State Route 38 is a short primary state highway in Amelia County, Virginia, United States. It runs from U.S. Route 360 Business in Amelia east to State Route 153 at Scotts Fork.
[edit] History
All of SR 38, plus extensions east to Sutherland and northwest to Tobaccoville, was State Route 406 before the 1933 renumbering. At that time, State Route 38 was assigned to the piece from Amelia east to Sutherland; Amelia to Tobaccoville became part of State Route 49. In the 1940 renumbering, SR 49 was greatly truncated, and SR 38 was extended northwest over former SR 49 to Tobaccoville.[2]
SR 38 east of the south junction with State Route 153, a road of "little primary significance", was transferred to the secondary system in 1951 as State Route 708; the rest of SR 38 east of Amelia became an extension of SR 153.[3] However, later that year, SR 38 returned to the piece from Amelia to the SR 153/SR 708 junction, and SR 153 was rerouted to go north from Scotts Fork.[4] The overlap with SR 153 has since been removed.
The piece of SR 38 from Tobaccoville via Morven to Amelia became secondary State Route 681 in 1954.[5]
