Virginia State Route 114 is a primary state highway in the U.S. state of Virginia. Known as Peppers Ferry Road, the state highway runs 10.32 miles (16.61 km) from U.S. Route 11 (US 11) in Fairlawn east to US 460 in Christiansburg. SR 114 is the northernmost of three east–west highways between Radford and Christiansburg and the most direct highway between Radford and Blacksburg. The state highway also connects those cities with the Radford Army Ammunition Plant.

Route description

SR 114 begins at an intersection with US 11 (Lee Highway) in Fairlawn, a community in Pulaski County across the New River from the city of Radford. The state highway heads east as a five-lane road with center turn lane through a commercial area. East of the commercial area, SR 114 becomes a four-lane divided highway for a short distance before the westbound direction veers onto the eastbound carriageway. The state highway continues east as a two-lane two-way road on the southern of two carriageways; the northern carriageway is unused. SR 114 continues in this formation to the New River, where the two-lane highway crosses the river closely paralleled by a closed through truss bridge to the north. Once in Montgomery County, the state highway crosses over Norfolk Southern Railway's Christiansburg District. The westbound carriageway becomes used again just west of the entrance to the Radford Army Ammunition Plant in Centerville.[1][2]

SR 114 continues east as a two-lane road on a single carriageway that passes through farmland to the south of Price Mountain on its way to the town of Christiansburg. The state highway intersects the Huckleberry Trail, a rail trail, to the south of the New River Valley Mall before intersecting US 460 Business (Franklin Street). There, SR 114 expands to a six-lane divided highway that passes through a commercial area between the business route and the partial cloverleaf interchange with US 460 that serves as the highway's eastern terminus. Peppers Ferry Road continues east as a divided highway for a short distance beyond the easternmost ramps of the interchange before curving north as two-lane Cinnabar Road, which serves as a frontage road for US 460.[1][2]
