SR 101 begins at an intersection with SR 117 in the northwestern part of the city of Roanoke. The state highway heads east as a two-lane road between the Westview Terrace and Washington Heights neighborhoods. SR 101 expands to a six-lane divided highway just west of its intersection with Cove Road, which heads south as SR 116.
