State Route 24 (abbreviated SR 24) is part of Maine's system of numbered state highways, running from Bailey Island south of Orr's Island in Harpswell northward to Gardiner, passing through Brunswick along the way.
SR 24 begins at the southern tip of Bailey Island in the town of Harpswell, where it dead-ends. It proceeds northward through the "downtown" area of Harpswell on Orr's Island and continues onto mainland Maine where it crosses into the town of Brunswick.
SR 24 used to traverse downtown Brunswick, but now bypasses the downtown area. The route continues north until reaching the southern terminus of its business route, then interchanges with a freeway portion of US 1, which it then joins until it reaches SR 196. SR 24 exits US 1 to join Route 196 and both routes cross the Androscoggin River into Topsham. SR 24 splits off from Route 196 immediately after crossing the river and rejoins its former alignment.
SR 24 enters the town of Bowdoinham where it meets the northern terminus of SR 125 and turns northeast. SR 24 enters Richmond and briefly overlaps with SR 197 before continuing into Gardiner, paralleling the river at this point. SR 24 comes to an end in the heart of Gardiner at the intersection of Maine Avenue and Bridge Street (US 201, SR 9, SR 27, and SR 126).
