Route description
SR 230 begins at an intersection with US 33 Business (Main Street) in the town of Stanardsville. The state highway heads north through Greene County as Madison Road. SR 230 crosses the Conway River into Madison County and its name changes to Wolftown–Hood Road. The state highway curves to the east at Hood, crosses the Rapidan River, and passes through Wolftown. West of Pratts, SR 230 turns north onto US 29 (Seminole Trail). The state highway follows the four-lane divided highway to the intersection with Orange Road, onto which SR 230 turns east while SR 231 joins US 29 to head toward Madison. SR 230 and SR 231 run concurrently on Orange Road to the center of Pratts, where SR 231 turns south onto Blue Ridge Turnpike. SR 230 passes through the communities of Aroda, Radiant, and Burnt Tree before reaching its eastern terminus at US 15 (James Madison Highway) at Madison Mills a short distance north of US 15's crossing of the Rapidan River.[1][2]
