U.S. Route 360 (US 360) is a spur route ofUS 60. The U.S. Highway runs 225.3 miles (362.6 km), entirely within the state ofVirginia, fromUS 58 Business,Virginia State Route 293 (SR 293), andSR 360 inDanville east to SR 644 inReedville. US 360 connects Danville,South Boston,Keysville andBurkeville inSouthside Virginia with the state capital ofRichmond. The highway connects Richmond withTappahannock on theMiddle Peninsula and the easternNorthern Neck, where it serves as the primary route throughNorthumberland County. US 360 is a four-lane divided highway for almost all of its length.
US 360 begins at a four-way intersection on the north side of theDan River, across from downtown Danville. Main Street heads south across the river into downtown Danville as SR 293, and north asSR 293 andSR 360 (SR 360 is a two-lane highway, the old alignment of US 360 from Danville to northeast of South Boston). The west leg of the intersection is Riverside Drive, which is followed by US 58 Business. US 360 heads east along four-lane divided River Street with US 58 Business, and passes underNorfolk Southern Railway'sDanville District rail line. The highway's name changes to South Boston Highway on crossing Fall Creek and veering away from the Dan River. US 360 reaches the eastern end of itsconcurrency with US 58 Business and joins withUS 58 at the highway'scloverleaf interchange withUS 29 (Danville Expressway). US 360 and US 58 leave the city of Danville after passing along the north side ofDanville Regional Airport.[1][2]
US 360 and US 58 meet at the northern end ofSR 62 (Milton Highway) in easternPittsylvania County before enteringHalifax County. The highway's name changes to Philpott Road and it crosses the Dan River. US 360 and US 58 pass through the hamlets ofDelila (where the U.S. highways meet the northern end ofSR 119 (Calvary Road)) andTurbeville before reaching the crossroads community ofRiverdale on the south side of the Dan River opposite downtown South Boston. The U.S. Highways have a grade crossing at Norfolk Southern'sDurham District rail line and then intersectUS 501 (Huell Matthews Highway), where the highways begin to followBill Tuck Highway. A short distance east of US 501, US 360 and US 58 diverge, with US 360 turning north onto theJames D. Hagood Highway. The highway crosses the Dan River, itsfloodplain, and Norfolk Southern's Danville–Richmond rail line via a 2,000-foot-long bridge. On entering the town limits of South Boston, the highway follows John Randolph Boulevard and has intersections with the eastern ends ofSR 304 (Seymour Drive) andSR 34 (Hodges Street).[1][2]
After leaving South Boston, US 360 becomes James D. Hagood Highway again, and heads northeast pastSouth Boston Speedway and William M. Tuck Airport. The U.S. Highway crosses theBanister River at Terrys Bridge and meets the coincident termini of SR 360 (Bethel Road) andSR 344 (Scottsburg Road) nearScottsburg. US 360 crosses over the Danville–Richmond rail line and meets the western end ofSR 92 (Clover Road) south of the town ofClover. It crosses theRoanoke River intoCharlotte County and follows Kings Highway, which intersects SR 92 (Jeb Stuart Highway) again andUS 15 (Barnesville Highway) atWylliesburg. US 360 and US 15 run concurrently north throughCrafton Gate, where the highways intersectSR 47 (Craftons Gate Highway). South of Keysville, at the southern end ofUS 15 Business andUS 360 Business (Old Kings Highway), the highway becomes a freeway that bypasses Keysville. US 15 and US 360 cross over theVirginia Southern Railroad and have a partial interchange with the business routes. Just east of the town of Keysville, the U.S. Highways have adiamond interchange withSR 40 (Lunenburg County Highway). US 15 and US 360 pass under the Virginia Southern rail line before diverging at apartial-cloverleaf interchange that also marks the northern end of their respective business routes and the end of the freeway section of US 360.[1][2]
