  • by 1941: SR 13 extended west to Norfolk along US 460, south to Gilmerton along SR 27/SR 170, and west to Bowers Hill replacing SR 299
  • by 1944: US 13 extended over SR 13 south and west to Military Highway, south on Military Highway to Gilmerton, and west over SR 13 to Bowers Hill; old SR 13 from Military Highway west to downtown Norfolk becomes SR 13Y (SR 166 in 1956)
