U.S. Route 33 in Virginia
Encyclopedia
U.S. Route 33 is a part of the U.S. Highway System that runs from Elkhart, Indiana
to Richmond, Virginia
. In Virginia
, the U.S. Highway runs 135.6 miles (218.2 km) from the West Virginia
state line near Rawley Springs
east to its eastern terminus at SR 33
in Richmond. US 33 is the primary east–west highway of Rockingham County
, which lies in the Shenandoah Valley
. The highway connects the county seat
of Harrisonburg
, the town of Elkton
, and an entrance to Shenandoah National Park
. East of the Blue Ridge Mountains
, US 33 connects the Piedmont
communities of Stanardsville
, Gordonsville
, and Louisa
. The U.S. Highway is a major suburban and urban route in the Richmond metropolitan area. Within Richmond, US 33 runs concurrently
with US 250
. SR 33 continues from US 33's eastern terminus as a state-numbered extension of the U.S. Highway that connects Richmond with Virginia's Middle Peninsula
.
state line, having climbed steeply from the community of Brandywine, West Virginia
, in the valley of the South Fork of the South Branch of the Potomac River
. US 33 then heads east as Rawley Pike, with a curvaceous descent to the narrow but flat valley of the Dry River
, which the highway follows east through the George Washington National Forest. East of Rawley Springs
, the highway veers away from the river, leaves the national forest, and passes through a low, wide gap in Great North Mountain
to enter the Shenandoah Valley.
Once in the Shenandoah Valley
, US 33 passes through the hamlets of Hinton
and Dale Enterprise
, then passes to the north of Mole Hill
before entering the independent city
of Harrisonburg
.
US 33 continues into Harrisonburg as Market Street, a four-lane divided highway. The road becomes an undivided highway and then reduces to two lanes at its intersection with SR 42
(High Street) in downtown Harrisonburg, after which the highway intersects a branch of the Norfolk Southern Railway's Roanoke District
at grade. US 33 meets the southbound direction of US 11
(Liberty Street), then splits to pass along a two-lane, one-way street surrounding Court Square, the site of the Rockingham County
courthouse. The eastern side of the square, Main Street, is followed by northbound US 11. Both directions of US 33 therefore have short but separate concurrencies with each direction of US 11 around the Courthouse, before US 33 exits the downtown Harrisonburg area as Market Street.
US 33 expands to four lanes at Mason Street, then curves south and becomes a divided highway at Vine Street. The highway passes over the Norfolk & Southern's Roanoke District
rail line, then intersects with I-81
. After I-81, US 33 expands to six lanes, passing through a commercial area that includes the Harrisonburg Crossingshopping center
and the Valley Mall
. Eastward, the route returns to a four-lane highway, and is named Spotswood Trail at the city limits of Harrisonburg. US 33 meets the northern end of SR 276
(Cross Keys Road) in Penn Laird as the highway makes a broad curve around the southern end of Massanutten Mountain
, within which is the Massanutten Resort
. The highway crosses the Norfolk & Southern rail line again and passes through McGaheysville
, at the base of Massanutten Mountain, continuing to Elkton
at the southern edge of the Page Valley
.
West of Elkton, US 33 Business (Old Spotswood Trail) splits to the north. US 33 then crosses the South Fork of the Shenandoah River, enters the town limits, and crosses over the Norfolk & Southern rail line for the last time. The highway leaves the town at US 340
(East Side Highway) and the east end of US 33 Business. The route then follows West Swift Run southeast to the hamlet of Swift Run, after which it reduces to two lanes and begins a curvaceous ascent of the Blue Ridge
, cresting the mountain at Swift Run Gap
at an elevation of 2365 feet (720.9 m), where the highway crosses the Appalachian Trail
and has an intersection with the access roads to the Blue Ridge Parkway
and to Skyline Drive
, the north–south highway through Shenandoah National Park
, then descending to the Virginia Piedmont
.
