SR 619 (Scott and Wise Counties)

State Route 619 is a secondary state highway in the southwest part of the U.S. state of Virginia. It runs 23.8 miles (38.3 km) from U.S. Route 23/U.S. Route 58/U.S. Route 421 in Gate City north to the south city limit of Norton, where 12th Street and 11th Street continue to U.S. Route 23/U.S. Route 58 Alternate and U.S. Route 23 Business. The part south of Fort Blackmore is a minor route paralleled by State Route 72. North of Fort Blackmore, SR 619 serves its own corridor. SR 619 is signed within Norton to the junction with U.S. Route 23/U.S. Route 58 Alternate. North of that junction, 11th Street is signed as U.S. Route 58 Alternate Business and a connection between US 23 and U.S. Route 23 Business.

The road from State Route 11 (now U.S. Route 23 Business) south for 4.82 miles (7.76 km) past High Knob was added to the state highway system in 1932, running south from the intersection of Main Avenue and 11th Street. It was numbered State Route 73 in the 1933 renumbering. In the 1930s, the rest of present SR 619 was designated. SR 73 was extended south 0.38 miles (0.61 m) to the Scott County line in 1937, but it was transferred to the secondary system in 1948, bringing SR 619 north to Norton. A small piece of SR 619 south of Fort Blackmore was transferred to the primary system in 1986 as part of an extension of State Route 72.
