Virginia State Route 89

File:2017-06-25 17 25 24 View north along Virginia State Route 89 (Main Street) just north of Camp Zion Road (Virginia State Secondary Route 865) in Galax, Virginia.jpg

SR 89 begins at the North Carolina state line a short distance south of Low Gap, where the highway crosses the Eastern Continental Divide. The highway continues south as NC 89, which descends the Blue Ridge Mountains to the community of Lowgap in the valley of the Fisher River. After entering the watershed of the New River, SR 89 crosses the West Fork of Chestnut Creek and has an interchange with the Blue Ridge Parkway, which provides access to the Blue Ridge Music Center to the east. North of the parkway, the state highway intersects SR 613 (Edmonds Road), which leads west to Big Spring Bog Natural Area Preserve. SR 89 heads straight north as Skyline Highway to McCarmant Hill, where the highway leaves Grayson County and enters the independent city of Galax as Main Street. The state highway crosses Chestnut Creek twice before meeting the western end of SR 97 (Pipers Gap Road). SR 89 heads through downtown Galax before reaching its northern terminus at US 58 and US 221 (Stuart Drive).

The whole route was added to the state highway system in 1928 as State Route 117.{{cite web|url= http://www.virginiadot.org/meetings/minutes_pdf/CTB-09-1928-01.pdf |title=Minutes of the Meeting of the State Highway Commission of Virginia Held in Richmond, Virginia, September 27, 1928 }} {{small|(409 KiB)}}, page 10 It was renumbered State Route 96 in the 1933 renumbering, and in the 1940 renumbering it was renumbered State Route 89 to match North Carolina Highway 89.{{cite web|url= http://www.virginiadot.org/meetings/minutes_pdf/CTB-10-1940-01.pdf |title=Minutes of the Meeting of the State Highway Commission of Virginia, Held in Richmond, October 10, 1940 }} {{small|(332 KiB)}}, page 13
