Route description

SR 269 begins at a diamond interchange with I-64 and US 60. The roadway continues north as SR 42 (Forty Two Road) through Nicelytown. SR 42 runs concurrently with SR 269 south to the former highway's southern terminus at SR 632 (Longdale Furnace Road), where SR 269 turns east. The state highway parallels I-64 and US 60 southeast through the narrow valley of Sharvers Run to the Cowpasture River, then crosses the river and veers northeast to follow Simpson Creek. SR 269 follows the creek to the hamlet of Longdale Furnace to its eastern terminus at a diamond interchange with I-64 and US 60. The roadway continues northeast beyond the interchange as SR 850 (North Mountain Road).[1][2]

Major intersections
