[edit] History

The road from State Route 10 (at a point now just west of Lee Avenue in Fort Lee[4][5]) east of Petersburg northeast to Hopewell was added to the state highway system in 1924[6] as State Route 1011.[7] SR 1011 became State Route 408 in the 1928 renumbering.

6.70 miles (10.78 km) from Campbells Bridge over the Appomattox River at Petersburg past Matoaca towards Winterpock was added in 1928 as State Route 409.[8] SR 409 was extended 3.02 miles (4.86 km) in 1930.[9]
