Route description

View east from the west end of SR 254 at SR 42 in Buffalo Gap

SR 254 begins at an intersection with SR 42 in the hamlet of Buffalo Gap. SR 42 heads west as Parkersburg Turnpike through the namesake water gap in Little North Mountain, and north as Buffalo Gap Highway. SR 254 heads east as two-lane undivided Parkersburg Turnpike, which crosses the

Mary Baldwin College, and the Woodrow Wilson Presidential Library in the eastern part of downtown. The one-way pair concludes at Coalter Street, which westbound SR 254 uses to reach Frederick Street. Beverley Street continues east to the Virginia School for the Deaf and the Blind campus while the state highway turns south onto Coalter Street.[1][2]

Two blocks to the south, SR 254 has a four-way intersection with

divided highway. The two highways parallel the railroad to New Hope Road; SR 254 leaves US 11 via a two-way ramp to join New Hope Road, which passes under both US 11 and the railroad. SR 254 intersects SR 261 (Statler Boulevard) and leaves of its overpass of Interstate 81. The state highway veers northeast to meet the northern terminus of SR 262 (Woodrow Wilson Boulevard). SR 254 continues east as Hermitage Road, which crosses Christians Creek and gradually curves southeast and south to the city of Waynesboro. The state highway enters the city as Ivy Street, then turns south onto Poplar Street and has a grade crossing of the CSX rail line. SR 254 intersects US 250 (Broad Street) one block north of its eastern terminus at US 340 (Main Street) at the west end of downtown Waynesboro.[1][2]
