US BUS 460/SR 40 serves as the street where cross streets lose their "West" prefixes and get "East" prefixes and vice versa. They encounter SR 614 again at West/East Irvin Street. South Main Street itself becomes North Main Street at West/East Broad Street. SR 40 turns east onto Dimwiddie Street and US BUS 460 continues north onto North Main Street, which becomes Cox Road as it curves to the northeast and leaves the city limits. The surroundings become rural once again, as the road briefly runs parallel to the previously mentioned Norfolk and Western line, only to move away from the tracks in order to rise over an embankment so that it may cross another bridge over the tracks. US BUS 460 descends from that bridge near a local lumber yard on the south side of the road and north side of the tracks. The road curves to the northeast one last time where it descends as it finally terminates at the intersection of its parent route, which it shares with SR 609 (Yellow Bird Road).
