[edit] History

Route 102/108 south of Weber City: 3.31 mi

Route 116/106 Clinchport to Big Stone Gap: 7.15+4.44=11.59 mi Scott County, about 4.44 mi Lee County, 4.70 mi Wise County, total about 20.73

  • Recommended a spur of 10 from Clinchport to Natural Tunnel (about 2 mi) 01-1922-02 2; apparently it was added
  • 6.0 mi in Lee and Wise Counties, south from Big Stone Gap 01-1923-01 6; established as Route 116 05-1923-01 10
  • 4.5 mi in Lee County, south from Lee/Wise County line 02-1925-01 2
  • Forestry Service to maintain 116 in Humphreys National Forest 05-1926-01 12 - is this all the rest?

Route 119/120 north of Norton: 2.65 mi Norton to Wise, 10.89 mi Wise to Pound, 0.65+3.90 mi Pound to KY, total 18.09 mi

  • 4.0 mi Pound towards Wise 05-1926-01 17, 20

Additions by county:

Scott

3.31+11.59

  • 1923 2.50 Moccasin Gap to Tennessee

This is missing a lot.

Lee

4.44

  • 1925 4.5 south from Wise County

This adds up.

Wise

4.70+13.54 (1936)

  • 1922 6.0 (Lee and Wise) Big Stone Gap towards Natural Tunnel
  • 1926 4.0 Pound towards Wise
  • 1927 8.7 towards Wise
  • 1928 4.60 SR 11 at/near Norton towards Wise

This more than adds up.
