History edit
The East Huntington Bridge was built in 1985,[3] and a year later, SR 607 was designated.[4]

As a part of the Chesapeake Bypass project, SR 607 was temporarily extended north of SR 7 and SR 243 along a new bypass alignment to Irene Road in 2004. The extension was known as SR 607T.[5] In 2006, SR 7 was moved onto this road and SR 775 was extended south to replace SR 607.[2]
