U.S. Route 29 Business (US 29 Bus.) in Warrenton, Virginia, is also multiplexed with US 15 Bus. and US 17 Bus., at least at the southern end. After James Madison Highway becomes Shirley Avenue, US 15 Bus. leaves this concurrency at Falmouth Street. US 211 joins the two business routes as US 211 Bus. runs east along Waterloo Street and US 17 Bus./US 29 Bus./US 211 become Broadview Avenue. As the triplex curves right, and intersects Roebling Street, it becomes the Lee Highway, and US 17 Bus. makes a left turn onto Broadview Avenue. US 29 Bus. and US 211 continue on the Lee Highway until the latter terminates at the junction with US 15 Bus. (Blackwell Road). US 15 Bus. and US 29 Bus. continue along the Lee Highway until terminating at the interchange with mainline US 15 and US 29. The business loop was established in 1986 when mainline US 29 was realigned on new expressway east of the city.[36]