US 360 briefly runs atop thePrince Edward –Lunenburg county line before fully entering Prince Edward County, where the highway parallels the Virginia Southern Railroad to the south and Norfolk Southern Railway'sBlue Ridge District to the north. It passes around the community ofBruceville and through the town ofMeherrin, where the highway crosses to the north side of the Blue Ridge rail line. As US 360 passes through Meherrin, the highway briefly enters intoLunenburg County before reentering Prince Edward County, although no signs mark the county line there. US 360 begins to parallel the two rail lines atGreen Bay, where the road temporarily becomes undivided. It parallels both rail lines toBurkeville, in the southwestern corner ofNottoway County, where the road's name changes toPatrick Henry Highway. US 360 crosses over the Farmville Belt Line, a part of the Blue Ridge District that servesFarmville and joins the main Blue Ridge line in Burkeville. Just north of the rail crossing, the highway has a partial-cloverleaf interchange withUS 460 (Colonial Trail Highway) andUS 360 Business andUS 460 Business, which parallel the rail line into town as Nunnally Street (formerly named 2nd Street). US 360 and US 460 bypass the town to the north and receive the eastern end of their respective business routes before diverging at a partial interchange. There is no direct access from westbound US 360 to eastbound US 460 or from westbound US 460 to eastbound US 360; those movements are made viaSR 723 (Lewiston Plank Road) orSR 49 (Watsons Wood Rd).[1][2]
US 360 parallels Norfolk Southern'sRichmond District rail line northeast from Burkeville. The highway meets the northern end ofSR 49 (Watsons Wood Road) before enteringAmelia County. West ofJetersville, the highway intersects the eastern end ofSR 307 (Holly Farms Road), which connects to US 460 northwest of Burkeville. US 360 continues toAmelia Court House, which is directly served byUS 360 Business (Goodes Bridge Road). North of the county seat, the highway crosses the rail line and has a partial-cloverleaf interchange with its business route before receiving the northern end of the business route west ofWinterham, where the highway and railroad diverge. US 360 has a junction withSR 153 (Military Road) between Winterham and theAppomattox River, where the highway entersChesterfield County. US 360 becomes Hull Street Road and passes through the village ofSkinquarter before entering the suburban area surrounding Richmond. The U.S. Highway expands to eight lanes throughWoodlake and crossesSwift Creek just downstream from the dam that holds back Swift Creek Reservoir west of the highway's cloverleaf interchange withSR 288.[1][2]
US 360 continues northeast as a six-lane highway through additional suburban areas before its partial-cloverleaf interchange withSR 150 (Chippenham Parkway), where the it enters the city of Richmond and reduces to four lanes. The U.S. Highway crossesCSX'sNorth End Subdivision and becomes Hull Street at its intersection withSR 161 (Belt Boulevard). US 360 heads into theManchester section of Richmond as a four-lane undivided highway that has intersections withSR 10 (Broad Rock Road),Midlothian Turnpike, andUS 1 andUS 301, which head south towardPetersburg as Jefferson Davis Highway and north toward theirJames River crossing as Cowardin Street. US 360 passes theArt Works artist colony before passing over Norfolk Southern and the James River on theMayo Bridge, which crosses Mayo Island in the middle of the river. US 360 reaches the north side of the river just west of theTriple Crossing; it passes under the east–westviaduct of CSX'sRivanna Subdivision and has a grade crossing of Norfolk Southern's Richmond District. US 360 passes underSR 195 (Downtown Expressway) and follows 14th Street into theShockoe Bottom neighborhood, where US 360 turns east onto Main Street, which carries US 60 and theGRTC Pulse rapid-transit bus line. The two highways pass underI-95 (Richmond–Petersburg Turnpike) and CSX'sBellwood Subdivision and by theMain Street Station servingAmtrak'sNortheast Regional trains during their four-block concurrency.[1][2]
_at_Cross_Street_in_Tappahannock%2c_Essex_County%2c_Virginia.jpg)
