State Route 105 (SR 105) is a primary state highway in the U.S. state of Virginia. Known as Fort Eustis Boulevard, the state highway runs 4.90 miles (7.89 km) from Fort Eustis in Newport News east to U.S. Route 17 (US 17) near Grafton in York County. SR 105 is a cross-peninsula highway that connects Fort Eustis, a U.S. Army installation, with US 60 and Interstate 64 (I-64), and US 17 near Yorktown.

Route description

SR 105 begins at the entrance to Fort Eustis, which is the home of U.S. Army Transportation Corps and the U.S. Army Transportation Museum. The highway continues southwest onto the military base as Washington Boulevard. Just west of SR 105's western terminus, the westbound direction has an at-grade intersection with the Fort Eustis Military Railroad.

SR 105 heads east as a four-lane divided highway that has a partial cloverleaf interchange with US 60 (Warwick Boulevard); the interchange includes a flyover ramp from westbound US 60 to westbound SR 105. The state highway crosses Lee Hall Reservoir and CSX's Peninsula Subdivision. East of the railroad, SR 105 has a cloverleaf interchange with I-64 and an intersection with SR 143 (Jefferson Avenue). SR 143 is used as an intermediary for the ramps from westbound I-64 to eastbound SR 105 and from westbound SR 105 to westbound I-64.

SR 105 continues east along the southern edge of Newport News Park before entering York County, where the highway passes through a forested area with scattered residential subdivisions. SR 105 reaches its eastern terminus at US 17 (George Washington Memorial Highway) between Yorktown to the north and Grafton to the south. Fort Eustis Boulevard continues east as SR 1050 to the named highway's present eastern terminus at SR 634 (Old York Hampton Highway).[1][2]

In Fall 2009 the Virginia Department of Transportation began a widening project of SR 105 between Jefferson Avenue in Newport News and US 17 in York County. The road was widened from two to four lanes with a raised median. Construction was completed in Spring 2012.[3]

gollark: It's part of a more complex system, but basically:- Lasers (from Plethora) were on ComputerCraft turtles (robot things), which could fire them in arbitrary directions- The turtles ran a program which connected to a relay-type service I run on my web server, which let them receive commands like "fire at this position" or "fire in this direction"- That relay service passed commands from clients to turtles and the results back to said clients- The Python script connected to the MC server's dynmap (popular service for web maps for Minecraft servers) web API, which, among other things, provides positions of players, and sent commands to fire at the reported position of players.

gollark: Which aren't particularly big, but somewhat useful.

gollark: I have random Python scripts for things I wanted to do at some point which computers could do more easily than I could, like a̦̾̋p͍̫̿p͊̃̇l̜̋̓y̱ͫ̃i̴̔ͫn̲̲͡g͎͏̈́ ̯͋̿r̫͢͡a̲͜͝n̦̽̄d͈̮̤o̻̳̭ṃ̱ͦ ̼͌͠d̵̼̗ǐ̡̕ȧ̰̫ċ̔ͯr̀͠͠ì̄ͥt͓̼͌î͚̘c̞͋̀s͓̬̦ to text, controlling a bunch of laser turrets I had on a Minecraft server over the internet, bulk-converting some music to a different format, and generating beepy noises.

gollark: Putting together simple scripts or whatever to do some random task more easily.

gollark: Random bodging? It's what I do.
