State Route 242 (SR 242) is a west-east state highway located in the central part of the U.S. state of Georgia. It runs for approximately 25 miles (40 km) through portions of Washington and Jefferson counties.
SR 242 begins at an intersection with SR 24 (Fall Line Freeway) in Sandersville in Washington County. The route makes an quick turn towards downtown Sandersville as SR 242 Spur continues straight. The route turns south onto SR 15 in the center of the city. After a 0.6-mile-long (0.97 km) concurrency with SR 15, SR 242 turns east at Riddleville Road. This intersection was its original terminus until the Fall Line Freeway was completed. The route heads out of the city in a southeast direction. Just before leaving Sandersville, it crosses a Sandersville Railroad line. Farther to the southeast, it crosses a Central of Georgia Railway line. The road passes Jackson Cemetery before reaching Riddleville. In Riddleville, it intersects SR 231 (Harrison-Riddleville Road to the south and Riddleville-Davisboro Road to the north). After leaving town, SR 242 continues to the southeast, and gradually curves to the east and crosses into Jefferson County. It continues to the east to meet its eastern terminus, an intersection U.S. Route 221 (US 221)/US 319/SR 78/SR 171 in Bartow.
