Route description
SR 415 begins at an intersection with US 258 (Mercury Boulevard) west of Interstate 64 (I-64) near Hampton Coliseum. The north leg of the intersection is Todds Lane, which leads north to and becomes part of SR 152.

South of the intersection with Queen Street, SR 415 temporarily becomes an undivided highway as it crosses Newmarket Creek. South of the creek, the state highway turns east onto Queen Street.
