VA 182 is 3.71 miles long, connecting US 13 at Painter with SR 605 at Quinby.
It's an undivided two-lane country road throughout.
One of these things does not look like the other...
Mappsburg, population 60.
VA 182 crosses the Machipongo River. At the bridge is an interesting old boathouse thing, sadly abandoned and being reclaimed by nature.
Being less than four miles long, it's not long until we come to the end.
It ends at SR 605 in the village of Quinby, population 282.
White secondary number signs at the terminus. After this, we turned around and headed the other way on 182, during which we took some video.
Westbound reassurance. The bad-signage virus doesn't have time for a place of 282 people.
Then again, maybe it does, but fortunately these look like resident-made signs.
Back at the bridge.
"Machipongo" is an amusing name. It sounds kind of like the name of a character Tim Burton would have Johnny Depp play.
The boat house again. Needs some TLC.
The middle of nowhere, Eastern Shore style.
Junction SR 600.
And end VA 182 at US 13.
US 13 south, since that was not nearly enough photos for one post.
Our next stop is VA 181.
VA 181 is less than a mile long, connecting an indeterminate point in Belle Haven to US 13.
At the VA 178/181 split. The SR 609 sign is clearly an example of early #alandot test signage.
Actually, it's not really a split. There's about two hundred feet (if that) between VA 178 and 181 that's not really a state route.
On VA 178, which is 11.51 miles long, connecting US 13 Business in Exmore with a plethora of secondary routes in Bobtown.
Cautionary graffiti?
Back in Northampton County.
Exmore, population 1136, which is wicked important.
We'll avoid US 13 for the time being.
Best of.
Heading into Exmore.
US 13 Business. VA 178 ends.
Look at that, a blank VA route shield. What route is it for? Because I want you to stay tuned, all I'm going to say is that you better bring something RWD that's fast, maybe a E39 BMW M5, because it's hoon time.
