Richmond-Petersburg Turnpike
Encyclopedia
The Richmond-Petersburg Turnpike was a toll road
located in the Richmond-Petersburg
region of central Virginia
, USA.
After World War II
, major traffic congestion occurred in the area around Richmond
and Petersburg
along U.S. Route 1
and U.S. Route 301
. This was particularly true where these two major routes shared the same roadway for much of the distance between the two cities, as well as bridges across the James River
and Appomattox River
.
To help alleviate the problems, in 1955 the Virginia General Assembly
created a political subdivision
, the Richmond Petersburg Turnpike Authority. The authority was administered by a board of directors. Its members were appointed by the local governing bodies of the jurisdictions through which the turnpike passed, one member from each locality. It was given the mission to sell toll revenue bond
s to build and operate a new toll highway parallel to the existing Routes 1 and 301 between Henrico County
just north of Richmond and Dinwiddie County
just south of Petersburg, with new bridges over the two major rivers. Opened in 1958, and funded through toll revenue bond
s, it was conceived prior to the creation of the Interstate Highway System
.
Tolls were removed completely in 1992. Today, the former Richmond-Petersburg Turnpike forms 30 miles (48.3 km) of Interstate 95
in central Virginia, as well as the northernmost 5 miles (8 km) of Interstate 85
in Petersburg and Dinwiddie County.
and in 1926 was also designated U.S. Routes 1 and 301. Some Chesterfield County and Colonial Heights land deeds still reference the name Richmond-Petersburg Turnpike for properties along Jefferson Davis Highway. Historical accounts of 1864 Civil War events mention that name as well.
, the busy north–south corridor in central Virginia shared by US 1 and US 301 and the Jefferson Davis Memorial Highway through the cities of Richmond, Colonial Heights
and Petersburg and along the Jefferson Davis Highway
between the cities was heavily-developed commercially. With only four traffic lanes and long stretches of undivided roadway, it became a major area of traffic congestion, as well as the site of occasional spectacular and deadly head-on collisions.
In 1955, prior to the creation of the U.S. Interstate Highway System
, the Virginia General Assembly
created the Richmond-Petersburg Turnpike Authority as an independent state agency to administer (design, finance, acquire right-of-way, construct, operate, collect tolls, and maintain) the new Turnpike of the same name. The new toll road
was planned with only 15 exits, and most of these were well away from the highly developed commercial areas along parallel U.S. 1-301.
Funded with proceeds from toll revenue bond
s sold by the Authority, the 34.7 miles (55.8 km)-long road cost $76.7 million to build, including new bridges over the James River
in Richmond
and the Appomattox River
between Colonial Heights
and Petersburg
. It featured six lanes from the northern entrance to just south of the new James River Bridge in Richmond, and four lanes from that point south. At Petersburg, the new Turnpike split into two branches, one leading to US 301 south towards Emporia
and Weldon, North Carolina
, and the other to US 1 south, which led to South Hill
and Raleigh, North Carolina
.
The new expressway opened on July 1, 1958, and in August, the State Highway Commission designated it as part of Interstate 95. A piece near Petersburg was designated Interstate 85, and the Turnpike became a grandfathered part of the U.S. Interstate Highway System
even though no federal aid was used to build it. The new roadway achieved the intended diversion of long distance traffic. As earlier feared, hotels, motels, tourist homes and cabins, and restaurants along the bypassed highways suffered tremendous loss of business, and many failed. However, due to the relatively high rate of tolls on the Turnpike, the blow was softened by a continually increasing traffic flow and patronage of motorists wanting to avoid the tolls, who continued to use the old roads. This practice of avoiding roads and bridges with tolls is known as "shunpiking
".
passed legislation which transferred the Authority's duties to the Virginia Department of Highways, the predecessor agency to the Virginia Department of Transportation
(VDOT). The Authority as an independent entity ceased to exist and the Board of Directors disbanded. In December 1973, additional bonds were issued to provide much-needed improvements to the heavily traveled highway. Unlike the original toll revenue bonds which were backed only by toll revenue, the new bonds were backed by the Commonwealth of Virginia. They were still funded by toll revenue but the bondholders had more security with state backing and thus offered lower interest rates. A primary factor in turning the turnpike over to the Virginia Department of Highways was to obtain full state control since the state was taking the risk on the bonds.
The improvements included widening to six lanes of 22 miles (35.4 km) from just south of the James River Bridge at Richmond and complete reconstruction of the I-85 and I-95 interchange in downtown Petersburg. Several other major interchanges including Chester/Hopewell and Broad Street at downtown Richmond were also reconstructed.
Once the bonds were paid off, toll revenue funded safety improvements on the entire turnpike which included sign and guardrail replacements as well as replacing most of the median guardrail with Jersey style concrete median barriers. Toll money was also spent on nearby road projects such as the Temple Avenue extension (State Route 144). Since interstate travelers were paying most of the tolls that was then being spent on other projects, toll removal became a local political issue that the General Assembly eventually decided to approximately coincide with the opening of the parallel Interstate 295.

Today, the former Richmond-Petersburg Turnpike with the I-95 designation, and parallel Interstate 295
(which forms an eastern bypass of Richmond and Petersburg) carry some of the heaviest traffic flows of any portion of the busy eastern U.S. corridor between Florida and New England.
