State Route 618 (SR 618) Woodlawn Road is the designation of a distinct suburban surface route within Fort Belvoir, Virginia in the U.S. state of Virginia. This route once connected Route 1 and Beulah road, near Telegraph road. This route is signed as 618 and local residents usually refer to this route by its name.

Route description

SR 618 connected the Friends meeting house on Route 1, with points northwest, and Beulah road.

History

The road was shown on civil war maps in 1865.

The road is a north–south path connecting with Beulah road, and is designated a Snow emergency route.

In 2001, SR 618 was closed to civilian traffic, the fort Belvoir installation where traffic is regulated by the Woodlawn Gate which, as of 2001, only allowed entry from 0500–2100 Monday-Friday with a military identification card. In 2004, the gate was permanently closed to all traffic, with two jersey barriers. The intersection with Beulah road SR 613, and Kingman road was blocked with jersey barriers.

In 2009, no trespassing signs were added to the gate.

No maintenance has been done on the road since 2001, but it remains on the VDOT maintenance map.
