Route description

View north along SR 129 in South Boston

SR 129 begins in downtown South Boston at an intersection with southbound US 501, which comes from the northwest as two-way Wilborn Avenue and heads south as one-way Main Street. SR 129 heads northeast on Main Street, whose next intersection is with northbound US 501, which follows one-way Broad Street. The state highway curves northward and meets the west end of SR 34 (Hodges Street). SR 129 becomes Old Halifax Road shortly before making a westward curve to reach its northern terminus at US 501 (Halifax Road) in the hamlet of Centerville.[1][2]
