Vermont Route 242 (VT 242) is a 12.878-mile (20.725 km) long state highway located in Franklin and Orleans counties, Vermont, United States. The route begins at an intersection with VT 118 (Main Street) in the town of Montgomery and runs through the Green Mountains of Vermont past Jay Peak to a junction with VT 101 in the town of Troy. The route was first designated by the state of Vermont in 1959 from the town of Jay to Troy, with the piece in the town of Montgomery being added five years later. In 1972, the segment in Westfield and Jay that connected the two segments was added to the state highway system.
VT 242 begins at an intersection with VT 118 (Main Street) in the hamlet of Montgomery Center (in the town of Montgomery just north of the western terminus of VT 58. Running northeast through Montgomery Center, VT 242 runs along Mountain Road, a two-lane residential street through the eastern side of the hamlet. The route soon bends east and leaves the hamlet, turning east through the town of Montgomery, into a mix of dense woods and residences. The route winds east for a distance, reaching a junction with Minglewood Road, where VT 242 turns northeast running along the base of Big Jay Mountain. At the junction with Christmas Road, VT 242 turns northeast and crosses into Orleans County and into the town of Westfield.
