====Highways==== [[U.S. Route 58 in Virginia|U.S. Route 58]] (Riverside Dr/River St) parallels the north bank of the Dan River traveling east–west through Danville's main commercial district while the [[US 58]] [[Bypass (road)|Bypass]] route bypasses the city's center to the south via the [[Danville Expressway]]. [[U.S. Route 29 in Virginia|U.S. Route 29]] splits into a [[U.S. Route 29 Business (Danville, Virginia)|business route]] and a bypass at the [[North Carolina]]/[[Virginia]] border. The business route enters the heart of Danville via West Main Street and Memorial Drive and exits via Central Boulevard and Piney Forest Road; US 29 Business travels relatively north–south. The bypass (future [[Interstate 785 (Virginia)|Interstate 785]]) takes the eastern segment of the [[Danville Expressway]] and rejoins the business route north of the city near [[Chatham, Virginia]]. [[U.S. Route 360 in Virginia|U.S. Route 360]], which connects Danville with Richmond, enters the city from the east concurrent with U.S. Route 58 (South Boston Road), continuing along U.S. Route 58 Business at the [[Danville Expressway]] interchange, and terminating at the North Main Street intersection just north of downtown.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://blog.virginia.org/2020/09/wanderlove-richmond-farmville-danville/|title=Wanderlove: A Road Trip from Richmond to Danville|last=Anderson Keppel|first=Patricia|date=September 24, 2020|website=Virginia's Travel Blog|access-date=June 9, 2023}}</ref> [[U.S. Route 311]] in 2013 was expanded from North Carolina to terminate just outside Danville's western limits at U.S. Route 58.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://godanriver.com/news/local/govt-and-politics/city-of-danville-planning-organization-applying-for-money-for-road-improvements/article_40f80dbc-0db5-11ed-978d-670da5077ab5.html|title=City of Danville, planning organization applying for money for road improvements|last=Crane|first=John|date=July 27, 2022|website=[[Danville Register & Bee]]|access-date=June 9, 2023}}</ref> [[North Carolina Highway 86]] becomes [[State Route 86 (Virginia)|State Route 86]] once it crosses the state line into Danville as South Main Street. It continues north to its terminus at US 29 Business/Central Boulevard. [[State Route 293 (Virginia)|State Route 293]] was created in 1998 to mark the route of old US 29 Business, which was rerouted to the west. SR 293 enters Danville's downtown historic district as West Main Street, then Main Street, and then crosses the [[Dan River (Virginia)|Dan River]] to meet [[US 29]] Business as North Main Street. [[State Route 51 (Virginia)|State Route 51]] parallels US 58 Business as Westover Drive from its western terminus at US 58 Business at the Danville's corporate limits to its eastern terminus at US 58 Business near the Dan River.
