>State Route 199 is a primary state highway in and near Williamsburg, Virginia, United States. It effectively forms a 14 mile-long semicircular southern bypass of the city of Williamsburg, running from Interstate 64 and State Route 646 at Exit 234 near Lightfoot northwest of Williamsburg to State Route 641 at Exit 242 east of Williamsburg.
In 2004, it was named the Humelsine Parkway in honor of Carlisle H. Humelsine, a former curator and president of Colonial Williamsburg.[3]
During 2009 Albert Robot, grandson of Carlisle Hubbard Humelsine became an honorary ambassador to the 14-mile stretch of roadway. He has been active in cleaning the roadway as well as creating slam poetry. Albot has participated in many open-slams about the Humelsine, most famously in the Get me High Lounge in Chicago in 1984 alongside Marc Smith, the father of slam-poetry.