US 360 turns northeast onto 18th Street atMason's Hall to pass along the west edge of theChurch Hill neighborhood. At Grace Street, the highway splits into aone-way pair; westbound US 360 follows 17th Street. US 360 meets the eastern end ofUS 250 (Broad Street), then curves north and passes under the Leigh Street Viaduct, which carriesSR 33. The two directions of US 360 come together one block before the highway turns east onto Fairfield Way. US 360 turns north onto four-lane undividedMechanicsville Turnpike and has a partial-cloverleaf interchange withI-64 before exiting the city of Richmond as a six-lane divided highway. US 360 passes through theHenrico County community ofEast Highland Park, where it intersects Laburnum Avenue, which leads toRichmond Raceway. The highway crosses theChickahominy River intoHanover County, where it reduces to four lanes at the southern end of Mechanicsville'sUS 360 Business. While on the Mechanicsville Bypass, US 360 has a diamond interchange withSR 156 (Cold Harbor Road). The movement from westbound US 360 to SR 156 is provided at the northern end of the bypass, which occurs a short distance south of US 360's cloverleaf interchange withI‑295.[1][2]
Northeast of I-295, US 360 gradually transitions from suburban to rural surroundings. The transition is complete by the time it crosses thePamunkey River intoKing William County, where the highway's name changes to Richmond–Tappahannock Highway. US 360 passes throughManquin andCentral Garage, where it intersectsSR 30 (King William Road). AtAylett, the site ofZoar State Forest, US 360 crosses theMattaponi River intoKing and Queen County, where it meets the western end ofSR 14 at the community ofSt. Stephens Church. US 360 entersEssex County atMiller's Tavern, where the highway crosses the watershed divide between theYork River tributaries and theRappahannock River. US 360 is named Richmond Highway northeast pastTappahannock-Essex County Airport toBrays Fork, where the highway meetsUS 17 (Tidewater Trail) at a directional intersection. The U.S. highways run concurrently into the town ofTappahannock. Within the town, US 17 and US 360 cross Hoskins Creek and become a four-lane undivided highway. On the north side of the downtown area, US 360 turns east onto two-lane Queen Street and crosses the Rappahannock River on a high-level two-lane bridge.[1][2]
US 360 expands to a four-lane divided highway on arriving inRichmond County. It heads east as Richmond Road past the historic plantationMount Airy to the town ofWarsaw. In the center of town, through which US 360 is an undivided highway, the highway runs concurrently withSR 3 Business from Main Street toSR 3 (Historyland Highway). US 360 expands to a divided highway at the hamlet ofIndian Field and passes throughHaynesville before entering Northumberland County atVillage. The highway veers northeast atLuttrellville and meets the eastern end ofSR 202 (Hampton Hall Road) inCallao. At SR 202, US 360 turns east onto Northumberland Highway, which is two lanes within theunincorporated village. US 360 briefly expands to a four-lane divided highway but is two lanes throughLottsburg. US 360 has another divided-highway section before reducing to two lanes throughHeathsville, where it passesSt. Stephen's Episcopal Church and intersectsSR 201 (Courthouse Road). The highway passes throughClaraville,Horse Head, andDownings Corner before reaching its junction withSR 200 (Jesse DuPont Memorial Highway) atBurgess. US 360 has its final four-lane divided section betweenFolly andLilian. AtBeverlyville, it curves south toward Reedville. AtSR 657 (Fleeton Road), US 360 follows Main Street south to its eastern terminus at the intersection of Main Street and Reed Avenue, which are both part ofSR 644.[1][2]

U.S. Route 360 Business (US 360 Business) is the business route of US 360 inHanover County. The highway runs 0.78 miles (1.26 km) between junctions with US 360 west and east ofMechanicsville. The business route begins as a one-way westbound ramp to westbound US 360. US 360 Business gains an eastbound lane and heads east as Mechanicsville Turnpike to an intersection withSR 156 (Cold Harbor Road) andSR 638 (Atlee Road). The business route continues a few more blocks before again becoming a one-way westbound ramp from westbound US 360. This westbound ramp is used to access SR 156 from westbound US 360 because there is no direct ramp in US 360's diamond interchange with SR 156.[1][5]
