SR 5 in Williamsburg
State Route 132 (SR 132) is a primary state highway in the U.S. state of Virginia. Known for most of its length as Henry Street, the state highway runs 4.09 miles (6.58 km) from SR 199 in Williamsburg north to SR 143 in York County near Williamsburg. SR 132 is the main north–south highway through the independent city of Williamsburg. The state highway is also, via SR 143, the primary access road to Colonial Williamsburg, The College of William & Mary, and Colonial Parkway from Interstate 64 (I-64).
SR 132 begins at an intersection with SR 199 (Humelsine Parkway) at the southern edge of the city of Williamsburg. The intersection is just west of SR 199's interchange with Colonial Parkway, which is unsigned SR 90003. SR 132 also has a connection with the parkway just north of the SR 199 intersection. The state highway heads north as two-lane Henry Street, which crosses Paper Mill Creek and passes through a forested area before reaching the southern edge of downtown Williamsburg, where the highway passes the William & Mary School of Law and the National Center for State Courts. North of the DeWitt Wallace Decorative Arts Museum, SR 132 intersects SR 5 (Francis Street). The two highways run concurrently north between Colonial Williamsburg to the east and both the modern downtown of Williamsburg and the College of William & Mary to the west. SR 132 and SR 5 have a junction with Duke of Gloucester Street, once the main east–west street of the city but is now a pedestrian street through Colonial Williamsburg.
