State Route 259 (SR 259) is a primary state highway in the U.S. state of Virginia. The state highway runs a total of 26.80 miles (43.13 km) in two sections. The southern section, in northern Rockingham County, has a length of 21.81 miles (35.10 km) from Interstate 81 (I-81) and U.S. Route 11 (US 11) at Mauzy through Broadway to the West Virginia state line into Mathias. The northern section, in western Frederick County, covers 4.99 miles (8.03 km) from the West Virginia state line north to US 50 at Gore. The two sections of SR 259 are joined by West Virginia Route 259 (WV 259).
SR 259 begins at the diamond interchange between I-81 and US 11 (Valley Pike) at Mauzy. The south leg of the intersection between the state highway and the U.S. Highway is the entrance ramp to southbound I-81. The exit ramp from southbound I-81 alights at the state highway just north of its terminal intersection. SR 259 heads northwest as Mayland Road, which passes through Mayland on its way to Broadway. The state highway veers north and enters the town at its intersection with SR 259 Alternate (Broadway Avenue), which splits west toward the center of the town. At Lee Street, the road continues north as SR 42 (Timber Way); SR 259 turns west onto Lee Street and runs concurrently to the north end of downtown Broadway. There, SR 42 turns south onto Main Street and SR 259 Alternate has its western terminus. SR 259 continues west through a grade crossing of the Chesapeake Western Railway and leaves the town.
