsp;501 and Odd Fellows Road, with construction starting in January 2016 and ending in August 2018. A diamond interchange was constructed at a cost of about $30&nbsp;million (equivalent to ${{Formatprice|{{Inflation|US-GDP|30000000|2018}}}} in {{Inflation/year|index=US-GDP}}{{Inflation/fn|index=US-GDP}}). The interchange was built to reduce congestion on Candlers Mountain Drive/US&nbsp;501 and to make access to Mayflower Drive/[[Virginia State Route 128|SR&nbsp;128]] easier.<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://virginiadot.org/newsroom/lynchburg/2018/new_us_29-460_interchange132654.asp|title=NEW US 29/460 INTERCHANGE at ODD FELLOWS ROAD to OPEN - Newsroom {{!}} Virginia Department of Transportation|website=virginiadot.org|access-date=August 24, 2019|archive-date=August 24, 2019|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190824030043/http://virginiadot.org/newsroom/lynchburg/2018/new_us_29-460_interchange132654.asp|url-status=live}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.newsadvance.com/news/local/photos-odd-fellows-road-interchange-nearly-ready-for-traffic/collection_d3b9b9f6-cea5-11e7-af6a-67e97c62ce31.html|title=PHOTOS: Odd Fellows Road interchange nearly ready for traffic|website=NewsAdvance.com|date=July 26, 2018 |language=en|access-date=August 24, 2019|archive-date=August 24, 2019|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190824030042/https://www.newsadvance.com/news/local/photos-odd-fellows-road-interchange-nearly-ready-for-traffic/collection_d3b9b9f6-cea5-11e7-af6a-67e97c62ce31.html|url-status=live}}</ref> As part of the construction, [[roundabout]]s were constructed on Odd Fellows Road at its intersection with Mayflower Drive, west of the interchange, and Top Ridge Road, east of the interchange.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.newsadvance.com/news/local/odd-fellows-road-u-s-interchange-to-open-thursday-morning/article_2186a0d8-9b63-11e8-b809-dfc269f21b2d.html|title=Odd Fellows Road, U.S. 460 interchange to open Thursday morning|last=Gillis|first=Casey|date=August 8, 2018|website=The News and Advance|language=en|access-date=August 24, 2019|archive-date=August 24, 2019|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190824030042/https://www.newsadvance.com/news/local/odd-fellows-road-u-s-interchange-to-open-thursday-morning/article_2186a0d8-9b63-11e8-b809-dfc269f21b2d.html|url-status=live}}</ref>

===Charlottesville bypass===
A western US&nbsp;29 bypass around Charlottesville was originally proposed in 1979. Engineering and environmental work on the project began in late 1984, and the location was approved by the [[Commonwealth Transportation Board]] in 1990.
[[File:Buffalo River Bridge Out (7797517610).jpg|thumb|This bridge carried US&nbsp;29 across the [[Buffalo River (Virginia)|Buffalo River]] until its destruction by [[Hurricane Camille]] in 1969.]]

Acquisition of [[Right-of-way (property access)|right-of-way]] for the project began in 1991 and continued until 2001. No additional right-of-way has been purchased since then. VDOT owns 36 properties that are currently leased and occupied.

The bypass was projected to be {{Convert|6.2|mi|km}} long, from the US&nbsp;250 bypass to current US&nbsp;29 north of the South Fork [[Rivanna River]]. It would have been two lanes in each direction with no other exits, to decrease possible interruption of commercial and residential growth in the area.

In 1998, a lawsuit was filed challenging the project, alleging that the environmental impact review of the project violated the [[National Environmental Policy Act]] (NEPA). In 2001, a federal court ruled in favor of VDOT on the suit but required the agency to complete a supplemental [[environmental impact statement]] (EIS) addressing the road's impacts on the South Fork Rivanna Reservoir and the mitigation to minimize those impacts. That document was completed and accepted by the [[Federal Highway Administration]] (FHWA) in 2003.

In 1996, the Charlottesville-Albemarle Metropolitan Planning Organization (MPO) inserted language into its Transportation Improvement Program that prevented additional funds from being allocated to construction of the western bypass. That language was removed by the MPO Policy Board in July 2011.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.virginiadot.org/projects/culpeper/rt._29_bypass.asp |title=Route 29 Charlottesville Bypass |access-date=August 8, 2014 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140812083956/http://www.virginiadot.org/projects/culpeper/rt._29_bypass.asp |archive-date=August 12, 2014 }}</ref>

All activities on the US&nbsp;29 Charlottesville bypass project were suspended in March 2014 following notification from the FHWA that a new supplemental EIS would be required before the environmental process could be completed. The new supplemental EIS was required due to the history of litigation and controversy associated with the project.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.virginiadot.org/VDOT/Projects/Culpeper/asset_upload_file869_58394.pdf |title=Route 29 Bypass; FHWA Review Comments on the draft Revised Environmental Assessment|access-date=August 8, 2014 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160304002437/http://www.virginiadot.org/VDOT/Projects/Culpeper/asset_upload_file869_58394.pdf |archive-date=March 4, 2016 }}</ref>

==Future==
===Charlottesville interchange (Hydraulic Road)===
The Charlottesville City Council voted on May 6, 2018, to add a long-range development plan for a diamond interchange at the intersection of US&nbsp;29 and Hydraulic Road/[[Virginia State Route 743|SR&nbsp;743]] at an estimated cost of $63&nbsp;million to $80&nbsp;million (equivalent to ${{Formatprice|{{Inflation|US-GDP|63000000|2018}}}} to ${{Formatprice|{{Inflation|US-GDP|80000000|2018}}}} in {{Inflation/year|index=US-GDP}}{{Inflation/fn|index=US-GDP}}).<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://www.route29solutions.org/learn_more/7._hydraulic_road_intersection.asp|title=Route 29: Hydraulic Road Intersection|website=www.route29solutions.org|access-date=August 9, 2019|archive-date=August 7, 2019|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190807020820/http://www.route29solutions.org/learn_more/7._hydraulic_road_intersection.asp|url-status=live}}</ref>
