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.
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.