, US 33 enters Greene County
and has a more gentle descent of the eastern side of the mountain, where the highway follows Swift Run to the hamlet of Lydia
, then passes around the north side of Powell Mountain and meets the stream again west of Stanardsville
, where the road expands to a four-lane divided highway. US 33 Business (Spotswood Trail) splits to the north to pass through the center of Stanardsville, the county seat of Greene County, while US 33 follows the Stanardsville Bypass. US 33 Business provides access to SR 230
, which heads toward Madison
. US 33 continues southeast through Quinque
and intersects US 29
(Seminole Trail) in Ruckersville
.
East of US 29, US 33 reduces to two lanes and enters Orange County
. The highway has a short concurrency with SR 20
(Constitution Highway) through Barboursville
, where both highways pass under the Norfolk & Southern's Washington District
rail line. US 33 passes through a gap in the Southwest Mountains
before reaching Gordonsville
. At the town limit, the U.S. Highway has an intersection with SR 231
(Blue Ridge Turnpike). US 33 and SR 231 run together a short distance east to the Gordonsville Roundabout, where SR 231 heads southwest as Gordon Avenue toward Cismont
and US 33 becomes concurrent with US 15
(James Madison Highway) along Main Street. The two highways pass the Exchange Hotel
at their underpass of the Washington Subdivision
, the Charlottesville
–Orange
rail line owned by the Buckingham Branch Railroad
. At the southern edge of downtown Gordonsville, US 33 and US 15 leave Main Street and veer onto Martinsburg Avenue, which follows CSX's Piedmont Subdivision
to the southern limit of Gordonsville, where the highways enter Louisa County
.
US 15 continues south as the James Madison Highway toward Farmville
, while US 33 continues paralleling the railroad along Spotswood Trail. At Trevilians
, US 33 becomes concurrent with SR 22
(Louisa Road). US 33 and SR 22 head into the town of Louisa
as Main Street. On the east side of this county seat, the highways intersect SR 208
(Courthouse Road). SR 208 joins the two highways for a short distance until the state highways diverge from US 33, following the railroad east along Davis Highway toward Mineral
, near the epicenter
of the 2011 Virginia earthquake
, with US 33 continuing southeast along Jefferson Highway. The route passes south of Northeast Creek Reservoir before a short concurrency with US 522
in Cuckoo
, where US 522 heads north as Pendleton Road toward Mineral and south as Cross County Highway toward Goochland
. Continuing eastward, US 33 then approaches the Richmond
Metropolitan Area.
, where the highway is named Mountain Road. The route then passes through the village of Montpelier, after which it meets the western end of SR 54
(Patrick Henry Road). US 33 crosses the South Anna River
at Ground Squirrel Bridge northwest of Farrington, then expands to a four-lane divided highway just north of the Chickahominy River
, where the highway enters Henrico County
and becomes Staples Mill Road. It then intersects I-295
, then meets the northern end of SR 157
(Springfield Road) in the Richmond suburb of Glen Allen
.
In the community of Laurel
, US 33 expands to six lanes at its intersection with Parham Road north of the Richmond Staples Mill Road
Amtrak
station. In Dumbarton
, US 33 meets the western end of SR 356
(Hilliard Road) and has a partial cloverleaf interchange with I-64
with a flyover ramp from westbound I-64 to eastbound US 33.
US 33 enters Richmond
, an independent city
, just before the highway meets US 250
(Broad Street) near The Shops at Willow Lawn
. US 33 and US 250 continue together southeast along this six-lane boulevard toward downtown Richmond. The two highways parallel the city line to SR 197
(Malvern Avenue), then pass over I-195
with no access. US 33 and US 250 intersect SR 161
(Boulevard) northwest of the Science Museum of Virginia
, in the former Broad Street railroad station
. US 33 and US 250 split just east of the Siegel Center, home of the Virginia Commonwealth University
Rams basketball teams, with US 250 continuing on Broad Street, while US 33 turns north onto Hancock Street. The federally numbered highway reaches its eastern terminus at Leigh Street, where it becomes Virginia SR 33
. SR 33 then heads east as a state-numbered extension of US 33 through the eastern part of Richmond and West Point
to the Middle Peninsula
on Virginia's Coastal Plain
, reaching the Chesapeake Bay
at Stingray Point
just east of Deltaville
