Route description
View west along SR 226 at SR 1301 just west of Petersburg

SR 226 begins at an intersection with US 460 east of Sutherland; the U.S. Highway heads west as Cox Road and southeast as Airport Street, which serves Dinwiddie County Airport on its way to junction with Interstate 85 and US 1. The state highway heads east as a two-lane road that crosses over Norfolk Southern Railway's Norfolk District rail line. SR 226's surroundings gradually transition from farmland to suburban residential subdivisions and commercial strips. The state highway reaches its eastern terminus at US 1 and US 460 Business (Boydton Plank Road) a short distance west of the independent city of Petersburg.[1][2]

The entire route is in Dinwiddie County.

gollark: Why would you just randomly replace SSDs every year?
gollark: SSDs still cost ~4x more per GB and the reliability is not that different in a stationary system.
gollark: Depends on use pattern - do you want to read only, or read and write lots, or what? In general probably not.
gollark: So yes, anyway, there's non-computer progress and dismissing the computer progress is stupid.
gollark: Modern general purpose compression algorithms are also somewhat better than they were and improving.
