Four roads that wind through the countryside of Rappahannock County have been designated Virginia Byways by the Commonwealth Transportation Board.
The new byways include Fodderstack Road (routes 628, 606 and 641) between historic Washington, Va., and Flint Hill and Route 647 between Flint Hill and Route 637 at the Rappahannock-Fauquier County .lines.
Naming a road a byway recognizes its historic, scenic or recreational importance. Byways are identified on the Virginia state map published by the Virginia Department of Transportation.
Motorists are encouraged to use byways for scenic and enjoyable drives away from busier thoroughfares.
> The new byways form a continuous 11-mile route that connects the two Rappahannock County commu,’nities with Marshall in Fauquier ;County. ' They travel the Upper Piedmont •of northeastern Rappahannock 'County and have been long reeog,'nized for both their scenic qualities !as well as their historical importance.
Although there is no direct link, these roads are easily accessible to .’motorists traveling Route 231 between Madison and Sperryville as well as Route 626 between The Plains and Middleburg. Both of these roads are existing byways.
Washington, Va., at the western ’end of the new byway is listed on the National Register of Historic Places
