Upadted 03.15 – state #s are back. Google maps removes new routes 289 and 294 from Northern Virginia parkways
UPDATE: As of March 15, 2012, these route markers are back on Google Maps. In fact, the old secondary numbers have been removed which could leave to confusion.
A few weeks ago, I noted that Google Maps had within days added the newly assigned state route numbers, 294 and 289, to the Prince William Parkway and Franconia-Springfield Parkways, respectively. Those identifications are now gone.

The Virginia Department of Transportation surely hasn’t started posting the new numbers — maybe that’s why Google pulled them.
